The Shalimar Hotel

The Shalimar Hotel is situated on August Kranti Marg in the 400036 zip code area. This part of the city is always moving, and we are right there in the thick of it every day. The building has been around for quite a long time, and you can tell by looking at the walls and the way the stairs feel under your feet. We don't try to hide that at all. It’s just part of the history of the place. Every morning starts with the sound of the world waking up outside on the Marg. We get the coffee going and start checking the rooms to see what needs doing. It’s a lot of routine work, but we don't really mind it. The staff here is like a small family; some of us have been working in these halls for decades. We’ve seen the streets change and the cars get newer, but the way we run the hotel stays pretty much the same. We focus on the basics like clean towels and making sure the fans and AC work when it’s hot outside. There are no fancy mission statements written on the walls here. We just show up and do our jobs. Sometimes the lobby gets a bit crowded with luggage, and other times it’s completely still. We just take it as it comes. August Kranti Marg is a well-known spot, so people usually don't have trouble finding our door.
