(Now, the stream-of-consciousness begins!)
First impressions? Ooof. Vogue Square screams luxury. Gleaming lobby, chandeliers you could probably get lost in, and staff who, bless their hearts, seem genuinely eager to please, sometimes maybe a little too eager. Let's get the basics out of the way first.
Accessibility: This is where Vogue Square actually shines. ♿️ I noticed ramps everywhere, and the elevator – thank goodness for elevators! – moved smoothly. They've got accessible rooms, and the staff seemed genuinely prepared to assist anyone needing it. Big thumbs up for that. Seriously. Accessibility is the first and biggest positive!
Rooms: (Available in all rooms, here we go!) Okay, my room. My room. Let's just say it was… impressive. (Air conditioning, alarm clock, bathrobes, bathroom phone, bathtub, blackout curtains, carpeting, closet, coffee/tea maker, complimentary tea, daily housekeeping, desk, extra long bed, free bottled water, hair dryer, high floor, in-room safe box, interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, ironing facilities, laptop workspace, linens, mini bar, mirror, non-smoking, on-demand movies, private bathroom, reading light, refrigerator, safety/security feature, satellite/cable channels, scale, seating area, separate shower/bathtub, shower, slippers, smoke detector, socket near the bed, sofa, soundproofing, telephone, toiletries, towels, umbrella, visual alarm, wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], window that opens) It's like they crammed every possible amenity into one space. The bed? Heavenly. The view? Decent, overlooking a… busy road, but still. The in-room safe? Necessary, I’m sure. The only downside? Everything felt a little… sterile. Like a showroom. A very comfortable, very luxurious showroom, but a showroom nonetheless. Honestly, the lack of character made me crave my own messy room which is a disaster.
Internet: (Internet, Internet [LAN], Internet services, Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!, Wi-Fi in public areas) The Wi-Fi was, thankfully, reliable. Essential. Especially when you are trying to work and constantly fighting with the kids. Good thing I didn't have to use the LAN, that feels outdated. No complaints here, unlike my home connection.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: (A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Bottle of water, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant) Okay, the food. This is where things get interesting, and where my internal debate waged war. They boast a dizzying array of options. Dizzying! You could get everything from a Western breakfast (good, solid, but nothing to write home about) to Asian cuisine (which seemed to vary in quality… sometimes a total win, other times… not so much). The buffet was HUGE. Honestly, overwhelming. Again, maybe a bit too much. The coffee shop was a lifesaver. And the poolside bar? Well, that's where I spent a significant amount of time, soaking up the sun and, let's be honest, the cocktails. The happy hour was decent, and the snack bar had some delicious, if slightly overpriced, options. One thing I really appreciated: the emphasis on vegetarian options. A definite plus. But here’s my big issue: the prices. Ouch. Prepare for your wallet to take a hit.
Spa & Relaxation: (Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]) Ah, the spa. This is where Vogue Square really tries to sell you on the experience. And, to be fair, they almost succeeded. The pool with a view was stunning. The sauna and steam room were, well, steamy. I opted for a massage, and it was… blissful. Exactly what I needed after a long day. The body scrub was also amazing, I was left feeling like a new person. The gym was well-equipped, but I confess, I mostly stuck to the pool. The whole spa area is designed for relaxation and, with the exception of the price tag, it delivers.
Fitness Center: I think the gym was alright, I think I walked past it, and it felt well-equipped. But I can't be sure as I was far more inclined to spend time at the poolside bar.
Cleanliness and Safety: (Anti-viral cleaning products, Breakfast in room, Breakfast takeaway service, Cashless payment service, Daily disinfection in common areas, Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit, Hand sanitizer, Hot water linen and laundry washing, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Shared stationery removed, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment) In a post-pandemic world, cleanliness is paramount. Vogue Square gets high marks here. Everything felt sparkling clean, with hand sanitizer readily available everywhere. I saw staff constantly disinfecting common areas, and there was even the option to opt-out of room sanitization (a nice touch of consideration). Everything was safe, and I felt safe at Vogue Square.
Services and Conveniences: (Air conditioning in public area, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Business facilities, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Essential condiments, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Indoor venue for special events, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Safety deposit boxes, Seminars, Shrine, Smoking area, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center) They’ve thought of everything. They have a concierge service, a convenience store, currency exchange… all the usual suspects. The staff are incredibly helpful, and the contactless check-in/out was a breeze.
For the Kids: (Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal) I don't have kids, but the hotel seemed geared towards families. They had babysitting services, and the kids' menu looked decent.
Getting Around: (Airport transfer, Bicycle parking, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, Valet parking) The car park was free (thank goodness!). They provide airport transfers and valet parking, all the usual things.
Things to Do/Ways to Relax: (This category merges many of the above, adding a few more "things to do". Also proposal spot and room decorations) Besides the spa and pool, the hotel also has a Terrace, and an indoor venue for special events. Room decorations are a special plus, especially for people who are getting proposals!
My Verdict?
Honestly? Vogue Square is… complicated. On one hand, it’s undeniably luxurious, with top-notch amenities and a dedicated staff. On the other, it feels a little… shallow. Like it’s all surface and not much substance. The prices are steep, and the atmosphere can feel a bit pretentious at times.
However, the excellent accessibility, reliable Wi-Fi, amazing spa, and comfortable rooms do redeem it somewhat.
Ultimately, would I recommend it? If you're looking for a luxurious escape near the India Expo Mart, and your budget allows, then yes, Vogue Square is worth considering. Just be prepared for the price tag and the potential for a little bit of that "trying too hard" vibe. But hey, sometimes you want a little bit of glitz and glamour, right? And sometimes,

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this itinerary isn't going to be your perfectly-pressed, Instagram-filtered travel guide. This is real. We're hitting The Vogue Square ★★★★★ near India Expo Mart, New Delhi, and NCR, and trust me, it's going to be a wild ride. Let's get messy!
Day 1: Arrival, Delusions of Grandeur, and Spicy Regret
9:00 AM: Arrive at Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL). Okay, airport chaos, check. But hey, at least the jet lag hasn't fully kicked in… yet. I'm thinking I'll look fab and be a sophisticated travel guru, you know? Reality check: I stumble out of the taxi, clutching a crumpled map, looking more "lost tourist" than "world-weary adventurer."
10:30 AM: Check in to The Vogue Square. Oh. My. God. This is nicer than my actual apartment. Marble everywhere! Soaking up the gorgeous design of the hotel. The bellboy's face lights up as I make my way up the stairs. Maybe my travel guru dream isn't so far-fetched, huh?
11:30 AM: Hotel exploration. I think I'll go explore the pool, the gym, and the bar.
1:00 PM: Finally, it's lunch! I'm so starving, my stomach is yelling at me. I'm gonna order something authentic, something spicy! I spot "Butter Chicken with Extra Chilies" on the menu. "Yes, please!" I practically shout at the waiter. Cut to: twenty minutes later, mouth on fire, tears streaming, and desperately reaching for the bread basket. Note to self: "Extra Chilies" in India might actually mean "Hellfire."
3:00 PM: Recovering from the chili-induced meltdown. I just lie on the bed for a while, trying not to move too much. Seriously, the ceiling fan is my new best friend.
5:00 PM: A quick stroll around the hotel (very slowly). A few pictures, mostly selfies.
7:00 PM: Dinner at the hotel's restaurant. I played it safe this time. Palak Paneer. Delicious. And a nice, cooling lassi to wash it all down, thank the sweet lord.
9:00 PM: Bedtime (maybe). Exhausted. Jet lag finally hit. Also, the mosquito situation in the room got a little… aggressive. I'm praying the mosquito repellent I brought actually works.
Day 2: Delhi Delights (and Dodging Traffic)
8:00 AM: "Morning person" my ass! I wake up feeling like I’ve been run over by a rickshaw. But there's a fantastic breakfast spread awaiting me. I eat like I haven't seen food in a week.
9:00 AM: I decide to visit some places. The plan is to visit India Gate.
10:00 AM: Trying to go here by taxi. Oh. My. God. The traffic! It's mental. The streets are a swirling vortex of cars, scooters, rickshaws, and cows (yes, cows!). My taxi driver, bless his soul, is weaving through it all like he's auditioning for a Bollywood action movie. I cling to my seat, praying they invented airbags for this kind of chaos.
11:30 AM: I reach India Gate. That thing is HUGE. I see a bunch of families having picnics. I stroll around the monument. It's beautiful. Makes me want to cry with patriotism.
12:30 PM: Lunch near India Gate. More food, more deliciousness.
2:00 PM: I walk to the Red Fort. Again, amazing. So much history. I spend way too much time just people-watching. The mix of clothing, languages, and smells is intoxicating.
4:00 PM: Back at the hotel, utterly knackered. I deserve a spa treatment, right? Right.
6:00 PM: Hotel spa. Oh, the bliss! A deep tissue massage that actually undoes a decade of tension. I may have almost drooled on the massage table. No regrets.
7:30 PM: Dinner. I find myself in the hotel's restaurant again. Maybe there's only one restaurant and I'm stupid. Anyway, I ate good again. I was happy.
9:00 PM: Collapsed in bed, happily. Tomorrow, I'll get a haircut and a mani-pedi. And maybe try some street food. (Pray for me.)
Day 3: Street Food, Sensory Overload, and Souvenir Shenanigans
9:00 AM: Decided to go for a haircut and a mani-pedi. Felt great.
11:00 AM: Street food adventure! Armed with a phrasebook and a slightly overconfident attitude, I dive right in. First stop: gol gappe (a crispy fried ball filled with flavored water and mashed potatoes). It's an explosion of flavor in my mouth! Second stop: chole bhature (chickpea curry with fried bread). I stuff my face like a hungry child.
1:00 PM: Regretting my bravery. My stomach makes some questionable noises. But hey, I lived to tell the tale! Most of the tale, at least.
2:00 PM: Souvenir shopping at Dilli Haat. This place is a maze of stalls bursting with colors, crafts, and tempting trinkets. I buy way too much stuff. By the time I'm done, I'm laden down with textiles, bangles, and something I think is a hand-carved wooden elephant (fingers crossed it fits in my suitcase).
4:00 PM: My legs hurt. So I head to the hotel for a swim.
6:30 PM: A quiet dinner at a nice Italian restaurant.
8:00 PM: Packed my bags.
Day 4: Farewell (For Now!)
9:00 AM: One last delicious breakfast.
10:00 AM: Checked out.
11:00 AM: More farewells.
1:00 PM: Head to the airport.
2:00 PM: On the plane.
This, my friends, is the real travel experience. It's messy, it's unpredictable, and sometimes, it involves projectile vomiting and a desperate search for air conditioning. But it's also beautiful, hilarious, and utterly unforgettable. So, go forth, explore, and embrace the chaos! You'll have a story to tell, I guarantee it. And remember, the only way to truly experience a place is to get a little lost, get a little sweaty, and get a little real. Now go forth and conquer!

Vogue Square: Delhi's Hottest Mess (and I Mean *HOT*!) - FAQs You Actually Need
(Because let's be real, the official FAQs are likely BORING.)
Okay, spill. Is Vogue Square really *that* good? Like, worth the Delhi traffic nightmare?
Ugh, the traffic. Let's get that out of the way first. It's Delhi. You're going to sit. Accept it. But yeah, Vogue Square... it's a *vibe*. Listen, I went last weekend, expecting this perfectly curated, sterile, Instagram-ready experience. And it... wasn't. Thank god! It actually felt *alive*. I saw this woman stumbling – bless her – clutching a Prada bag (probably fake, but who am I to judge?) and a tiny chihuahua, dodging a rogue samosa seller! That's Delhi, baby! Is it worth the traffic? Honestly? Depends. Are you looking for escapism? Yes. Are you looking for a perfect afternoon? Probably not. There's always a chance someone will spill chai on your white linen, trust me. But that's part of the fun, right? Makes for a better story.
What kind of shops are actually *in* Vogue Square? Is it all just ridiculously expensive stuff I can't afford?
Okay, let's be real. Yes, there's *some* ridiculously expensive stuff. Think a store that sells only diamond-encrusted dog leashes. I swear I saw one. I almost choked on my overpriced cappuccino. But there's a good mix. You've got your international brands, your Indian designers, some pop-ups. I actually found a really cool independent boutique with handwoven scarves and gorgeous bags. Priced, you know, for actual humans. And there's a Zara! Bless Zara! So, yeah, bring your wallet. But don't assume you'll need to remortgage your house. Although... the food court... be careful there. More on that later...
The food! Tell me about the food! Is it any good? And more importantly, is it DIFFERENT?!
Alright, the *food*. This is where things get... interesting. Okay, you have *options*. So many options. Italian, sushi, gourmet burgers overflowing with truffle something-or-other. You probably can't eat it all in one day. But is it good? Some of it, yes. Some of it... well, let's just say I'm still trying to scrub the aftertaste of one particular "deconstructed paella" from my soul. The presentation was *stunning*, the taste... less so. And the prices? Oh god, the prices! It’s like they're trying to make you feel guilty for enjoying lunch. BUT! I did have this amazing little momo place that was INSANE! The best momos I've ever had, and they were like, reasonably priced. So, the takeaway? Do your research. Read reviews. Maybe bring a backup snack in case the "fusion" cuisine goes sideways.
Is there a decent coffee shop? Because let's be real, a day of shopping requires caffeine.
YES. Thank God. You can't survive Delhi without caffeine. There seemss to be a bunch as well, like, everywhere. I saw a Starbucks – you know, reliable, but sometimes a bit… bland. There was a trendy artisanal coffee shop, but the line was out the door and I had a serious case of FOMO (fear of missing out) on the designer stores. And another smaller place. It feels like there are a million spots to get your coffee fix. Which is a blessing, really, because that caffeine rush is essential for navigating the crowds and deciding whether that sequined handbag is *really* necessary. So yes, coffee's covered.
Is it kid-friendly? I have small humans who require snacks, meltdowns, and frequent bathroom breaks.
Hmm. Kid-friendly... that's a loaded question. There were definitely kids there. Lots of them. And honestly, I saw a few meltdowns. The bathrooms are... well, it's a new mall, so they're reasonably clean (for now). Snacks? Plenty of options, but as I mentioned, the food courts can be pricey. There's also a play area. I didn't spend too much time there. It looked a little chaotic, to be honest, but maybe that's just me, I'm never a fan of those indoor spaces. Would I take *my* kid? Mmm, probably not, at least not on a weekend. But if you have a well-behaved, eternally patient small human? Go for it. Otherwise, prepare for chaos. And maybe a stiff drink afterwards. You deserve it.
What about parking? Because in Delhi, that's always a nightmare.
Okay, parking. Deep breaths. They clearly have ample underground parking. And it's… well, it's better than street parking. But it can be crowded. Be prepared to circle for a bit. I did, and I ended up in this ridiculous situation where I was basically playing musical chairs with a BMW. I won. But it took a while. The good news? They have valet. Consider it. Seriously. Save yourself the stress and the petrol fumes. Or, better yet, take an Uber. Traffic's going to be bad either way, at least you can sip on a chai and watch everyone else struggle.
Anything else I should know before braving Vogue Square? Any insider tips?
Okay, here's the tea. My insider tips, if you can call them that: * **Go early (ish).** Avoid the full-on weekend crowds. * **BYO water bottle.** Stay hydrated, especially when you're surrounded by temptation. * **Wear comfortable shoes.** You'll be doing a lot of walking (and possibly running away from price tags). * **Don't be afraid to haggle (some places may be open to it?).** You're in Delhi, after all. * **Embrace the chaos.** It's part of the experience. * **Check the bathrooms often.** Seriously, trust me. * **Most importantly: Go with an open mind and a sense of humor.** Because you're going to need it. And if you see a woman with a slightly bewildered expression clutching a Zara bag and a half-eaten samosa, that might be me. Say hi!
Okay, quick! Rate it out of 5 stars, keeping in mind Delhi standards.
