Heritage Hotels of India are those properties that were formerly forts, palaces, mansions of the former rulers and royal families of India. They were built by the nobility or royalty and served as a residence. These houses, since time immemorial, have been renowned for their impeccable royal hospitality. After India gained independence, with the abolition of taxed funds to cover expenses incurred by the royal ruler or nobles, the maintenance of such colossal estates became a difficult task. For a considerable period of time, several of these properties were forgotten. When the importance of defending your pride and heritage was felt, the concept of heritage hotels emerged. Although most hotels today are operated by the royal relatives themselves, others have been run by major hotel chains on a lease basis.
These heritage hotels in India still keep these palatial houses so that they do not lose their grandeur and splendor of the ancient times. The elegant touch has been kept intact through traditional decorative elements and original art, charming hospitality, histological artifacts and some exhilarating experiences.
As these Indian heritage hotels were the symbols of royalty and wealth, the grandeur of the architecture is maintained with ornate balconies, expansive courtyards, grand rooms, majestic suites, loyal servants, exceptionally sumptuous delicacies, etc. Traditional cordial hospitality has always been the highlight for centuries, and the country’s heritage hotels adhere to rich and cultural norms and traditions.
There is an upward trend in the number of people looking for an experience that a normal hotel does not offer. Heritage is a completely leisure segment, with high-end products. With rising income levels, people aren’t afraid to spend a little more for a superior stay experience.
The Heritage Hotels experience is no longer limited to simply staying in the palaces of once-powerful royalty; The havelis and bungalows also have their own part of history, perhaps even more, which romanticizes the story, creating a wide selection of properties and budgets, not to mention the experiences. Usually, people travel to see these places to experience the uniqueness of the environment, and heritage hotels focus more on the experience that they offer on different levels. So, the transformation of historic heritage homes into super-luxury hotels, for the most part, is about striking the right line between commercial demands and conservation.
