BRICS summit sparks New Delhi hotel rush, rooms at ₹2.5L
With the 18th BRICS leaders' summit hitting New Delhi on September 12-13, luxury hotels are seeing a big rush and some wild price hikes.
Rooms at ITC Maurya, where Russian President Putin is staying, are going for up to ₹2.5 lakh a night at the highest room category.
The Lalit New Delhi has bumped its Legacy Suite from around ₹1.1 lakh a week later to over ₹5 lakh for September 11-12: talk about demand!
Top hotels sold out, rates 40%+
Top spots like The Oberoi and Taj Mahal Hotel are sold out, and TravClan reports room rates across New Delhi hotels are up by over 40% compared to August.
This surge highlights how events like BRICS boost the city's hospitality scene, but experts say Delhi still struggles with enough high-end hotel space, just like during the G20 Summit before that.
