The 265-room hotel is located in close proximity to Delhi's domestic and international airports. With Gurgaon and South Delhi located a few kilometres away, it is an ideal destination for business, leisure and transit travellers and the hotel is well connected via a national highway and the Airport Metro, providing convenient and quick access to Connaught Place and other important commercial, business and residential areas of New Delhi. Popular tourist attractions, such as the Kingdom of Dreams, Jantar Mantar, Qutub Minar, Red Fort and India Gate, amongst others, are all easily accessible from the hotel.

The hotel offers guests large, comfortable rooms with 37-inch LED TVs, iPod docking stations, media hubs and complimentary or all guests staying at the hotel. There is over 8000 square feet of function space available, including four meeting rooms and the Grand Ballroom, which also can be divided into three smaller function rooms. For health enthusiasts, the hotel has a fitness center, with steam and sauna facilities, and an outdoor swimming pool. The hotel's Sohum Spa offers guests four therapy rooms.

Holiday Inn New Delhi International Airport offers four different food and beverage experiences: Viva, the all-day dining restaurant; Viva Deli, for quick bites; The Hangar, a lounge bar; and a specialty restaurant (opening later in the year). Retail outlets also will be located in the hotel.

Commenting on the opening of the hotel, Pascal Gauvin, Chief Operating Officer, India, Middle East and Africa, IHG said: "We have a long heritage in India, with almost 50 years' experience in the country and, throughout our time, we've adapted and evolved to meet the rapidly changing market. In the coming years, our Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express hotels will drive much of our growth in the country and we're excited about what the future holds for the two brands. We opened five hotels here in 2013 and this is our first opening of 2014, setting a great base for the year."
