Overview
Delhi layers Old Delhi's Mughal-era energy around Jama Masjid and Red Fort with New Delhi's grand Lutyens-designed boulevards. The Qutb Minar, Humayun's Tomb, and Akshardham Temple alone justify an international flight.
IHG's InterContinental portfolio, Marriott's JW Marriott Aerocity, and Hyatt's Andaz Delhi all offer outstanding redemptions. CPP frequently exceeds 2 cents, making Delhi one of the highest-value redemption cities globally.
The winter dry season offers comfortable temperatures in the mid-20s Celsius. Top experiences include the qawwali music at Nizamuddin Dargah on Thursday evenings.
Cash vs Points
Hotels in Delhi range from $36 to $219 per night. Points redemptions offer 1.63+ cents per point value.
