Escape to Luxury: Vibe by The LaLiT's Delhi & NCR Oasis Awaits
Escape to Luxury: Vibe by The LaLiT Delhi & NCR - More Than Just a Hotel, It's a Mood (and a REALLY Good One!)
Okay, so I just got back from a whirlwind stay at Vibe by The LaLiT Delhi & NCR, and honestly, my brain's still buzzing. Forget the perfectly polished brochure, this is the real deal, the unfiltered truth, the slightly-too-enthusiastic-because-I-slept-so-well-review. Buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving deep.
First Impressions (and a Bit of a Rambling Start…):
Landing at the hotel, I'm immediately transported to a different world. Forget the usual Delhi chaos, Vibe feels like a secret garden of calm. The lobby? Gorgeous. The staff? Super friendly – and not in that fake, robotic way, either. It actually felt like they wanted me there, which, after a stressful flight, is pure gold. The exterior? Clean lines, modern design. It’s a good start.
Accessibility: A Big Thumbs Up - and This Matters!
Before I get into the fluffy stuff (hello, spa!), let me give a shout-out to their Accessibility: Facilities for disabled guests is listed, and from what I could see, they’ve really thought about it. The elevators are obviously there, making getting around easy, and I saw plenty of thoughtful touches like ramps and wider doorways. This is something I genuinely appreciate, and it's sadly not always a given. Huge respect to Vibe for making an effort.
Checking In and Out (and Avoiding the Headache):
Contactless check-in/out is a lifesaver. Seriously, who wants to spend ages at the front desk these days? They also offer express check-in/out, which is clutch if you're in a hurry. And the front desk [24-hour] means help is always at hand.
The Room: My Personal Oasis (and Let's Get Real About Those Blackout Curtains!)
Okay, let’s talk ROOMS. I snagged a non-smoking room (thank goodness!), and the details were on point. Air conditioning? Check. Coffee/tea maker? Check. Free Wi-Fi? Double check! (And thank god for Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!). Everything was super clean - Rooms sanitized between stays and Daily housekeeping mean you don’t have to worry about dust bunnies. Honestly, the bed was so comfy, I could barely drag myself out of it. The blackout curtains were a godsend - seriously, I slept like a log. If there's a downside, it's that I might have become a little too attached to the bathrobes.
There were also Bathrobes, Slippers, Complimentary tea, Free bottled water in the room. And you know what else is great? Additional toilet in the bathroom. I didn't even need it, but just knowing it was there made me feel bougie!
Food, Glorious Food (and My Minor Salad-Related Tragedy):
Okay, the food. This is where things get really interesting. They've got options for days. Let's break it down:
- Breakfast is a must! The Buffet in restaurant was a feast for the eyes (and the stomach!). They do a great Asian breakfast, but there's also all the Western breakfast staples you could want. The fresh fruit was incredible.
- Lunch/Dinner: Restaurants galore! The Asian cuisine in restaurant was fantastic. They even do a cool Vegetarian restaurant.
- A la carte in restaurant: Need something specific? No problem.
- Room service is 24-hour: Perfect for late-night cravings.
Now, here comes my mini-tragedy. I ordered a salad. It arrived looking stunning. But, and this is a pure "me" problem, I got distracted by something pretty and I didn't put any dressing on it. So, I ate the salad, and it was just… salad. Totally my fault, but still, a moment of sadness.

But the Happy hour was happy, and the poolside bar made everything better.
The Spa: Where My Stress Melted Away (and I Met the Most Amazing Therapist):
This is where Vibe truly shines. The spa is an absolute haven. They have everything: Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Massage, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom.
My favorite part? THE MASSAGE. I booked a deep tissue massage. The therapist, whose name I've sadly forgotten (I was too blissed out!), had magic hands. Seriously. All my tension just vanished. I'm talking full-body zen. I walked out floating. The Pool with view was a bonus.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax, and the All-Important "Me Time"
Beyond the spa, they've got a ton of options. The Fitness center is well-equipped, which is essential for getting your gym time in. The Swimming pool [outdoor] is beautiful. And the whole vibe just encourages relaxation.

Cleanliness and Safety: Peace of Mind in Unprecedented Times
I'm always a bit hyper-vigilant about hygiene, especially these days. I felt super safe at Vibe. They're serious about Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer everywhere, and Rooms sanitized between stays. Plus, the staff are clearly trained in staff trained in safety protocol. Knowing all that made a huge difference.
There is also a Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Shared stationery removed, Sterilizing equipment.

Alright, buckle up buttercup, because you're about to embark on a slightly unhinged (in the best way!) journey through the concrete jungle that is Delhi, all from the somewhat luxurious, yet inevitably flawed, perspective of yours truly, based out of the Vibe By The LaLiT Traveller. Buckle up, because it's gonna be a bumpy ride. Day 1: Arrival and Delhi Belly 2.0 (The LaLiT & Old Delhi)
- Morning (8:00 AM): Landed at Indira Gandhi International Airport. The air conditioning in the terminal was fighting a losing battle against the Delhi heat. Honestly, I sweat more waiting for my luggage than I do in a gym. (And I never go to the gym.)
- Morning (9:30 AM): Check-in at Vibe. "Vibe" is an apt name. It does give off a…vibe. Clean, modern, a welcome respite from the chaos to come. The staff? Super polite, almost too polite. Like they've been trained to smile no matter what. I’m betting they are secretly plotting world domination.
- Morning (10:30 AM): Room reconnaissance. Okay, decent view, comfy bed… but the shower pressure? Weak. Seriously, I’ve seen more forceful garden hoses. First impressions are important.
- Morning (11:30 AM): I ventured out. I really did, to the chaos and the food. Okay, maybe I am a little more adventurous than I thought. I ate the street food. I knew I shouldn't have.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Reached out to the concierge. They said they could book me a car to Old Delhi. Booked it. Then I went.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM): Old Delhi. Oh, sweet mercy. A sensory overload in the best, most overwhelming way. The smells! The sounds! The sheer humanity! I walked through the spice market, sneezing my way through mountains of coriander and chili powder. Haggling for trinkets was a complete mess. I probably overpaid by a factor of five, but hey, experience, right?
- Afternoon (4:30 PM): Trying to find the perfect Biryani. I went in, ate, and then was very, very regretful. It was so tasty, it was hard to resist!
- Evening (6:00 PM): Back to the hotel via a Tuk Tuk. Negotiating the fare was akin to a high-stakes poker game, except instead of chips, we used rupees and body language. Pretty sure I got ripped off. Again.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Back at the hotel. The air conditioning has finally won. I ordered room service – a safe choice, I thought. (Wrong!) The "mild" butter chicken was…explosively spiced. My stomach is doing a samba. This could be a very long night. Delhi belly 2.0, here I come. I regret everything.
- Evening (8:00 PM): I'm drinking water. I'm regretting water. My stomach is rebelling. I have never loved a toilet as much as I do right now.
Day 2: Monuments and Misadventures (Humayun's Tomb & India Gate)
- Morning (7:00 AM): The worst of the Delhi Belly has passed. I will live…I think. I learned my lesson - stay away from the street food.
- Morning (9:00 AM): Humayun's Tomb. Stunning. Truly. The architecture is breathtaking. The sheer scale of it is humbling. I wandered around in a haze of awe, completely ignoring the hordes of selfie sticks.
- Morning (11:00 AM): India Gate. Again, impressive. The sheer solemnity of the place hit me hard. Seeing the names of the fallen soldiers etched into the stone… it made me remember that I was here. I was in India.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Lunch at a tourist-friendly restaurant near India Gate. The food was… okay. Safe. Bland. But my stomach is still fragile so I'm not complaining.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM): Trying to find a good coffee. I'm desperate. I'm in Delhi. The streets are insane. I am confused. After an hour of walking in the heat, I found a Starbucks. Don't judge me.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM): A small nap.
- Evening (6:00 PM): The LaLiT's pool. Oh. My. God. The only peace I have found on this crazy, crazy trip. A martini. Some sun. Just. Beautiful.
- Evening (8:00 PM): Dinner at the hotel's restaurant. This time, I'm playing it extremely safe. A simple chicken Caesar salad. Pray for me.
Day 3: Shopping and (Hopefully) Peace (Connaught Place & Departure)
- Morning (9:00 AM): Connaught Place. Retail therapy, here I come! The chaotic energy of the place is unlike anything I’ve experienced. I got lost in an endless series of shops, haggling for clothes and souvenirs. I found an antique shop that I loved!
- Afternoon (12:00 PM): Lunch. The hotel suggested a restaurant.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Packing. I’m leaving. I’m relieved. At the same time, I'm already dreaming.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM): Departure. The airport is a nightmare.
- (The rest is a blur): On the plane. It’s over. I am exhausted.
- (Later): I survived!
This is just a taste, a messy glimpse into a trip. Honestly, it's been an emotional rollercoaster, a sensory overload, and a potential stomach-related disaster. And it has also been amazing. I'm a mess, but I'm alive, and I've experienced something truly unforgettable. Now, all I need is a long shower, a strong drink, and maybe a good therapist (or two). Delhi, you were a ride!
