Like most of the countries in world, India also has hotels divided in different categories depending on their location, facilities, infrastructure, and amenities provided. All the star hotels in India are government approved with continuous control on the quality of services offered.

Five Star Deluxe Hotels

Five Star Deluxe hotels in India are globally competetive in the quality of service provided, facilities offered, and accommodation options. These hotels are located primarilly in metropolitan cities like New Delhi and Mumbai and major tourist destinations like Jaipur, Agra, and Goa.

Many of these hotels are situated in the Central Business Districts of the metropolitan cities or near the centers of transportation providing exceptional value for the business travelers.

Four Star Hotels

A rung below five star hotels, these hotels provide all the modern amenities to the travelers with a limited budget. Quality of the services is almost as high as the five stars and above categories. These kind of hotels are there for the travelers with a limited budget or for the places which might not be getting tourists traffic as associated with larger cities.

Three Star Hotels

These are mainly economy class hotels located in the bigger and smaller cities and catering to the needs of budget travelers. Lesser in amenities and facilities, these hotels are value for money and gives good accommodation and related services on the reduced price.

Heritage Hotels

Heritage hotels in India are best if you are looking for sheer elegance, luxury, and royal treatment. They are not just another accommodation options but tourist attractions in themselves. Exquisitely designed and decorated, meticulously preserved, high standards of service, and ethnic cultural motifs helps the tourists get the complete experience of an India that otherwise exists only in the history books.

Beach Resorts Hotels

Peninsular India bounded by Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean and the two emerald archipelagos of Lakshwadeep and Andaman and Nicobar have a long coastline of around 7500 km, offering an amazing array of beaches, some popular, some not so well known.

Wildlife Resorts Hotels

A wildlife tour is incomplete if you don’t actually live in a forest for a few days. Imagine living in a rest house or a tent amidst the dense wilderness and waking up to the twittering of birds, or maybe the roar of a lion! Day trips alone are certainly not enough to show you the true majesty of the wild, so why not try this too?

Government Approved Hotels

These are the hotels, which might not have applied for star categorization or small enough to find them in the list. Many of the wildlife resorts, lodges, and hostels are government approved providing a minimum level of accommodation facilities at far off places.
