A SPANISH FIESTA

Sevilla at The Claridges, New Delhi, returns with a passionate flourish that is lock-step with the zest and energy of the famed flamenco.

Delhi's inhospitable climes, for a sizable chunk of the year, often make it a poor choice for al fresco dining. However, come February and the weather gods relent; blistering cold offers the right of way to balmy days and crisp nights that are perfectly becoming for outdoor dining. So while the recently relaunched, and transformed, Sevilla retains the cocooned elegance of its romantic standalone pavilions, it promises a raft of new features as well. The sprawling restaurant, which stands apart from the main hotel building, offers cosy indoor and outdoor seating. Whether you're meeting old friends or forging a new dalliance, Sevilla is idyllic for both raucous occasions and restrained rendezvous.
