The Property — The Pride Plaza
The Pride Plaza is a no-nonsense business hotel near the Golf Course Road exit of NH-8. The lobby is all polished granite and chrome, with a hushed, corporate atmosphere and staff at the front desk who handle check-ins briskly. The USP is location: a 10-minute drive from Cyber City and a 5-minute walk from the Vatika Chowk metro station, making it a solid base for business travellers or anyone who needs to be near Gurugram’s office belt. It is not a resort or a holiday hotel — expect a clean, functional room, a small pool, and a multi-cuisine restaurant that does a decent buffet.
Chronicles of Gurugram
Gurugram, originally a small village known as Gurugram in the Mughal era, was renamed Gurgaon by the British in the 19th century. Its transformation began in the 1970s when the Delhi Development Authority started developing it as a counter-magnet to Delhi, and accelerated after the 1990s economic liberalisation. The city became India’s back-office and later a major IT hub, with skyscrapers rising from former farmland. Architecturally, it is a chaotic mix of glass-clad corporate towers and unplanned residential colonies. Today, Gurugram is a centre for finance, tech, and multinational HQs, with a transient population and a notoriously traffic-heavy road network.
Best Time to Visit
Full Gurugram guide →Best months
October to March — winter gives clear, sunny days and cool evenings, ideal for outdoor meetings or site visits. Crowds are moderate because the city is never particularly touristy.
Peak / festival surge
December, when the Aravalli Range blocks cold winds, so daytime remains pleasant. Corporate travel peaks, and hotel prices can rise 15–20% from the baseline. The Delhi half-marathon and Art Fair in late February also bring extra visitors.
Budget shoulder season
April and September — in April the heat builds but is manageable with air conditioning, and rates drop as business travel dips. September sees retreating monsoon with fewer storms and discounted rooms.
Weather & packing
Mid-July is the peak of the monsoon in Gurugram, with heavy downpours and 30–35°C humid heat. Pack an umbrella or a light waterproof jacket and quick-dry shoes; avoid leather footwear.
Live City Briefing — Gurugram
- The Delhi-Gurugram e-way widening project has caused intermittent lane closures near the Kherki Daula toll plaza; expect 15–20 minute delays during peak hours.
- Gurugram Metro’s Rapid Metro line now runs a feeder shuttle from Sikanderpur to Cyber City every 10 minutes, reducing travel time to the corporate hubs.
- July 2026 is forecast to have above-average rainfall — the Municipal Corporation has already placed dewatering pumps in low-lying areas like Sector 29 and MG Road.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to The Pride Plaza, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on floors 4-6, facing the interior courtyard (away from the main road). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but low enough for quick lift access if the lift queue builds up. The courtyard side gets less traffic hum from NH-48.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 2 (directly above the banquet hall – weekend wedding sound travels up) and any room facing the main road (Golf Course Road extension side). Also skip rooms near the lift lobby on any floor – the lift motor and guest chatter carry.
Best views
The best view is from high floor (7 or 8) courtyard-facing rooms – you see the hotel pool and a slice of Gurugram skyline. Road-facing rooms show the perpetual jam on Golf Course Road and a dusty construction site, not worth it.
Quietest floors
Floors 4-7 are the quietest. They sit above the lobby/banquet noise and below any rooftop restaurant or open terrace (if present). The concrete construction of this 3-star property damps sound better in this mid-range.
🔊 Noise notes
Main noise sources: Golf Course Road traffic (especially 7-10am and 5-9pm), the banquet hall (loud music on weekends until 11pm), and the ground-floor restaurant (clattering plates and chatter from 7am-11pm). Lift lobby gets busy during check-in/check-out hours (11am-1pm).
Insider tips
1) Use the rear entrance (near the pool) to avoid the busy lobby – it’s faster for returning after a day out. 2) Ask for a room on floor 6 or 7, courtyard side, and request a ‘late checkout’ at check-in – they often extend to 2pm for loyalty guests at this 3-star.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
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.
