The luxury hotel renovation of Le Meridien, New Delhi, was executed by Bobby Mukherrji Architects based on a unique client brief that mandated the integration of art and technology. The project immediately utilized new-age materials and advanced lighting techniques, establishing several innovations in high-end hospitality design for the former Starwood property. LED lighting technology saw liberal application across the public areas and individual guest rooms, a major feature for its time.

A central element of the design involved unique flooring. Common areas were lined with white glass imported from Japan, while the soaring atrium floor featured a large-scale glass mosaic design, establishing a memorable, iconic image visible from all levels. A significant art installation was created behind the reception: a 35-foot optic glass sculpture set against a massive 40-foot-high, back-lit alabaster panel. This four-and-a-half-ton piece, designed in-house and commissioned to Stephen Gormley, became a key focal point.

The Nero bar's all-black decor utilized luxury materials like black leather, black velvet, and smoked alabaster for the bar fascia, accented by chrome. Cutting-edge robotic technology was employed to shape the biomorphic columns highlighting the all-day dining area. Addressing varied clientele, the guest floors implemented alternating dark and light design concepts. Guests gained personalized control over their ambient room lighting via concealed LEDs, solidifying this property as the top-performing luxury hotel in Asia post-renovation.
