Where to stay in Vasant Kunj
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Vasant Kunj spreads across broad residential blocks in New Delhi, so where you base yourself turns on whether you want the malls or the quieter Aravalli fringe. In Vasant Kunj it comes down to one call. Beds near the circular glass shopping complex keep the retail arcades, cinemas, and eateries within an easy walk, while a stay toward the ONGC Rajiv Gandhi Urja Bhavan places you among the wide office avenues on the district's commercial side.
Rooms out toward the Aravalli ridge trade that traffic for green quiet along the forest belt that frames the whole quarter. Pick your side first.

About Vasant Kunj
What are the main landmarks in Vasant Kunj?
The circular glass shopping complex gives Vasant Kunj its landmark. Its ringed mall block draws most of the district's footfall, and the retail arcades set the tone for the surrounding residential streets. Offices anchor the commercial edge.
The ONGC Rajiv Gandhi Urja Bhavan rises among the high buildings on the district's business side, while the AICTE Head Office holds a campus of its own nearby, and the Aravalli forest belt closes the western rim so that the quarter reads as a mall-and-office district set against a wooded ridge.
What is the history of Vasant Kunj?
Vasant Kunj was laid out as a planned residential colony on the wooded southern rim of New Delhi. The blocks went up on ground that ran against the Aravalli ridge, so the district kept a green forest edge even as the housing filled the flatter plots and the road grid took shape across the quarter. Retail followed the homes.
A circular glass shopping complex grew into the commercial core, drawing malls and cinemas, and office towers such as the ONGC Rajiv Gandhi Urja Bhavan later joined the AICTE Head Office to give the colony a working commercial side beside its flats.
Where is Vasant Kunj?
Vasant Kunj sits on the wooded southern rim of New Delhi, a subtropical plain district where the residential blocks and the circular glass mall complex run up against the forest belt of the Aravalli ridge.
