The Maidens Hotel, Delhi, is located in a residential area of Old Delhi approximately 25 minutes drive from Connaught Place, the main shopping centre of New Delhi, and 50 minutes' drive from the airport. It is an older style property built in colonial days, hence its stately appearance and atmosphere.

The hotel has 53 rooms, a coffee shop, a main dining room and a small bar.

The Laxmi Vilas, Bharatpur is a converted royal residence. It should be remembered that this building was not designed as a hotel; the imaginative conversion has been based on retaining as many original features as possible, and this does preclude the full range of facilities found in a purpose-built hotel (for instance, the rooms are not standardised and so vary quite considerably in size).
