Atravelq Featured in Moneycontrol: Delhi's Luxury Hotels and the BRICS Summit Boom

Atravelq has been quoted in Moneycontrol's report BRICS boom: Luxury hotels sold out, suites touch Rs 5 lakh in Delhi, which looks at the extraordinary demand for premium accommodation in the capital around the 18th BRICS Summit.

The story

Heads of state, diplomats and business delegations converged on Delhi for the summit on September 12 and 13, and the hospitality sector across Delhi-NCR saw an unprecedented spike in room rates alongside a severe crunch in availability. Marquee properties such as the Taj Mahal, Taj Palace, The Oberoi and The Leela Palace showed no availability for key dates, while rooms still open elsewhere were commanding six-figure nightly tariffs.

Our take

Event-led demand of this scale shows how quickly a city's travel landscape can change. For travellers, it's a reminder that timing and planning matter: booking early, looking at well-connected neighbourhoods beyond the summit zone, and having a partner who can move fast when inventory tightens. That's exactly where Atravelq steps in, whether it's a business trip that coincides with a major event or a leisure stay you'd rather not overpay for.
