We are NOT a listing website. Out of the thousands of hotels that India offers, we have zeroed in on only a few hundred that we feel are unique in some way. These special places may differ in standard and price from moderate to luxury but they all guarantee a memorable experience.

Over the last three decades, we have traveled the length and breadth of the sub-continent to find exciting and unusual places to stay in some of India’s most beautiful and fascinating locations. We now have a carefully selected range of guest houses and ancestral homes, atmospheric heritage hotels, intimate boutique hotels, stylish hideaways and finest palace hotels. They may differ in standard and price from moderate to luxury but they all guarantee a memorable experience.

The scope of special places to see and stay in India is quite overwhelming. In order to help you make a choice, we have put together a diverse and original range of tours that you can use as a guideline to plan yourself a holiday that takes you to places where you most want to go. All holidays can of course be modified to suit your personal requirements as all our trips are 100% tailor-made.

Our hand-picked “Special Places to Stay”

Our hand-picked “Special Places to Stay” come in three different categories:

Smart - $

Good, basic amenities, well kept and often characterful. Hotels are often small, centrally located and offer a personal experience. Bathrooms are en-suite (unless specified). Most of our favourite small hotels, guesthouses, retreats, eco-lodges, heritage hotels fall in this category. No pretensions to grandeur but great value for money.

Comfortable - $$

A high standard of accommodation with a wide range of facilities. Comfortable en-suite guestrooms, good amenities and public areas. Most hotels in this category offer a restaurant on-site and many will have a swimming pool. For those who are willing to spend a bit more for that extra level of comfort.

Luxury - $$$

Excellent atmospheric hotels and palaces or resorts in exclusive locations. Facilities such as swimming pools and spas are the norm, and guest rooms are luxurious. These luxury hotels offer the highest standards of service and facilities and are acknowledged as the leading properties in the region.
