Lucknow, in northern India, capital of the State named as Uttar Pradesh and known as the ‘Constantinople of India’, is located on the banks of the Gomti River and offers the full range of hospitality that the discerning traveler has come to expect of hotels in the world’s capitals.
A significant rise in business traffic has brought about great improvements to the quantity and quality of hotels in Lucknow in recent years, increasing choices and lowering prices.
This has also benefited tourists visiting this magnificent city. The main languages in Lucknow are Hindi, Urdu and English, the latter being spoken in most hotels so most westerners can make themselves understood here. |
Kipling wrote about it in 1901. More than a century later, ‘Shiraz-i-Hind’ as Lucknow is also known, has become a great deal less garish but no less beautiful and, whether you are looking for a five-star hotel at which to book a suite and be pampered in opulent surroundings or prefer to use a more inexpensive venue as a place to leave your luggage and lay down your weary head after exciting trips all over the city, there is a hotel in Lucknow to suit everyone, India’s ‘Golden City of the East’.
At Lucknow’s top hotels you will find a gymnasium and a jogging track, a steam room and a fabulous outdoor swimming pool. With secretarial services available and a computer with Internet access in every air-conditioned room, you will lack for nothing and there is even a doctor on hand should you require one unexpectedly. Select the hotel in Lucknow according to your requirement and budget.
Small hotels in Lucknow, also known as India’s ‘City of Nawabs’, usually offer clean rooms, excellent service and, breakfast included in the price of the room and you will usually find you are not far from a supermarket and several restaurants. Which hotel you choose will, perhaps, depend upon whether the food and views from inside the hotel interest you most, or the food and views outside it…
The Nawabs of India are said to have imbued Lucknow with the spirit of leisurely, good-mannered gentility and, it must be said, there is truth in this view. Courtesy and charm abound in hotels of every size and rating – the staff in most establishments seems intent on ensuring that guests have the best possible time and help to replace themselves through recommendations which is, no doubt, the case. There are many hotels in Lucknow. Some of the Lucknow hotels are expensive. Other Lucknow hotels are not that expensive. |
