The weather in India can be exceedingly hot (assuming it’s not monsoon season). But staying indoors is no way to spend a vacation. Instead, visitors at this hotel can enjoy tea or a light meal on a shady patio overlooking the property’s lush gardens.

Not all Indian architecture is arched windows and Taj Majal. This geometric design combines modern elements with classic Indian style, making this particular pool feel more space age than colonial.

The hotel is situatied on a hillside where even just driving up to the door is an experience. The greenery of the landscape contrasts with the bright white building that reflects the colors of the sunset.

The rooms are distinctly Indian in their design as well. In this particular guest room, an elegantly arched window looks out onto one of the hotel pools. Local rugs and artwork bring the culture of the region into the room as well.
