Embellished arches, sculpted pillars, ornate ceilings, beautiful staircases and intricately carved doors capture one's imagination at the very first instant. The large number of forts and palaces of the country set forth an enriching experience for heritage lovers across the globe. Dynasties come and go, but these grandiose edifices exist to tell and demonstrate the glory of the years gone. However, one can observe that many of these architectural treasures have been converted into some of the finest heritage hotels of the world. And it is to be noted that these hotels are not mere hotels but a treasure trove of Indian architectural legacy.
