Chronicles of Gurugram
Gurugram, formerly known as Gurgaon, was founded in 1691 as a small village called 'Gurugram' or 'Gurujargram' by the Jat ruler, Fateh Singh Sankhwal. The city's modern growth began with the establishment of the DLF (Delhi Land & Finance) in 1942, which transformed it into a major industrial and commercial centre. Gurugram's skyline is a mix of colonial-era buildings and modern skyscrapers, reflecting its rapid urbanisation. As the 'Millennium City', Gurugram has become a hub for start-ups, IT companies, and luxury apartments. Today, the city is known for its eclectic blend of traditional and modern Haryana culture.

Gurugram Railway Station (Gurgaon) → Lemon Tree Hotel
💡 Negotiate before you sit. ₹100 for a private auto is fair – they’ll start at ₹200. For shared auto (₹20 per head), walk to the main road near the station.
IFFCO Chowk Metro Station Bus Stop → Lemon Tree Hotel (near Sikanderpur)
💡 Ask the conductor to drop you at ‘Sikanderpur Mor’. The bus stops 50m from the hotel entrance – easier than the crowded metro station walk.
Sikanderpur Rapid Metro Station (Yellow Line interchange) → DLF Phase 2 Rapid Metro Station (nearest to Lemon Tree)
💡 The hotel is 800m walk from DLF Phase 2 station – but the path is unlit after dark. Use the rickshaw waiting outside (₹30) instead. Buy a token; don’t bother with a smart card for one ride.
Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) → Lemon Tree Hotel, Gurugram (DLF Phase 2)
💡 Book UberGO or Ola Micro from airport arrivals. Avoid prepaid taxi counters – they charge double. For early morning flights, pre-schedule a ride at midnight to lock in base fare.
