Thikana is a boutique bed & breakfast tucked away in the quiet, gated colony of Gulmohar Park in South Delhi. The word Thikana in Hindi means “a place where you belong,” and we aim to offer just that — a warm, elegant space that blends comfort, character and the warmth of Indian hospitality. Each room is thoughtfully designed with vibrant art, soft lighting, and handcrafted décor to create an atmosphere of both space and intimacy. Common areas feature curated collections of Indian textiles, paintings, scrolls, and handmade glasswork, echoing our love for India’s rich design heritage. After a day of exploring the close by historical and cultural gems—like Khan Market, Lodi Gardens, or Hauz Khas Village—return to the aromas of a home-cooked Indian meal or unwind on our rooftop terrace. At Thikana, you’re not just visiting — you’re coming home.
