A bold new bar has opened in Delhi’s Lodhi Colony — The Love Hotel — and it’s bringing a whole new vibe to the city. Inspired by Japan’s famous “love hotels,” this spot is all about intimate, moody, and playful experiences. And yes, it’s for adults only!
What’s the Buzz?
AD Singh of Olive Group, along with Saumya Gupta and Shiva Kant Vyas from The Open Art Project, have created a tiny, sexy cocktail room inside the well-known Japanese restaurant Guppy. It’s cozy — just 20 seats — with deep red walls, soft lighting, and cheeky coasters with fun games. There’s no bar counter between you and the bartender — it’s all open and personal.
The Food
Chef Saurabh Sharan has crafted a 12-dish menu that’s perfect for sharing. Highlights include:
-
Crunchy Summer Wraps (chicken or veg)
-
Melt-in-your-mouth Pork Ribs
-
Brie & Bhavnagri Chilli Tempura

Tuna-Watermelon Salad

Each dish is designed to pair well with cocktails and keep the vibe light and fun.
