 No hotel symbolizes the traditional grandeur of the historic capital of India more than The Ashok. Strategically located in a prime location in Delhi 's Diplomatic Enclave, the Ashok with its rose-pink walls is a distinctive landmark. The hotel, with its state-of-the-art amenities, has hosted some of India's most memorable national and international conventions, conferences and congresses.

The area is incredibly beautiful with wide avenues characteristic of Lutyen’s Delhi and the sprawling Nehru Park just opposite. This Park stretching over 75 acres of land has beautifully manicured lawns landscaped with rocks, monkey bridge, jogging and walking tracks, fountains, water channel, a swimming pool, a baoli and Nehru’s quotes inscribed on rocks.
