Hotels: Almost Destinations

However wonderful your journey, however exciting the destination, where you stay transforms your visit. These are the doorways you walk through into the perfect backdrop for your journey - ancient brass royal gates, modern swinging glass and chrome doors, rustic vivid wooden archways, smart, simple welcoming panels, printed muslin tent-flaps blowing gently in the breeze, upright colonial doors - they all lead to different destinations, different experiences.

We select your hotels with care, based on your personal preference - extreme luxury, resorts and spas, palaces and forts, homestays, outback and tents, simple budget hotels. What is consistent however is that the hotels reflect the heritage of India, the culture and soul of its people, the colour of its craft, the warmth of its hospitality, and wherever you stay becomes home.

Take a look at some of the hotels. The categories tend to overlap - luxury hotels could be heritage hotels, so could resorts and spas. Homestays may be luxury or budget, so could the outdoors. Tell us what you like - classy, simple, discreet, buzzing, rustic, old-world - we're listening.
