Hotels in India

Once home to the ancient Indus Valley civilization, modern India is now the largest democracy in the world and the second most populous country, boasting an astounding 1,182,403,000 residents. With many diverse subcultures, languages, religions and cuisines, a visit to India is like a visit to many countries. Thus a hotel in India’s northern province of Punjab is a totally different experience from a hotel in the southern Andhra Pradesh Rregion and different also from India  hotels in the western city of Mumbai, India’s largest. How to make sense of this overwhelming country? HotelsOne.com. On HotelsOne.com, you’ll find all the information you need about hotel amenities, proximity to India landmarks and more, so you can make your India reservations with confidence. The site lists hotels in cities ranging from New Delhi to Chennai to Madurai to Vārānasi, letting you know ahead of time exactly what to expect from each hotel in each city.

Let’s start with hotels in India’s vibrant capital city of Delhi (the capital is technically in New Delhi, but the names are used interchangeably. Delhi, India is home to some of the most beautiful and historical landmarks, such as the stunning 1648 Red Fort, with its Lahore Gate. A Delhi hotel can also put you close to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Humayun's Tomb and the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, Delhi's first and still the grandest. A hotel in Kolkata, India (formerly Calcutta) puts you in the cultural capital of the country, where you can visit The Victoria Memorial, a magnificent reminder of the days of the Raj, as well as the Esplanade, home to many shops, as well as the Indian Museum, the 19th century BBD Bagh government house and a variety of beautiful Buddhist temples. An India hotel in Chennai (formerly Madras) in the south gives you the opportunity to experience Tamil Nadu's best selection of restaurants, where you can sample such dishes as pongal, a porridge-like rice dish, and vada, a savory Indian donut. Many Chennai hotels will have their own restaurants, and staying in a Chennai hotel also makes it easy to visit some nice sandy beaches.

Of course, India’s most iconic landmark is easy to reach when you stay in a hotel in Agra. Of course, that’s the Taj Mahal. If you want to experience the beautiful Himalayas, then look for an India hotel in the northern states of Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir. Though touring the latter state can be a little risky giving the recent unrest, the rewards are great, as the Kashmir Valley is commonly referred to as Heaven on Earth, which comes with vast lakes, pristine streams and stunning mountain vistas. Things have been quiet there for several years, and as a result 40,000 foreign tourists visited Kashmir in 2009. So if you’re ready to visit India, then you’re ready to find the perfect hotel on HotelsOne.com.
