The kings of India have left a royal legacy with their palaces and residences which is still holding on to the glory. Staying in one of the heritage hotels in India is like steering one’s vacation ship to the port of royalty and comfort.
Guests at such palace turned hotels will get to experience a great ambience, royal food, huge rooms, old furniture, yet modern facilities. All these features will give the tourists a overall different picture of India. The concept of heritage hotels started mainly from the Rajputana state of Rajasthan, land of the Marwar.
The Ministry of Tourism has approved some of these hotels as good for staying and all such hotels give the tourists a happy vacation in the end. Some of these heritage hotels are: Panjim Inn of Goa which lies on the January road in Fontainhas; Utelia Hotel of Ahmedabad lying on the Gandhi Baug; Balaram Palace Resort of Gujarat which is placed in the Chitrasani circle and Hotel Chirtala House in Allepey, Kerela.
All these heritage hotels have one thing in common which is nothing but the old fashioned artistic buildings with some of the modern facilities inside to suit the needs of the tourists.
