Hotels in India

Popular Destinations

India is appreciated across the world for its mysticism, spicy cuisine, abundant flora and fauna, and colorful heritage. From the hustle and bustle of the big cities like Mumbai and Delhi to the white sandy beaches of Goa to the peaceful backwaters of Kerala, India has something to offer everyone.  Accommodation choices are just as varied and offer a range of possibilities for both budget and luxury travelers alike. In major cities, most hotels are easily accessible from the closest airport (although be prepared for traffic jams).  If you’ve planned a jungle safari adventure or other off-the-beaten-track sightseeing trip, you can choose from safari parks and jungle lodges that include wild life spotting and trekking in their activity sheet.  

Types of Accommodation

Budget hotels can be found in all major tourist spots across India.  Although these usually offer basic necessities, discerning travelers usually prefer a four to five-star resort or deluxe hotel as these tend to offer better aesthetics and facilities.  The country’s palace hotels are especially popular with foreign tourists.  Primarily concentrated in the palace state of Rajasthan, guests enjoy Maharajah-style living in the sprawling havelis where they can hobnob with blue-blooded residents.  If you’re in need of some R & R, check in at one of the country’s renowned spa hotels in the Himalayas, Jaipur, and Kerala.  

Booking a Room

Hotels of any class can be found using a quick online search.  Rooms and packages can usually be booked online with a credit card, but travelers are advised to research hotel reviews prior to making any bookings in order to avoid a disappointing experience.  Reservations are best made through the hotel itself or with a reputable travel agent.  A tourist map that displays the area’s hotspots and accessibility will also come in useful while choosing a hotel.
