It is no secret that Indian luxury hotels are renowned globally for their extremely warm hospitality. When one enters a five-star property in India, an instant 'home away from home' feeling cocoons guests. Factors such as personalised thorough service, tastefully decorated rooms, enthralling F&B outlets and a plethora of amenities, play a key role in the success of these hotels. At each luxury property, the staff pulls out all the stops to ensure guests have a comfortable, relaxing stay. In our celebratory issue, we feature the unique elements of some of our favourite luxury hotels in India.
