Over 3,000 hotel rooms have been booked across Delhi for BRICS Summit delegates and global officials, pushing tariffs at some luxury properties beyond ₹2 lakh a night.
New Delhi’s luxury hotels have taken on a new role ahead of the 18th BRICS Leaders’ Summit at Bharat Mandapam, with more than 3,000 rooms booked across several prominent properties in the capital.
The hotels are accommodating foreign delegations, outreach countries and senior officials from major multilateral institutions. The arrangements have effectively turned several luxury properties into high security diplomatic hubs for the September 12 and 13 gathering.
