Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, Microsoft president Brad Smith, and Nvidia founder Jensen Huang are among some of the most prominent figures from the tech world who are expected to attend the summit.

Over 35,000 visitor registrations from across more than 100 countries have been received so far for India AI Impact Summit 2026, as per the central government. As such, the high demand for hotel rooms has caused a heavy jump in prices.

Browsing through listings on online travel platform Booking.com, we found that a single guest seeking a stay at the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel near Delhi's Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport from February 16 through February 20 would have to pay Rs 1.6 lakh.

A similar price is expected at the Vivanta New Delhi in Dwarka.

At the Taj Palace hotel in Chankyapuri, the room price per person for those four days and nights would cost more than Rs 4 lakh.

Visitors choosing The Oberoi may have to shell out Rs 6 lakh per person for a stay during the India AI Impact Summit 2026. The Claridges, too, may charge a guest around Rs 4 lakh for a room during that period.

Moreover, a room at The Leela Palace was listed at Rs 12.79 lakh, with an additional tax of Rs 2.30 lakh, for the four-day period.
