Best Boutique Hotels in India
Located in South Asia, India stretches from snow-capped mountains to palm-fringed beaches, inspiring all the senses. For those wanting an immersive cultural experience, watch life meet death on the banks of the Ganga River as locals perform their evening rituals in Varanasi or head north and witness the jewel of Islamic art by visiting the Taj Mahal, a display of pride and tradition. The Himalayas provide a refreshing break from the bustle of the Indian streets where you are invited to practise yoga in Rishikesh, visit Tibetan monasteries in Dharamshala, or trek through the stunning landscapes of Ladakh. However, if it is sun and sand you’re craving, Goa’s laid-back beaches and vibrant nightlife will not disappoint.
Whether it be the grand fortresses, picturesque landscapes or unique gastronomy that promote this adventure, India’s culture and vibrant atmosphere are waiting to welcome you.

The Roseate New Delhi
(5 stars)Designed by internationally renowned Khun Lek Bunnag, this unusual building was inspired by the five elements of Hindu philosophy (air, water, fire, earth and sky). Full of high tech gadgetry, everything in the bedrooms – like lighting and curtains – is controlled from an iPad. It has the longest swimming pool in town (108 metres long) and is surrounded by gardens, creating a cocoon of serenity. These include an area for growing the produce that’s served in the restaurants – the hotel also has cows and a mini fruit orchard. Guests can dine on Chinese food at Chi Ni or international cuisine at Kiyan.
