Tyde The Park New Delhi Opens In Connaught Place

NEW DELHI, May 29, 2026: THE Park New Delhi has launched Tyde, a new all-day dining destination on the property's ground floor in the heart of Connaught Place. Conceived around the elemental poetry of water and the geometric heritage of Jantar Mantar, Tyde moves from morning coffee and business lunches through to cocktail evenings, à la carte dinners and after-dark gatherings, a format designed to serve as many reasons to visit as there are hours in the day to find one.

THE Park New Delhi has always treated its restaurants as part of its cultural identity rather than as hotel amenities. Tyde continues that philosophy with a space that is as much about the art on the walls and the sculptural works at its centre as it is about the food on the plate. The result is a dining room that has something to say, which, in a city as competitive and visually saturated as Delhi's current F&B landscape, is a meaningful distinction.

Tyde THE Park New Delhi Opens as Art and All-Day Dining Converge at Connaught Place

The interior language at Tyde draws from two specifically Indian reference points. The geometry of Jantar Mantar, the 18th-century astronomical observatory in Connaught Place, steps from the hotel, provides the structural inspiration: angular, precise and unexpectedly poetic when translated into contemporary design. Deep indigo tones, warm brass details, layered textures and sculptural forms carry that language into the room without replicating the monument literally. The result is atmospheric rather than referential, which is the harder thing to achieve.

Water runs through the design concept as a metaphor for movement, reflection and transformation, qualities that map directly onto an all-day venue that is meant to feel different at 8 AM over coffee than it does at 10 PM over cocktails. Getting that range of register right in a single room requires design that can hold mood without being locked into one of them.

Dar Badar, A Sculptural Installation by Mohd. Intiyaz at the Restaurant's Centre

The visual anchor of Tyde is Dar Badar, a sculptural installation by artist Mohd. Intiyaz is positioned at the centre of the restaurant. Crafted in brass and rhythmic forms, the work introduces a deliberate visual energy into the dining space, something that moves the eye and holds it in a way that a painting on a wall cannot. The title Dar Badar, meaning wandering or drifting, reflects the same fluidity that runs through the restaurant's wider design identity.

Complementing the central installation are textile works by Hansika Sharma, Within the Ocean and Fragments of Ocean. These are not decorative panels. They are layered compositions in embroidery, zari, beads, mirrors and metallic details that take the ocean as their subject and render it in textile form with enough depth and complexity that they reward sustained attention. Both works bring the water theme from the conceptual level of the design brief into something tactile and present in the room.

Priya Paul on What Tyde Is Meant to Represent for THE Park

Priya Paul, Chairperson of Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels, placed the Tyde launch within the philosophy that has shaped THE Park brand since its founding.

"We are excited to launch Tyde, a lively and contemporary dining destination in the heart of Connaught Place. As pioneers of luxury boutique hospitality in India, we have always believed that our hotels must be more than places to stay, they should be spaces where art, design, music, culture, and cuisine come together to create experiences that are Anything But Ordinary. Tyde carries that philosophy forward in a fresh and distinctive way."

— Priya Paul, Chairperson, Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels

The phrase "Anything But Ordinary" has been THE Park's brand positioning for years, it is not a launch-day tagline but a consistent articulation of what the group has been trying to build across its properties. Tyde is the latest expression of that idea in the context of a restaurant rather than a hotel room or a spa. Art, food and design working together in a single space is easier to say than to deliver. The installation brief, the textile commissions and the design choices at Tyde all suggest a team that is trying to deliver rather than simply announce.

Parag Sahwney on the Culinary Direction at Tyde

Parag Sahwney, General Manager of THE Park New Delhi, described the culinary programme at Tyde as built around diversity of flavour and consistency of craft.

"Tyde brings refined dining and dynamic food concepts to the heart of the city. A passionate culinary team has curated menus inspired by diverse flavours and modern interpretations, with every detail thoughtfully considered for a refined yet engaging experience. Tyde is designed as a dynamic gathering space for discerning diners and global travellers alike."

— Parag Sahwney, General Manager, THE Park New Delhi

The menu at Tyde spans artisanal coffee, wood-fired pizzas, Asian-inspired dishes, small plates and a full à la carte offering. The range is broad enough to serve the hotel guest who wants a working lunch and the Delhi diner who comes specifically for dinner without either experience feeling like a compromise. Wood-fired pizza alongside Asian flavours in a hotel restaurant at Connaught Place is not an unusual combination in 2026, the challenge is executing both well enough that the menu has genuine credibility at both ends of its range.

An All-Day Venue Built for the Rhythm of Delhi's Dining Culture

Connaught Place is not a neighbourhood that lacks for dining options. What it has consistently needed is more venues that can hold a guest across multiple occasions in a single week, the breakfast table on Monday, the client lunch on Wednesday and the evening drinks on Friday, without any of those visits feeling like a repeat of the last one. Tyde's all-day format, combined with the art-led interior that gives the space a reason to return regardless of the menu, is calibrated for exactly that kind of sustained relevance.

For THE Park New Delhi, Tyde adds a fresh F&B identity to a property that has been operating in one of India's most visited hotel corridors for decades. The art commissions are new. The design language is new. The format is built for 2026's dining guest rather than for any previous era of hotel restaurant convention. Whether Tyde becomes one of Connaught Place's regular destinations for Delhi's dining public, not just a hotel restaurant that hotel guests visit, is the measure that matters most for a brand that has always defined itself against ordinary.
