From the two nearest hotels, R. K. International at 630 m and The Indravan at 690 m, the National Museum is a straightforward walk of 9 and 10 minutes. A cluster at roughly 780 m to 1.0 km — Le Meridien New Delhi, Taj Mahal New Delhi, Shangri La Eros New Delhi, Hotel Salt and Room in Guest Room Posh Foreigners Place couples Allowed Lajpat Nagar — sits within 12 to 16 minutes on foot. From 1.1 km outward, including Hotel The Royal Plaza, Hotel Excellency, Hotel Asian International, The Claridges New Delhi, Bloomrooms @ Janpath, The Imperial New Delhi and Ambassador New Delhi IHCL SeleQtions, distances run to 1.5 km and 22 minutes, so many guests take a short ride instead. If you are coming from the airport, treat it as a drive or taxi rather than a walk.
Museums rarely anchor an itinerary the way this one does. The National Museum on Janpath is the country's flagship collection, the place where school groups, researchers and curious passers-by all end up on the same marble floors. Rooms range from Harappan seals and miniature paintings to Gandhian personal effects and sculpture galleries, spanning five thousand years, making it the sort of stop that rewards an unhurried morning rather than a rushed hour between other sights. Unlike the monument circuit, a visit here is indoors, air-conditioned and comparatively calm, which is precisely why people build a Delhi day around it: an early slot at the museum, lunch on Janpath or in Connaught Place, then the shops and galleries that surround it. The closest hotels put the entrance well inside a quarter-hour on foot, so it is entirely possible to treat the National Museum as your first appointment of the day and be back at your hotel for an afternoon rest.
