Five-star hotels in the national capital are witnessing an unprecedented surge in room tariffs as thousands of delegates are set to descend on New Delhi for the India AI Impact Summit 2026, scheduled from February 16-20.

Hotel websites and travel portals show that standard rooms at premier five-star hotels in the city, which usually fall in the Rs 20,000 to Rs 40,000 per night range, have now been listed at rates approaching lakhs and in some categories exceeding Rs 4 lakh to Rs 5 lakh per night for peak summit dates.
