Amritsar (Punjab)
Channelling an 'Exotic Marigold Hotel' spirit this heritage haveli is more than just a place to rest your head en-route to the Golden Temple. Food is healthy and organic plus there are yoga and meditation classes. Rooms are crammed full of antiques with vast four posters, Indian silks and art.
Amritsar (Adjoining Alpha One City Center, MBM Farms)
Reliable luxury courtesy of The Hyatt. A fusion of modern architecture and traditional Indian design and colours. Rooms are awash with polished woods, rich oranges and reds with state of the art bathrooms. Traditional spa treatments are available and there is gourmet South and East Asian dining.
Amritsar (Opp. Basant Avenue )
A magnificent addition to the Taj family, right in the heart of Amritsar. The interiors are spectacular, with neutral tones and understated glamour set off by the occasional touch of local artisan fabric or glistening chandeliers. The food is exceptional, as indeed is the spa. A suave choice.
