Accommodation

Trident Gurgaon

Trident Gurgaon

A modern re-imagining of a palace set in an urban oasis. Located within 15 minutes of the airport, but emphatically not an airport hotel. A refined décor with shimmering silks in the 136 rooms. Impeccable attention to detail, brilliant staff, superb dining options, and an indulgent spa add to the appeal.

Khem Vilas Ranthambore

Khem Vilas Ranthambore

This ten-acre wilderness camp is a family-owned property with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Lush gardens wrap around a colonial-style white house with daybeds scattered about to take in the views. The 17 rooms are within the lodge, in tents, and in luxury thatched roof cottages. An Ayurveda spa and a small plunge pool are set in the gardens.

Shahpura Bagh

Shahpura Bagh

A wonderful retreat between Udaipur and Jaipur, set in 45 acres of garden and pasture and surrounded by two lakes. The 11 suites are individually designed leaning towards an elegant balance of minimalist and antique. Meals are served either al fresco in the garden or in the family dining room. The owners, the present Raja and family are on site as congenial hosts.
