India Heritage Hotels
India has always been proud of its diverse cultural heritage, which
varies from food, language and clothes to way of living. An integral
part of Indian culture is its historic monuments and heritage homes that
have been converted now into heritage hotels. But, how a
monument became a hotel, is an interesting revelation in itself.
Heritage hotels are not just home or a place to live in, they also have
a historic significance of belonging to a particular era. Such as the
Havelis and palaces of Rajasthan, Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh that tell
the tales about the royal past of these regions and their exquisite
architecture make them a masterpiece creation. Similarly, the heritage
homes and mansions of Pondicherry and Goa, reveal the influence of their
colonial rulers on their culture and lifestyles. Travel India and spend
your vacation in Heritage Hotels in India and live like a Maharaja. The
large Palaces, Forts & Havelis that were once the residences of the
Maharajas & Rajas have been converted into Heritage Hotels of India.Famous Palace / Heritage Hotels in IndiaHotel
