Let Us Choose the Perfect Hotels for You!

Certain regions in India were renowned for their princely states, others had to be protected and yet more were on the paths of important trade routes. All of this led to the building of palaces, merchant’s houses, the grander and more lavish they were, an obvious statement of wealth and power. Forts were set up strategically, either for protection of the royals but also as safe staging posts for tax collectors and to secure ministers of the royals safe passage across their regions. Whilst some have been left to ruin, others have now been rebuilt, refurbished and restyled to provide some wonderfully unique hotels.

To truly get under the skin of the country there is no better way than to meet a local or two! Staying with a family is a wonderful way to experience the local culture (and the cuisine!) of India and discover the best kept secrets of your destination. Some homestays in India are really quite palatial, others literally give the experience of staying as part of the family in the spare room. Regardless of which you choose, you will arrive as strangers, leave as friends and will undoubtedly have discovered a part of this country which would not have been possible in a hotel.

Whether in a small converted fort or havelis, or a new build, the array of small boutique stays which have sprung up around India is fabulous. With unique locations, attention to detail and charming hosts, these types of hotels provide comfortable, informal and relaxed stays and provide a wonderful insight into the culture of India.

The range of accommodation in Indian cities is vast. From fabulous and historic five stars such at the Taj Mahal in Mumbai and The Imperial in Delhi, to fabulous five stars such as The Leela to chic and contemporary hotels. In addition there are many homestays for the more budget conscious or for those wanting a more informal experience. Whatever your budget or preference for experience, India’s cities have it covered.
