Where do filmmakers, painters, musicians, and curators stay when in India’s capital city? Only open since 2012, The Rose has become the hot spot among the international creative set. Owned by French hotelier Pio Coffrant, the establishment is situated in the trendy urban village of Haus Khas and lives up to its name: it overlooks a peaceful rose garden and is surrounded by parkland. Coffrant offers his guests 12 spacious and well-appointed rooms, a cafe, boutique, and living room-like lobby that doubles as the in-house gallery. People come for short and long-term stays–and those who linger sometimes become artists in residence.
