With Republic Day 2026 coming on a Monday, many of us are looking at a perfect three-day break. It is a great time to skip the usual chores and treat yourself to a short trip. Whether you want to stay in the city or head to the hills, several top-tier hotels are offering special deals for the weekend of January 23rd to 26th.

Here are four luxurious places for a relaxing staycation where you can enjoy luxury and a bit of holiday spirit.

1. The Lodhi, New Delhi

If you are in the Delhi NCR area and want a complete change of settings without a long drive, The Lodhi is a top choice. It’s sitting right near the famous Lodhi Gardens, but once you enter the gates, the city noise just disappears.

What makes this place stand out are the rooms. Many of them have their own private plunge pools on the balcony, which is a rare find in a city hotel. You can spend your morning walking through the gardens and your afternoon at the hotel’s spa or the 50-meter lap pool. For dinner, you have “Indian Accent” right there, which is widely considered one of the best restaurants in the country. It’s all about quiet luxury here.

2. Della D.A.T.A Resort, Lonavala

If you want to skip the city’s noise this Republic Day, Della D.A.T.A Resort in Lonavala has planned a special escape for January 25th. Known as the world’s first military-themed luxury resort, it is tucked away inside a thick forest with a view of a peaceful lake.

The special Republic Day package for two includes a stay in a luxury glamping tent, a fresh breakfast, and a themed dinner. The most important part of the visit is the ceremonial flag hoisting, which lets guests celebrate the holiday in a quiet, respectful setting far from the usual city crowds.

Designed by Jimmy Mistry, the resort is all about “military luxury.” You don’t just drive up to the front door; you are taken on an off-road journey through the jungle in a military vehicle to reach the property. Once there, you stay in high-end tents that offer five-star comfort while keeping you close to nature.

Whether you want to try out the obstacle courses or just enjoy the silence of the woods, this retreat offers a unique way to celebrate India’s pride. It is the perfect mix of adventure, reflection, and relaxation for the long weekend.

3. The Leela Palace New Delhi

If you want to lean into the spirit of the holiday, The Leela Palace in New Delhi is doing something special. From January 23rd to 26th, they have a “Republic Day Getaway” that mixes royal treatment with national pride.

The weekend includes a ceremonial flag hoisting and live cultural music on the morning of January 26th. They are also offering a “Leela Picante” cocktail ritual and a fancy candlelit dinner for two. A nice touch they’ve added this year is a 10% discount for members of the Indian armed forces and their families. It’s a very traditional, high-class way to celebrate the long weekend.

4. Radisson Blu MBD Hotel, Noida

Sometimes you just want a break that is easy to manage, especially if you have kids. The Radisson Blu MBD in Noida has put together a family-focused staycation package.

They are offering buffet breakfasts and dinners at their restaurant, SXVIII, so you don’t have to worry about where to eat. They also have “1+1” deals on drinks and snacks at the bar, plus a 15% discount on spa services if you need to unwind. They offer early check-in and late check-out, and kids under five stay for free. It’s a great pick for families who want to enjoy the pool and the gym without any stress.

The best part about a staycation is that you don’t waste half your holiday in traffic. Since these hotels are either in the city or just a short drive away, you get more time to actually relax.
