Taj Residency

Frommer's Review

Although this is the best hotel in town, catering to Aurangabad's high society crowd as well as to business and leisure travelers, the main block could do with an upgrade. The new wing with 24 deluxe rooms opened in 2005, so ask for a room there. Located away from the center, the tranquil retreat is surrounded by verdant gardens overlooked or accessed by guest rooms; ground-floor patios also have swings. Don't expect the type of ultra-luxurious decor you'll find in major city hotels (the mattresses are foam and the carpeting slightly tatty in places), but accommodations are reasonably spacious, with teak furniture, Mughal arch-shaped mirrors, and miniature paintings on the walls. Ask for one of the corner units (no. 201 or 221) -- these have extra balcony space. Suites, which include all meals, are large and plush and have wonderful private terraces. The hotel is serviced by students of the hotel management school next door, and like elsewhere in Aurangabad, service is inconsistent.
