Delhi, which is called the heart of India, is considered to be an amazing tourist spot. The city has many monuments, some amazing shopping complexes and a few botanical gardens. It is also famous for some luxury hotels which are known for their hospitality. The Delhi Palace, which is situated on the right bank of the Yamuna river, is one such hotel. Mr Mehta, who built this hotel forty years back, attributes its success to his staff that is highly dedicated and efficient and to his son, who is an epitome of professionalism. His son, whose reputation for being an excellent manager is widespread, looks after the hotel arrangements himself now. The guests whom he treats like his family members, speak volumes of his hospitality. Amit Ghosh, who once stayed in this hotel, calls it the next best place to home. The river that flows by the hotel carries in itself numerous flowers whose fragrance floats in the air the whole day.
