Delhi hotels serve delegations, lift revenues

Big names like The Leela and ITC Maurya have turned into buzzing diplomatic hubs, even customizing menus with ingredients have also arrived with the delegations.

In Aerocity alone, occupancy could hit 90%, with rates up by nearly 15-20% at Lemon Tree in Aerocity.

Major chains such as Indian Hotels Co. and Lemon Tree Hotels are seeing a big revenue boost thanks to longer stays and sky-high prices during the summit.
