Top luxury hotels in India
There’s a great choice of luxury hotels in India offering respite from the hustle and bustle of the city streets. We’ve chosen the top hotels in India that can match the luxury of a private jet experience.
The Lodhi, New Delhi
When it comes to luxury holidays in India, an opulent hotel stay is a must, and The Lodhi is among the best. While its exterior is relatively unassuming, it gives way to an interior of pure decadence, where suites are adorned with regal furnishings and sprawling bedrooms feature perks like private terraces and plunge pools.
The Lodhi ensures a relaxing stay with a soothing spa center offering personalized massages and body therapies. The hotel also serves up world-class cuisine that will delight your taste buds – choose from Italian flavors at Perbacco or inventive Indian dishes at the acclaimed Indian Accent. Stepping outside the hotel, you’re just a short walk from the beautiful Lodhi Garden. Here, amidst pristinely kept grassland and trees, you can marvel at stunning 15th-century tombs and temples created by the Lodis, who once ruled parts of northern India.
Taj Lake Palace, Udaipur
Situated on its own island in Udaipur, the Taj Lake Palace has welcomed royalty, poets, and writers over the centuries and now opens its doors to all guests seeking a regal experience. The only way in or out of the palace is by boat, and with butler service, delicious cuisine and rooms fit for India’s traditional elite, you’ll never want this fairytale stay to end. Taj Lake Palace truly stands as one of the most exclusive resorts in India.
Wildflower Hall, an Oberoi Resort, Shimla
If you're searching for a rare retreat from the busy cities, up north in the Himalayas lies Wildflower Hall. The historic roots are kept in both the hotel’s facade and interior, lavishing guests with first-class amenities and services, including prestigious accommodation, a snooker room, an open-air whirlpool, and private yoga sessions. It has now become a popular destination for trekking, mountain biking, and heritage walks through the unbelievably beautiful landscape.
The Oberoi Vanyavilas Wildlife Resort, Ranthambore
If it’s a wildlife adventure you’d like to embark on, the Oberoi Vanyavilas Wildlife Resort offers travelers a five-star experience with triple-canopy tents that give the illusion of humble accommodation, but grand, kitted-out rooms, king-sized beds, a personal butler service, and private pools quickly reveal their luxe nature.
There’s a host of luxury India tours on offer in this part of the country, including seeing majestic Bengal tigers in the wild on safari in the nearby Ranthambore National Park. When you return to the hotel, enjoy dining by the lake, or take in a sundowner at the observation tower.
Kumarakom Lake Resort, Kerala
Down towards India’s southern peninsula, you’ll find the coastal location of Kerala and the five-star Kumarakom Lake Resort. Here, modern comforts are beautifully blended with Kerala’s 16th-century traditional architecture to create a unique experience by the warm waters of India’s western shoreline.
As well as beautifully constructed suites that come with inviting private pools, guests can also stay on their very own exclusive houseboat that drifts along the banks of Kerala. Delight in traditional Ayurveda wellness treatments, canal cruises, and serene visits to the nearby bird sanctuary.
The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra
Get a front-row seat to the Taj Mahal with a stay at what may be the most luxurious hotel in Agra – and possibly all of India. Located a mere 550 yards from the famous UNESCO World Heritage-listed Taj Mahal, this is one of the most special places in the country. Rooms around the hotel can get you a view of this incredible wonder of the world, and you can enjoy other incredible accommodation benefits, including private terraces and balconies, and 24-hour butler service.
Guests are also treated to exquisite restaurants serving both authentic Mughal and international cuisines. For an unforgettable evening, request a private dining experience set against the magnificent silhouette of the Taj Mahal.
