  • Bars & restaurants

“A design-led manor surrounded by vineyards and reserve forest, bringing a distinctly contemporary perspective to India’s emerging wine country”.

Hotel Irada transforms a former private manor into a 32-room retreat at the centre of a 66-acre working winery, surrounded by roughly 4,000 acres of reserve forest and grassland. The original neoclassical structure has been reworked by AD100 studio Humming Tree with mid-century furniture, Indian craftsmanship, contemporary art and vintage pieces sourced from Les Puces in Paris. Beyond the interiors, the estate revolves around wine: vineyard walks, cellar visits and tastings sit alongside forest trails, wildlife, racquet sports and the Nyāsa wellness programme.

Taj Lake Palace

Hotel

Asia, India

From $400

Taj Lake Palace stands on an island in the middle of Lake Pichola, in Udaipur, and appears to float on the water. It was built in the 18th century as a summer palace for the Maharanas of Mewar and was first known as Jag Niwas. Today it is run by Taj, which has kept its marble courtyards, fountains, carved arches and royal suites, many with painted walls and stained glass. Guests arrive by boat, and the views stretch across the lake to the City Palace and the Aravalli hills. Meals can be taken by the lily pond, beside the pool or on the rooftop, and the Jiva Spa offers treatments rooted in Indian wellness traditions, including one on a boat moored on the lake. The palace also appeared in the James Bond film Octopussy.

The Taj Mahal Palace

Hotel

Asia, India

From $370

The Taj Mahal Palace opened in 1903 on the waterfront of Colaba, in south Mumbai, directly opposite the Gateway of India and overlooking the Arabian Sea. Its red domes and Indo-Saracenic architecture have made it one of the city's best-known buildings, and the hotel has hosted royalty, writers and heads of state for more than a century. The original Palace wing holds most of the historic rooms, decorated with antiques and Indian art, while the Tower wing, added in 1973, has a more contemporary feel. Guests have access to several restaurants, a Jiva Spa rooted in Indian wellness traditions, a fitness centre and a pool. The galleries, cafés and Art Deco buildings of Colaba and Fort are all within walking distance.

Anvaya

Hotel

Asia, India

From $240

Anvaya is a six-room boutique hotel on the southern edge of Delhi, next to the Asola-Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary and the village of Fatehpur Beri. Its curved, sunshine-yellow walls get their colour from the architect's experimental use of lime extract in the plaster and paint. Each room is named after a local tree, such as Neem, Banyan and Gulmohar, and looks out over the forest canopy. The kitchen runs on a zero-waste approach, with organic produce from the hotel's own farm, and the gardens are kept with an efficient irrigation system. Guided nature walks in the sanctuary can bring sightings of leopards, striped hyenas, jungle cats and hundreds of bird species, and the Aravalli hills, India's oldest range, are close by for hiking.

The Kumaon

Hotel

Asia, India

From $430

The Kumaon is a ten-suite mountain retreat high in Uttarakhand, overlooking valleys and the snow-covered Himalayan range near Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary. Designed as a series of minimalist pavilions, the property is especially memorable for its dramatic cantilevered dining room, while stone, bamboo, timber and local craftsmanship tie the contemporary architecture back to the region. Its small scale and extraordinary altitude make this less a conventional Himalayan hotel than a quiet architectural observatory for the mountains.
