Hyatt Regency Delhi
History
Asian Hotels (North) Ltd was incorporated in 1980 and was promoted by R S Saraf, R K Jatia, Chaman Lal Gupta, three Non-Resident Indians together with Sushil Gupta and Shiv Jatia, their Indian Associates. The builders entered into a 10-year franchise agreement with Hyatt International, and the new hotel was the chain's first hotel in India. The hotel's construction was spurred by the Asian Games in 1982. The Hyatt Regency Delhi opened in 1983.
The hotel briefly ceased to be associated with Hyatt Hotels on November 6, 2020 before it entered bankruptcy in 2021. It has since rejoined the chain.
Design
The design of the hotel features a staggered facade, with stepped back rooms.
