“The Umrao” is a Boutique hotel located in Delhi on NH-8 in close proximity to the IGI International Airport, designed to cater to the discerning business traveller. Sitting regally yet lightly on 10-acre manicured greens, the boutique hotel is a brand to reckon with.
Standing testimony to time, the architectural character adopted by Studio KIA is in sync with its name yet contemporary in its offerings. The word UMRAO denotes the life and luxury of kings and “The Umrao” successfully captures the monumental scale and luxury of the past in a modernistic set up.
Transforming modern geometry into an exotic creation, ”The Umrao” makes for one of the most uniquely designed boutique hotels Delhi has ever seen. Minimalist, straight line character, purity of form and subtle colors gives this Boutique hotel a unique charm.
“The idea was to establish a hotel that combines the exclusivity expected by the guests in regards to luxury which is visually pleasing and functionally upscale”, says Ar. Sabeena.
Studio KIA pays tribute to the resplendence of India’s culture with a project like “The Umrao” in the contrasting urban fabric of New Delhi.
