The Metropolitan, New Delhi

The Metropolitan, New Delhi is actually located over in Shahdara, at 1/1572 in the Manasarover Park area. It’s a very busy part of Delhi, and our building is right in the thick of it. We’ve been here for a while, and the neighborhood knows us well. We offer a place for people to stay or hold small events, and it’s mostly a local crowd that comes through our doors. The street outside is always full of traffic and people heading to the park, so there's never a dull moment. Inside, we try to keep things as tidy as possible, though the building is older and always seems to need some kind of repair. Whether it’s a lightbulb that’s gone out or a door that squeaks, we’re usually running around with a toolkit. Our staff is mostly from the local area, and we don’t have a big corporate office telling us what to do. We just figure things out as we go. We don’t use any fancy marketing slogans or have a polished image. It’s just a practical place for people who need a room in this part of the city. We spend our days answering the phone, cleaning the floors, and making sure the guests are doing okay. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy from the morning until late at night. We just try to keep the place running smoothly for everyone.
