New Ways of Analyzing Language Variation and Change: Asia-Pacific Branch February 23-26, 2011

Accommodation Options in Delhi

There are currently few lodging options available close to the University other than Oberoi Maidens Hotel and the University Guest Houses. Opting to stay farther could be time consuming and costly in terms of transportation. (Click on the links below for details of each accommodation option.)

  1. We have blocked 25 rooms in Hotel Oberoi Maidens which is most conveniently located at a five minutes drive from the university. (We may be able to provide free transport to and from Oberoi). Though there are many other Hotels in the city, travelling could easily take 40 minutes to an hour during the morning peak hours and especially during the evening hours.
  2. We have also booked several rooms at the two University Guest Houses. The Guest Houses are located right on the University Campus and within close walking distance to the Conference Venue. The Guest Houses offer simple and affordable housing.
  3. Alternative Accommodation: Hotel Lalit, Connaught Place. About 30 minutes drive from the University.

Note: currency: 1 USD is = approximately 45 INR. (Divide by 45 for approximate cost in USD.)

We would strongly recommend staying close to the University.
