Taj Residency

This is far and away the best hotel in town, and built with plenty of architectural references to a Mughal palace; the management of this lovely hotel is aiming very high. Not only the look, but also the service, has undergone dramatic improvement, providing elegant digs for both business travelers and vacationing cave-explorers. The deluxe rooms in the newer wing (which seamlessly fuses with the original building) are the most fashionable accommodations -- plush and superbly fitted, they all have views over the pool and surrounding garden. But more recent refurbishment has transformed many of the original, more dated rooms into smart executive units with wooden floors and a sleek modern ambience; they're smaller than the deluxe rooms, and aimed at business travelers, but are the best value here. The hotel gives practical training to students of the hotel management school next door, which often means getting better-than-average service from wide-eyed, very enthusiastic youngsters. Note: Plans are afoot to augment services to the deluxe rooms and suites by adding dedicated butlers.
