For shoppers a must stop is the Govt. owned Cottage Emporium about a 10 min walk from the hotel and showcasing Handicrafts from all over India. The prices are a little more expensive than the smaller privately owned shops lining Janpath Street(provided you are good at haggling at the smaller shops) but the quality is guaranteed so you are assured of not being taken for a ride.
A nice not too expensive restaurants is the Standard Cafe located on the first floor adjacent to the Regal Cinema 5 min walk from the Hotel. Try their Tandoori Platter! Taxis and Auto Rickshaws are easily available from outside the Hotel, but try to get an idea of the fare (to your intended destination) from the Hotel so you can negotiate effectively.

Delhi - interesting but frustrating city. Old Delhi worth a visit if you have the energy! Worth taking a rickshaw around the bazaars there. Beware of touts at all tourist sites. Some are good and worth the money many are worthless. The one we had at the Taj Mahal was not very good at all. The one we had at Fatehpur Sikri was very good. Worth the money. Don't hire one until you have listened to them for 5 mins or so and know if they know their stuff. The guide at the National Museum in Delhi was very good and would not accept any money for his tour.
Good Indian restaurant in Sheraton Hotel. Go to Agra by train. The 6.30am express executive class is great, a big surprise with breakfast and a newspaper.

Chennai is a busy crowded city, and the hotel is located close to the center of town. Good shopping center close by, and good restaurant connected to the hotel.

The Indian Restaurant at the Oberoi Hotel is terrific, especially for Tandoori Chicken, the best ever. The Bukhara Restaurant at the Maurya Sheraton is very popular, best to have a reservation if you do not want to wait in line.
