The stay was part of a trip with my three children age 18-24. The hotel has quite recently gone through a major renovation and feels like new. It was an amazing hotel with attention to details in many ways. I had my laptop open by the desk and they have put a screen cleaner next to it when I got back to the room. The room was cleaned spotless everyday. Love Indian food but the highlight was the Chinese restaurant Baoshuan. One of our best dining experience through our 8 days in India. The pool area was like an oasis, but lot of insects, but that is nature. I missed a decent SPA area With hot whirlpool etc. but the massage was great. Overall a true 5 star hotel. At least as good as any Four Season, but maybe with a bit more personal touch. Stayed at the Lodhi as well. Our family of four was split half half when amsing which hotel was the best. Lodhi wasn’t as new, but they were more personal. Remembered our names everywhere. When coming to the breakfast, remembered what we had ordered the last morning and eg knew what kind of coffee we wanted, etc. The rooms were bigger at Lodhi but Oberoi had an amazing view, especially if you get a room not on on the lower level. Pool area was nicer in Lodhi. Less insects.
Overall, I would have picked Oberoi while two of my children The Lodhi.
