A country as unique as India should only be visited in the most lavish. I feel ecstatic when I imagine myself immersed in a magnificent leisure mecca. In all of India’s picturesque spots, some of the best hotel brands keep raising the bar, offering you one-of-a-kind luxury suites and tantalizing delicacies. Some hotels will amaze you with their architectural designs, while others will dazzle you with their views and exceptional service. Handcrafted artwork, gorgeous chandeliers, whirlpool tubs, pillow menus and oversized comfy mattresses make you feel like you’ve stepped into a fairy tale world. So if you want to make your Indian holiday stand out, check out these luxury suites that are guaranteed to break through in quality.
Renaissance Mumbai Lake Powai Suite
If you ask me, nature’s design is the greatest luxury ever! This is especially true in Mumbai, India’s busiest cosmopolitan city. As a result, Renaissance Mumbai not only tops my list of Indian suites, but it also brings to life a proverb: “The secret of being in harmony with nature is patience.” This is Mumbai’s one-of-a-kind lake resort with stunning views of Lake Powai everywhere. , but what sets it apart is its exceptional service. During my stay at the Renaissance Mumbai Hotel, I had the opportunity to explore the wonderful Powai Lake Suite, a two-story suite with a separate living room and bedroom.
The master bedroom on the ground floor has an open bathroom concept, while the living room has an enclosed toilet. Best of all, no matter where you choose to sit, you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of Lake Powai that will gradually calm you down. That, and restaurants with panoramic water views, give you a glimpse into the world’s greatest culinary traditions. Whether Oriental, Italian or Indian, they have it all! Highly recommend the crispy lotus root and scallops at Imperial Pavilion.
Enjoy a traditional Indian buffet at Nawab Saheb and breakfast at Lake View Cafe for more continental flavours. Suite guests have exclusive access to the Executive Lounge on the 36th floor, where they can use binoculars to observe the crocodiles in the lake.
Noor-Us-Sabah Palace Club Junior Suite
For two days, the vaulted domes, beautiful architecture and consistent hospitality of Noor-Us-Sabah Palace made me feel like a queen. Bhopal’s stunning skyline adds a touch of flair to this hilltop lakefront residence. Built by Sultan Shah Jahan Begum’s father Noor-Us-Sabah Palace for her! Therefore, the emotional mood of the basic architecture of the hotel is what really defines its foundation. However, it was in those majestic corridors with crimson columns and marble floors that I first got the feel of royalty. In addition to the architectural splendor, this location is flanked by several “beautiful” courtyards worth exploring.
Excellent city views can be enjoyed from the junior suites. That’s not all; at night, the waterfalls and dining venues come to life. This brings me to the Noor-Us-Sabah food area, which serves some of the most authentic Bhopali specialties. Each is presented in gorgeous style! I would say, ask for a room with a balcony, enjoy real Boppali food and stargazing poolside in Marble Arch at night. During your stay at Noor-Us-Sabah Palace, you will be treated like royalty.
Taj Santacruz Junior Suite with Runway View
Just when I thought Mumbai’s cityscape, no matter how beautiful, was ageing, the Taj Mahal has unveiled a new hotel with something “interesting and utterly” startling.new that santa cruz is an airport hotel located in the heart of India’s economic capital, offering a variety of ultra-luxury “first-of-its-kind” runway suites. They redefine luxury by letting you watch planes take off and land from the comfort of your bed.
Upon arrival, a fine bottle of wine was waiting for me in the spacious junior suite. And, coincidentally, I just poured myself a glass of wine when I saw the first plane take off. However, my favorite part here is the ensuite bathroom! From the double basin to the open Jacuzzi, everything is designed to rest, replenish and regenerate. Food is the second highlight of this hotel. Overall, the suites and the in-house multi-cuisine restaurant are the epitome of luxury, artfully combining tradition in a contemporary setting.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Claim a Runway View Suite and take advantage of Tiqri’s Food Festival to truly experience India and Mumbai.
Indore Marriott Junior Suite
Madhya Pradesh is a lovely state, and its commercial capital, Indore, is a “great” city worth visiting. One thing that has stayed the same in the last year of all my travels to Indore is being at the Indore Marriott. When I first stayed in their delightful modern junior suite, I was blown away by the quality of food and service. This brings me back to this property time and time again.
Undoubtedly the most sophisticated hotel in Indore, the Indore Marriott will magically transform your regular trip into an unforgettable vacation. While you’re here, try meeting Executive Chef Vivek Kalia! He’s the mastermind behind the successful cooking at the Indore Marriott, and in just a few minutes with him, you’ll be salivating over anything you eat in-house.
Suggestion: ask for a Junior Suite with a garden view. Enjoy poolside stargazing, Chef Antara’s Calzone pizza, Hemanth Sharki’s oriental specialities, or ask Chef Vivek Kalia to personalize your dining experience.
Collins Suite
In India, Egypt is a “real” whim! I didn’t know that until I checked into the Corinthian Resort in Pune. The Corinthian Hotel in South Pune is sure to amaze you with its “sprawling” splendor, which includes Egyptian columns, well-maintained gardens and a separate poolside bar. During my visit, I slept in a large suite at the Hotel Corinthians, which has one of the largest restrooms I’ve ever been to. Plus, there’s a stuffy Jacuzzi! The suites are luxurious with top modern amenities such as foot massagers.
Once you visit the 25 acres, trust me, you will crave foot reflexology! When it comes to food, every Corinthians restaurant is exquisite, but no matter where you have lunch or dinner, you must try breakfast on the suite patio. Overall, this is a great location for an Egyptian-style holiday without having to travel to Egypt. Sip draft beers at 1st Brewhouse and enjoy drinks at Oasis Bar by the pool. During your stay, you can enjoy many activities, from poolside bars to pharaoh statues.
Victorian Suite, Jirabagh Palace
It’s not every day you walk into a hotel and have the opportunity to stay in a Victorian suite that was meticulously crafted in the Victorian era. That’s why reaching Jhira Bagh Palace is such a great experience. Acres of farmland surround this whitewashed mansion in the middle of Dar, a district in Madhya Pradesh. Heading to Jhira Bagh Palace and staying in a Victorian suite is all about getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life while staying connected to the heritage of the Malwa region.
I’m so glad I made it because the amazing warmth and service at this country retreat helped me clean for two days. Whether it’s a farm tour, a high-quality organic meal, sleeping in a queen suite, swimming in a pool frequented by peacocks, or dining at the royal table, there’s something for everyone! Everything about this hotel speaks to the colonial period of the 18th century. While you’re here, be sure to check out the antique collection!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Book a Colonial Suite. One of the 300 peacocks chooses to show off his dancing skills every day at 5pm so don’t miss out!In addition, a farm tour organized by the hotel starts at 8 am
Executive Suite, Radisson Blu Hotel, Indore
After the Marriott Hotel, the Radisson Blu is the second best hotel in Indore. Radisson Blu’s numerous suite options make it work despite being built into a small space. When I first arrived, I was blown away by the spaciousness and view of the executive suite. Not only does it have gorgeous interiors, exquisite furniture, ornate chandeliers, powder rooms, walk-in closets, and even a whirlpool tub, but it also boasts luxurious mountain views. While you’re here, visit their Sky Spa, which offers some of the best treatments in town. As part of the suite, I also have access to the executive lounge and rooftop swimming pool. Overall, a good experience!
Suggestions: sample forgotten royal recipes at Indiya Oye restaurant and chocolate wraps at Sky Spa. If you like Asian food, Ni Hao’s sushi platters and dumplings are some of the best in town.
Studio Suite, Pune Marriott Suites
Marriott International has opened Marriott Suites in Pune, another beautiful facility. Located in Koregaon Park, Marriott Suites is an elite suites facility offering a variety of suites and serviced apartments. Each suite features a kitchenette, separate dining area, balcony, ensuite bathroom and first-class amenities. They also have an outdoor swimming pool, partly shaded by trees. But the most unusual aspect of my visit was the rejuvenating “Thalgo” facial at the on-site Sakura Spa.
An indoor gym and squash courts are available for sports enthusiasts and families with children. Especially the Italian restaurant inside, which was a big disappointment. Still, the lounge bar is worth a try.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Treat yourself to a Thalgo facial at Sakura Spa and relax at the Oak Lounge with live music and canapés.
Express Suite, Express Inn, Nashik
Whether you are in Nashik for a business meeting or a weekend getaway, the right hotel will change your impression of Maharashtra’s fourth largest city. For example, the Taj Gateway will make you feel like royalty, the Sula Vineyards will take you on a tour of India’s wine hub, and the Express Inn will take you to the 1st century Pandavleni caves. I stayed in the Express Suite which overlooked Pandavleni Cave and Buddha Vihar during my stay at the Express Hotel and loved it.
The suite has all the modern conveniences and a large comfortable bed, but the in-house restaurant, Aster and Le Bar Salon, falls short of culinary standards. Still, there are other ways to have a great time during your visit! You can swim in the outdoor pool, work out in the fitness center, or book a spa treatment at the on-site salon.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Book a suite with a view of the Pandavleni Caves and enjoy a wrap or massage at the O2 Spa.
