Oberoi New Delhi reopened

The Oberoi Group announced the reopening of its flagship property in the capital - The Oberoi, New Delhi - after keeping it closed for renovation since April 1, 2016. A multi-million dollar transformation of the 220-room hotel was directed by designer Adam D Tihany, who took Edward Lutyens' modernist vision as his inspiration, Oberoi Group said in a statement. The renovation was expected to take two years but was completed three months ahead of schedule, it added. Oberoi Group Executive Chairman P R S Oberoi termed it a significant moment for the Group. "When my late father Rai Bahadur M S Oberoi opened the hotel in the autumn of 1965, he wished it to be the most modern luxury hotel. I am confident that The Oberoi, New Delhi will continue this tradition," he said.
