Tourist ActivitiesStay at Palace and Heritage Hotels
These splendid heritage homes which once served as residences of the royal families of India have now been converted into Heritage Hotels and are open to one and all. They remained unattended for a long period of time, and have now been renovated and restored in all their charm to provide guests with the experience of the decadent lifestyle of the erstwhile royal families. Rajasthan in India houses the maximum number of Heritage Hotels, more than any other state of India. The palace hotels are incredibly traditional yet stylish. Opulence reflects through antique furniture, satin curtains, huge chandeliers and silk tassels that adorn the suite. The beautifully restored gardens, grand courtyards and elegant corridors of the hotel are nothing less than a visual treat for the eyes of the onlooker. The constructions within the hotel complex transport you into the bygone era. A stay at the Lake Palace in Udaipur (Rajasthan) will overwhelm you with history peeled before your eyes. Afloat on the pristine waters of Lake Pichola, the Lake Palace with its walls adorned by impressive paintings and authentic décor serves as a perfect back-drop for the royal feel of guests. The Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai is a popular heritage hotel synonymous with grandeur and splendour. This classic hotel offers views of the Gateway of India and the Arabian Sea. It is a perfect blend of the Indian architectural style with Oriental and Moorish style of architecture. Silk carpets, fine columns, graceful chandeliers, elegant archways and a unique collection of paintings lends a royal touch to the structure. It is truly much more than simply a hotel. Yet another Heritage Hotel, the Royal Hotel in Uttaranchal (Nainital) gloriously reflects the royalty of the bygone era. The regal ambience of the days of yore remains intact till date. A spectacular view of the Kumaon Hills can be captured from the rooms. A range of efficient services and delectable dining experiences make your stay an unforgettable one. Savour grandeur at the royal retreats of India. Serving the needs of the international travelers well, these hotels are a boon for the tourism industry in India. The true essence of history they bestow will never fail to captivate even the most seasoned traveller. |
