Kitty Su, at The Lalit in Connaught Place, remains the best-known nightclub in New Delhi in 2026, with Privee and The Hong Kong Club close behind. This ranking covers ten hotel clubs and lounges in the capital, rebuilt in October 2026 because several venues on the 2010s list could not be confirmed as still operating.

Costs are approximate figures from current listings, and hours and entry rules change. Confirm both with the venue before you go.
1. Kitty Su
The Lalit, Barakhamba Road, Connaught Place.
Kitty Su opened in 2011 and is the name Delhi clubbers know first. The Lalit group says it was the only Indian club on the DJ Mag Top 100 Clubs list, and it picked up a Best Night Club in Delhi award from the Times Food and Nightlife Awards. Its fixtures include a champagne mezzanine, a tattoo parlour and a mini club called The Salon. Heads up: its official site now lists a Delhi pop-up at the hotel’s 24/7 Bar, with a queer, drag-led format, so check what is on before you go.
2. Privee
Shangri-La Eros Hotel, Ashoka Road, Connaught Place.
A big hotel club of roughly 10,000 square feet, with VIP areas, LED graphics and DJ events. The music rotates between hip hop, Bollywood and house. Weekends can mean guest lists for stag groups, so go as a mixed group or put your name down early.
3. The Hong Kong Club
Andaz Delhi, Aerocity.
A multilevel venue that is part restaurant, part bar, part club, with Cantonese food and DJs. Listings put its hours at 6 PM to 4 AM, which makes it a dinner-then-dance plan under a single roof near the airport.
4. Toy Room
Aloft Hotel, Aerocity.
Hip hop, Bollywood and EDM for up to 400 guests, with toy-themed staff. It runs Fridays and Saturdays only, from 10:30 PM to 4 AM per current listings, so there is no point turning up on a Tuesday.
5. Lithium
The Ashok, Diplomatic Enclave.
A premium club with three sections, a stage and a marble lobby. Listings show it open 24 hours, which is unusual in a city where most clubs shut around 1 AM, so confirm the hours with the hotel.
6. RSVP
Royal Plaza Hotel, Connaught Place.
Live music and DJs, Bollywood-linked events, and separate group areas that suit big birthday tables. Closed Mondays, open from about 9:15 PM.
7. Diablo
Mehrauli.
Bollywood, EDM and commercial hits in the south of the city. Stag entry is listed as higher than couples entry and often redeemable against drinks, so ask at the door.
8. Keya
DLF Promenade, Vasant Kunj.
The mall-based Keya is a lounge-plus-dance-floor with DJs, and it has been a Delhi name for years. Treat it as a lighter option than the hotel clubs above.
9. The Electric Room
The Lodhi Hotel.
Live bands and gigs, red furniture, and an LED-veiled private section. It opens late, around midnight, and listings show it closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
10. The Blue Bar
Taj Palace, Diplomatic Enclave.
The only pure bar on our list, kept from the original Alux ranking. Upscale, red-on-black decor and exotic cocktails. Go here before a club, not instead of one.
Venues we dropped from the old list
The earlier version of this ranking included Ikko, Quantum, Club Pangaea, The Blue Frog, Shroom, Kylin Sky Bar and Shiro, with awards dating from 2014. We could not confirm that these are operating today as nightclubs, so we removed them rather than send you to a closed door. The Playboy Club at Hotel Samrat, which opened in 2017, is another name that shows up in listings, but one listing marks it as permanently closed while others still describe it as open. Ask before you travel.
