Saket is the South Delhi district people know for Select Citywalk and the other malls at its District Centre, with quiet residential blocks spread out behind them. It gives us two kinds of booking: hotel rooms at the District Centre and family flats in the lettered blocks. Tell us which one you are in when you call.
Saket splits into two parts that feel like different places. On Press Enclave Road sits the District Centre, with Select Citywalk, DLF Avenue and the MGF Metropolitan side by side, and restaurants that stay busy until around midnight. Max Hospital is on the same road, a few minutes away. Behind all this are the residential blocks, lettered from A to M, mostly DDA flats and builder floors where families have lived for decades. The older Saket Community Centre, with PVR Anupam and a row of bars, sits on the far side of the blocks.
Saket and Malviya Nagar stations on the Yellow Line are both about two kilometres from the malls, so a girl who comes by metro takes an auto for the last part. By road, the drive from our Naraina side is about forty-five minutes in the evening, down the Ring Road and Aurobindo Marg, and nearer thirty minutes late at night. On weekend evenings the mall traffic on Press Enclave Road adds another ten minutes, and we plan for that when we give you a time.
The hotel side is small. The Sheraton at District Centre and the Svelte suites beside Select Citywalk are the two we are asked about most, and both have a guard at the gate and a proper front desk. There she walks in as your dinner guest, so it helps if you come down and meet her near the lift. The evening crowd at the entrance works in your favour, since one more well dressed woman walking in draws no attention.
The flats need a different plan. Most blocks in Saket have a gate with a guard who notes the name of each visitor. Tell him you are expecting a guest, or walk down to the gate yourself, and the visit starts without a call up to your door. Weekday bookings come after 9 PM, and on weekends later, once the malls close. Rates are on our price page. If you are north towards IIT, Hauz Khas is two stops up the Yellow Line and has its own page.
