POLO LOUNGE
NEW DELHI
From Feature Desk
Nestled within the grandeur of the Hyatt
Regency, New Delhi, the Polo Lounge is a refined
retreat for discerning patrons who appreciate the
finer things in life. Located on the lobby level of
this five-star luxury hotel, Polo Lounge is far more
than just a bar; it is a celebration of sophisticated
leisure and one of Delhi’s most distinguished
drinking destinations.
Polo Lounge captures the spirit of English
colonial heritage, blending it seamlessly with a
warm and informal ambience. The rich
woodwork, framed polo-themed artefacts, a
welcoming fireplace, and a cosy library-style
décor transport guests to an era of gracious
living. It’s the perfect spot to unwind after a hectic
day or to host a relaxed evening with friends and
colleagues. Whether a guest wishes to enjoy an
intimate conversation by the fire or simply soak in
the sophisticated atmosphere, Polo Lounge sets
the tone with its old-world charm, making it a unique destination in the heart of India’s bustling
capital.
The highlight of Polo Lounge is undeniably its
extraordinary beverage selection – one of the
widest in Delhi. Connoisseurs are delighted to
explore its extensive and thoughtfully curated
menu, featuring the rarest and finest whiskies,
martinis, champagnes, wines, and a wide
selection of cocktail mixes. Polo Lounge has
developed a cult following for its impressive
collection of vintage single malts, with aged
treasures dating back as far as 1961. Guests can
find legends like Glenfiddich Vintage 1961,
Glenfiddich 40-year-old, and Glenfarclas
46-year-old, each telling its own story of
craftsmanship and tradition.
For those who favour cognac, Polo Lounge
proudly presents the prestigious Rémy Martin
Louis XIII, a legendary expression of luxury. The
bar also showcases a refined collection of
bourbons, Irish and Japanese whiskies, vintage
champagnes, and a carefully chosen range of
upmarket spirits and liqueurs. Add to that an
exciting menu of contemporary cocktails starting
at ₹500 plus taxes, and one has a beverage
programme that rivals any international lounge
bar.
It comes as no surprise that Polo Lounge has been consistently recognised for its excellence. In
2012, it was named one of the three ‘Highly
Recommended Bars in India’ at the prestigious
Whisky Awards, a testament to its quality, service,
and unparalleled selection.
Beyond its drinks, the mood of Polo Lounge is
what truly sets it apart. There is a subtle,
sophisticated energy in the air – relaxed yet
refined – making it equally suited for business
meetings, post-work wind-downs, or celebratory
evenings. The casual dress code makes it
accessible, while the surroundings provide an
upscale experience. Guests can enjoy warm and
attentive service, adding to the overall sense of
effortless luxury.
The Polo Lounge is open from 11:00 am to 1:00
am, offering ample opportunity to sample its
legendary drinks menu. The bar is equally inviting
during the day, with soft light accentuating its
classic interiors, as it is by night when a gentle
buzz and the glow of the fireplace transform it
into a stylish retreat. Whether guests arrive for a
midday conversation or a late-night dram, they
will find the perfect setting to linger and indulge.
For those visiting Delhi, Polo Lounge is an
essential stop – a place where history, luxury, and
craftsmanship come together in an atmosphere
that is both welcoming and exclusive. Its English
colonial aesthetic, complete with framed polo
images and curated décor pieces, delivers a
