**Escape to Royalty: Singh Palace's Delhi & NCR Luxury Awaits!**
Escape to Royalty: Singh Palace - More Than Just a Hotel, It's a Delhi Dream (and a Few Minor Hiccups)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because I’m about to spill the chai on Escape to Royalty: Singh Palace's Delhi & NCR Luxury Awaits! This isn't your cookie-cutter hotel review; this is the real deal, warts and all (mostly gorgeous warts, mind you). I spent a week there, soaking up the Delhi vibe, and… well, let's just say I'm still dreaming of the pool with a view. And some minor annoyances. Let's dive in, shall we?
First Impressions & Accessibility: The Good, the Great, and a Tiny Bit of a Grind
Right off the bat, Singh Palace oozes regal charm. The lobby? Think opulent chandeliers, soaring ceilings, and enough polished marble to make a Roman emperor blush. Accessibility is a mixed bag, honestly. Wheelchair accessibility in public areas is pretty good – elevators are plentiful and wide, and navigating the main areas is a breeze. But the hallways to the rooms? Could be a little tighter for some. And while they say Facilities for disabled guests are available… well, I didn’t see a ton of dedicated features in the room itself (more on that later).
Internet Access: Wi-Fi Woes & Wireless Wins!
Let's be real, in the modern world, Wi-Fi is practically oxygen. And Singh Palace mostly delivers. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! – check! It’s pretty decent, too, good enough for streaming and video calls. There's also Internet access – wireless mentioned. But, I did notice some spotty connection in the far reaches of my room. There’s also Internet [LAN] but… who uses a LAN cable anymore, right?
Rooms: Luxurious Comfort (and a Minor Lighting Glitch)
Okay, the rooms. Stunning. Truly. I had a high floor room and the view was spectacular. The blackout curtains were a lifesaver after those early Delhi mornings (trust me, you need them). The air conditioning was a godsend, blasting icy air after a day of exploring. The bed? Heavenly. Extra long bed was a plus. The bathroom… oh, the bathroom! Separate shower/bathtub, fluffy bathrobes, and a generous supply of toiletries. Plus the bonus of a bathtub! And the slippers were a thoughtful touch.
That Lighting, Though… One minor gripe: the lighting in my room was… erratic. Flickering lights, switches that controlled seemingly random lamps. It was a minor annoyance, but it definitely broke the luxurious flow a bit. But overall, the room was a true haven.
Cleanliness & Safety: Feeling Safe and Sound (Mostly)
So, this is one area where Singh Palace really shines. Cleanliness and safety are clearly a top priority. I saw anti-viral cleaning products being used everywhere. Rooms sanitized between stays, daily disinfection in common areas, and staff trained in safety protocol – all reassuring. They even offer a room sanitization opt-out available, if you prefer. I also appreciated the presence of hand sanitizer readily available and individually-wrapped food options. They've gone the extra mile.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking: Food Glorious Food! (Mostly, Again)
Listen, if you’re a foodie, you’re in for a treat. Singh Palace has options galore. The restaurants are fantastic. The Asian cuisine in restaurant was top-notch, and the Western cuisine in restaurant was also very delectable. And the breakfast [buffet]… oh, the breakfast! It's a veritable feast. The buffet in restaurant has a ridiculous selection. But the best part? Without a doubt, the international cuisine in restaurant, it could be found in the a la carte restaurant. They also offer Alternative meal arrangement. The only downside? The service during the buffet could be a little… chaotic. It's India, folks! Sometimes you have to flag down a server a few times for that extra cup of coffee.
- My Poolside Oasis: I’m telling you, the Poolside bar is where it’s at. I spent an afternoon basking in the sun, sipping a cocktail (the gin and tonic was perfection), and just existing. That Pool with view wasn't just a pool; it was a portal to pure bliss. I spent hours bobbing around, pretending I was a movie star. That was the best time.
Ways to Relax: Spa Days and Fitness Frenzies (with a Few Niggles)
Okay, this is where things get REALLY good. The Spa is divine. I indulged in a massage and it was the most relaxing thing I've ever experienced. The sauna and steamroom are fantastic. They offer a variety of body scrubs and body wraps. And the foot bath was a nice addition.
But the Gym/fitness center, while functional, felt a little… cramped. The equipment was decent, but the space was limited. So, it's not the best - and not the worst.
Services and Conveniences: Helpful, But Not Always Instant
Singh Palace offers a wide range of services and conveniences. The concierge was incredibly helpful with recommendations and bookings. Daily housekeeping kept my room immaculate. They have laundry service which was pretty fast. They also have room service [24-hour], always a win. They have a convenience store for basic needs.
But sometimes, service could be a little slow. The Doorman got me a taxi quickly, but waiting for your luggage and even the simplest requests could sometimes take a while.
Things to Do: Delhi Adventures Await!
Singh Palace is perfectly positioned for exploring Delhi. They offer Airport transfer which is convenient. The Taxi service is readily available as well. They have a Car park [free of charge] and a Valet parking option. It has it. It offers a Car park [on-site] too. They have so much to see.
For the Kids: Mostly Family-Friendly
Singh Palace is definitely family/child friendly. They offer babysitting service and kids facilities.
Safety and Security, Check-In/Out: Feeling Secure!
I felt super safe at Singh Palace. There’s security [24-hour] and CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property. They have plenty of Safety/security feature. The fire extinguisher and smoke alarms are reassuring. Check-in/out [express] and Check-in/out [private].
Getting Around: Easy Peasy
Getting around is easy. Plenty of taxis available. The airport transfer is worth the cost.
Okay, Enough Rambling! The Verdict & My Honest Recommendation
Look, Singh Palace isn’t perfect. There were minor hiccups here and there, but honestly, the good far outweighs the bad. The luxurious rooms, the incredible dining, the relaxing spa… all of it adds up to a truly memorable experience.
Here's the bottom line:
- Pros: Unbeatable rooms, amazing food, a fantastic spa, excellent safety protocols, prime location.
- Cons: Spotty Wi-Fi in some rooms, occasional slow service.
Would I recommend it? ABSOLUTELY. Especially if you're looking for a luxurious escape with a touch of Delhi magic. It's a true escape to royalty, with just enough quirks to make it feel… real.

Lisbon Luxury: Comtesse Lisbonne Apartment - Your Dream Escape Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your sanitized, perfectly-planned travelogue. This is ME, in DELI, India, and it's gonna be a glorious, messy, delicious mess. Specifically, Hotel Singh Palace & NCR. Let's get this show on the road!
My Delhi Diary: A Love-Hate Letter (with a side of Delhi Belly, hopefully not.)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Airport Shuffle.
Morning (5:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Ugh. Five freakin’ AM. The flight from… well, let's just say it involved a significant amount of airplane peanuts and the existential dread of long-haul travel. Arrived at Indira Gandhi International Airport, and immediately felt like I'd wandered into a Bollywood film set (in a good way, mostly!). Immigration? Let's be honest, it's always a gamble. My passport photo clearly showed me ten pounds lighter and significantly less sleep-deprived. The officer looked at me (and the photo) with the kind of weary resignation that only comes from a life spent stamping travel documents. He eventually waved me through. Bless him.
Getting to the Hotel (9:00 AM - 11:00 AM): Pre-booked a car, praying it’s not owned by a serial killer. (Delhi traffic is its own kind of killer, come to think of it). The driver, a lovely chap named Rajeev, immediately greeted me with a smile and a "Namaste!" Then promptly got stuck in gridlock. An hour later, we were moving… sporadically. The sheer noise! Horns blaring, chai wallahs yelling, the general symphony of chaos. Rajeev kept pointing out things – cows wandering the streets, the beauty of the Lotus Temple, the intricate handwork of the shops… Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Hotel Singh Palace, here we come!
Check-In and The Room… (11:00 AM – 12:00 PM): The lobby is much nicer than I was expecting. It feels… luxurious. The staff is attentive, and after a quick check–in and an iced lemon tea, I'm finally in my room. It's clean, spacious, and… the air conditioning works! That alone deserves a round of applause. I'm already in love with Delhi, kinda. I dump my stuff, inhale deeply (hoping for clean air, but I'll take what I can get), and promptly fall asleep for an hour. Jet lag does not mess around.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Lunch at the hotel's restaurant. Chicken Tikka Masala, because, duh. It was… good. Really good. Actually, it was fantastic. I think I might've moaned a little. The spice level was perfect. After lunch, I attempted a stroll through Connaught Place (CP). Emphasis on attempted. The crowds are insane. The hawkers are persistent. My wallet felt like it was constantly under siege. Briefly considered running back to the hotel and locking myself in my room. I bought some gorgeous (and hopefully, authentic) pashmina shawls, fought off a persistent rickshaw driver, and retreated. My energy levels are dipping, and my stomach is rumbling again. Is it lunchtime already?
Evening (5:00 PM – onwards): Decided on a simple dinner: Tandoori Chicken, this time. And a beer. Actually, make that two. Sitting here on the balcony, watching the city lights flicker. Delhi is overwhelming. It's beautiful. It's chaotic. It's… a lot. But tonight, I'm feeling… intrigued. And a little bit in love with the food. Already dreading tomorrow's meetings. Sigh.
Day 2: Old Delhi and the Pursuit of Flavor (and Avoiding Delhi Belly).
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Breakfast at the hotel. Omelet. Paratha. Coffee that actually tastes like coffee! Feeling much better after a solid night's sleep. Today: Old Delhi! I hired a driver (different guy than Rajeev, and he's much more… assertive. Good for navigating Delhi traffic). Our first stop, the sprawling Jama Masjid mosque. It's unbelievably stunning, and the size is mind-boggling. I was immediately mesmerized by the architecture, the call to prayer echoing through the courtyards, the general… feeling of being utterly transported. I'm even more captivated by the smell of Delhi. Specifically, the street food.
- Noon (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM): Holy. Freakin'. Cow. Street food tour of Chandni Chowk. My driver looked concerned. My stomach gave a small whimper of anticipation. We went to some of the most famous food stalls. The parathe with ghee and the spicy chole bhature. Seriously, my taste buds might've had a religious experience. I'm probably going to regret this later. But I don't care.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Quick visit to the Red Fort. It’s magnificent, but after the sensory overload of Chandni Chowk, I'm a bit… glazed over. The sheer crowds makes seeing the full extent of the palace complicated. My attention deficit disorder and the heat are not helping. I am definitely going to regret this.
- Evening (5:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Back to the hotel. Shower. (Needed). Decided to eat light tonight (ha!). Ordered room service: Dal Makhani and Raita. Delicious. The hotel is a refuge, a peaceful oasis. I watched some Netflix, hoping I didn't screw up my stomach by eating street food. My stomach is also rumbling.
Day 3: Culture, Crafts, and the Curse of Packing.
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Visit to Humayun's Tomb. It's beautiful, and the architecture is just stunning. I felt moved by the stories attached to the tomb. But the heat is… intense. Almost unbearable. I need to get some water.
- Noon (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM): The Crafts Museum. Absolutely gorgeous. I got lost in the textiles and the intricate craftsmanship. Bought a gorgeous carved wooden box. Spent way too long haggling with a vendor (a skill I’m slowly acquiring). Feel like a pro-shopper, at least in comparison to yesterday!
- Afternoon (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Lunch at a local restaurant. Tried something new, something spicy, something… with a name I can't pronounce. It was delicious. And as I walked back to the hotel, I started feeling like I was going to be sick. I will never eat street food again.
- Evening (5:00 PM - Onwards): Spent the rest of the evening in bed. Feeling awful.
Day 4: The Last Day. And a Plea for a Toilet.
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Breakfast at the hotel. So I think my illness might be the Delhi Belly. And I will say I barely touched my food. And I barely left the hotel.
- Noon (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM): Tried to pack. Realized I've bought too much stuff. The curse of the souvenir is real.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Ate bland rice and yoghurt.
- Evening (5:00 PM - Onwards): Flight.
Final Thoughts:
Delhi. Oh, Delhi. You are a rollercoaster. You are beautiful. You are challenging. You are… a lot. I’m leaving with a full belly, a lighter wallet, and a slightly haunted look in my eyes (thanks, Delhi Belly!). Would I go back? Absolutely. But next time, I'm bringing serious digestive aids and a hazmat suit for the street food. And maybe a therapist. Just in case. Namaste, Delhi. And thank you… for the (mostly) wonderful and weird experience.

Escape to Royalty: Singh Palace's Delhi & NCR Luxury - FAQs (Because Let's Be Real, We All Have Questions!)
Okay, Spill the Tea: Is Singh Palace Actually *Royalty*? Like, Real-Deal Royal?
Alright, alright, let's not get carried away. While the name *might* hint at princes and palaces and maybe even a secret lineage... no, it's not like you're going to bump into the actual Maharaja casually sipping chai in the lobby. (Though, wouldn't that be *wild*?) Singh Palace is about *experiencing* a regal vibe. Think opulent decorations, attentive service that makes you *feel* special, and maybe, just maybe, a touch of that old-world charm. I, for one, certainly felt like a queen when they brought me that perfectly-iced mango lassi at 3 AM. (Don't judge. Jet lag is a beast!)
What Kind of "Luxury" Are We Talking About? Will I Need to Remortgage My House?
Okay, let's be honest, "luxury" means different things to different people. I've stayed in places where "luxury" meant a slightly fancier brand of instant coffee. Trust me, Singh Palace is *not* that. We're talking plush bedding, ridiculously comfortable mattresses that make you crave nap time at *every* hour, exquisite decor (I swear, the chandeliers had me staring for a good ten minutes), and a level of service that'll make you feel like you've got a personal concierge. Price-wise? It's a treat, yes, but not necessarily a "sell your kidneys" situation, but it's definitely not cheap. That said? Worth it. You're paying for an experience, not just a room.
Speaking of details, I was *obsessed* with the bathroom. The marble, the rainfall shower... I almost didn't leave. My partner had to practically drag me out!
Okay, So What's the Food *Really* Like? (Because Let's Face It, That's Half the Experience!)
Oh. My. God. The food. Prepare for a culinary adventure of epic proportions. From authentic Indian dishes bursting with flavor (the butter chicken was basically a religious experience) to international cuisine that actually tastes *good*, it's a feast for the senses. Breakfast buffets? Forget everything you know. Think mountains of fresh fruit, pastries that melt in your mouth, and made-to-order omelets that will make you weep with joy. My favorite memory? Probably the samosas. I had, like, seven. Don't judge me! And the staff, oh, the staff. They're always so helpful and kind. They even gave me the recipe for the butter chicken. Although, I'm pretty sure mine will never taste as good. *sigh*
What About the Location? Is It Convenient or Am I Going to Be Stuck in Traffic Hell?
Well, Delhi traffic is legendary, right? Let's just say you won't magically teleport to your destinations. But Singh Palace usually boasts a pretty strategic location, making it easier to access major attractions in Delhi and the surrounding NCR (National Capital Region). Do your research and check the specific location relative to *your* desired activities. If you plan on being a major sightseer, perhaps something closer to the heart of Old Delhi might suit you better.
But if you're looking for a tranquil escape with easy access to shopping and some of the city's more modern attractions? Singh Palace often delivers.
Are There Activities? Like, Besides Lounging Around and Eating All Day? (Because, Honestly, I'd Be Fine with Just That...)
Yes! Well, probably. Each location is different, so check the specific Singh Palace. They *usually* have a gym (I attempted to work out... once), a spa (I highly recommend the massage!), and even a pool (which, admittedly, I mostly used for lounging with a cocktail). Also, they usually have options like tour packages, offering guided tours of nearby sights. My biggest regret? Not exploring more. I spent so much time in my ridiculously comfy bed, watching cable.
Packing Essentials: What Should I Absolutely Bring to Singh Palace?
Okay, packing list time! Number one? Seriously comfortable shoes. You'll be doing a lot of walking if you're exploring. Number two? An empty stomach! You'll need to make room for *all* the delicious food. Number three? (And this is crucial) your best swimwear because you're 100% going to want to spend time by the pool. Don't forget your sunglasses, a good book (or your favourite streaming service), and...wait for it... an open mind. Be prepared to be pampered. Be prepared to be amazed. And be prepared to maybe, just maybe, never want to leave. Also, for heavens' sake, bring extra phone chargers. You're going to be taking *so* many pictures.
What's the "Vibe" Really Like? Is it Stuffy and Formal or More Relaxed?
It aims to be both sophisticated and comfortable, they want you to feel like you belong – not uncomfortable if you're not wearing your best suit. The staff's welcoming and helpful; they want you to relax and enjoy a break.
The key is to be respectful, but also not worry about being perfect. I certainly didn't manage that, but it was still a good time.
Are Singles Welcome? or a honeymoon destination?
Single travelers can be welcome at Singh Palace, and couples celebrating honeymooners are celebrated too. The mood is generally relaxed and inviting, and the staff aims at accommodating both kinds of visitors. I saw couples and families and solo travelers. It's really for anyone looking for a treat.
I went solo.
What's the Best Time to Visit to Avoid Crowds?
Okay, avoiding crowds in Delhi is like trying to dodge raindrops in a monsoon. It's tough. The best time for a comfortable stay might just depend on your tolerance for heat and holidaymakers. Shoulder seasons (spring and autumn) usually offer milder weather and fewer crowds, but you might have to deal with some humidity or the odd festival.
My advice? Go when *you* want to go, just book in advance.
