Frankly speaking, it is one of the best hotels I have ever seen: big, beautiful, stylish and extremely expensive. The Taj Mahal Intercontinental hotel used to be one of the premier hotels in India since its opening in 1903. It offered everything: first-class service, mind-blowing architecture, amazing dining experience, excellent location.

And how could it happen to the hotel of THIS level? In a nick of time from a paradise-like hotel it turned into a hell-like one … Will the hotel be popular again among travellers?

Everything in this amazing hotel tells us about the power and magnificence of the Earth. The whole hotel is carved out of rock. Even its rooms are of rock with modern versions of ancient cave-paintings.

Just one look at this castle and you perfectly understand that you are in a cave: numerous pillars, dark pathways, open-air pools, natural openings in roof for sunlight. The entire resort operates on solar power solely.

But if the hotel is too natural too be true it doesn’t mean that you won’t get first-class amenities. The prices start from $88.00 a night.
