Some of the hotels that came later have aged enough to become almost as rich in stories as The Ashok. And Edwin Lutyens planned New Delhi while staying as a guest at Maidens Hotel. The Imperial had a permanent suite for the Nehru family. The remaining two are lost today in the crowd of luxury hotels that have come up in the National Capital Region, but they have rich histories. And Swiss Hotel has made way for the Oberoi Apartments. The first two no longer exist Hotel Cecil was replaced by St Xavier’s School in the late 1950s. When The Ashok was coming up, Delhi had four opulent hotels: Cecil, Swiss, Maidens and The Imperial. He said, “We should disinvest Ashoka Hotel, but how do you value the land there… I think 50 years we will be in litigation to sort that problem.' Earlier this year, in an interview to The Hindu, Arvind Subramanian, chief economic adviser to the Government of India, repeated the wisdom that the government had no business running hotels. The first disinvestment of ITDC hotels took place under the Bharatiya Janata Party-led NDA government in 2002. Last month, Hindustan Times reported that the government was planning to sell ITDC hotels as part of its strategy to get out of the hotel business.

Further inside, a corridor runs deep into the heart of this sandstone edifice.Ĭolossal though it is, The Ashok finds itself in a delicate situation. The lobby has massive chandeliers and staircases. The hotel’s unshaded driveway makes its way past a sloping garden lined by almost blinding, flaming-red flowers of gulmohar trees. Everyone in Delhi calls it Ashoka, not Ashok, and it’s no fault of theirs, for the hotel was renamed The Ashok only in 2007, to “boost its image in the competitive market', according to general manager Vijay Dutt. It takes 1,000 employees and ₹ 35 lakh to run the hotel daily. It has more than 500 rooms and 200 trees.
