Ramada Hotel Manohar


If Hyderabad had had an airport hotel, this would have been it! Ramada Hotel Manohar is so close to Rajiv Gandhi airport that you cannot miss it. When you are getting out of the airport area, you will pass it on your left. At that juncture, a turn to the right, under the flyover, will take you to Begumpet and beyond, and a turn to the left will take you to Secunderabad. The hotel is in easy striking distance of the commercial and the shopping centers of the twin cities. It is also within easy reach of the railway stations in Secunderabad and Hyderabad.

The Ramada Manohar went into business a few years ago. Nevertheless, there is a constant effort to improve the rooms. Minute attention is paid to everyday cleanliness. There are 135 fully soundproof rooms, including 24 suites and one Presidential Suite. All rooms are equipped with an electromagnetic key card system for entry. All rooms also have multi-channel cable TV, telecom and a mini bar. Tariff is inclusive of buffet breakfast at the Cascade in the main lobby.

The Executive Club guest has certain extra privileges like complimentary airport pick-up and drop, check-in at airport at request, buffet breakfast in the Executive Club lounge and buffet lunch or dinner at the Cascade. The other privileges include an exercise cycle in the room, fax machines in all Executive Suites, a 20% discount on laundry, a 15% discount on the soft mini bar (in Cascade and Copper Pot) and free secretarial services in the Business Center.

There are two restaurants on the premises: Cascade, a coffee shop and multi-cuisine restaurant, and Copper Pot, an unusual and distinctive place for North and North West Indian cuisine. The Alcove bar is situated right next to the Cascade. The hotel also has another place in the cellar, called The Passport, where you can have a drink and play pool.

For conferences and banquets, Ramada Manohar has rooms like Topaz (seating 50) to Crystal Palace (seating 600), and others in between. The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool that can be seen from the Cascade, and tennis court, health club, gymnasium, sauna, jacuzzi and chilled showers in a facility next door. It provides travel-related services, same-day laundry service, and a 24-hour safe deposit locker service. Room Service is also available throughout the day and night.

Hotel The Central Court


The Central Court came into being six years ago and there has been no looking back since then. The rooms in this elegant hotel are well appointed. The lobby is pretty with a sinfully tempting pastry counter looking you straight in the eye! There are capsule lifts, stained glass on the ceiling, beautiful marble flooring and a very courteous staff at your service.

The hotel has more than 70 rooms, which are luxurious and offer individual temperature control and fire-fighting systems. Three classic suites and one royal suite have been created for people with fastidious tastes.

The hotel believes in warm, personalized, round-the-clock service. Facilities like same day laundry, safe deposit lockers, utility shop, money exchange, florist and doctor-on-call are also available. Apart from this, business services like an efficient secretarial service, facsimile, telex, photocopying, etc. are offered.

‘Touch of Class’ is the multi-cuisine restaurant at the lobby, which serves Indian and foreign liquor too besides the food. The delightfully named ‘Salt & Pepper’ Coffee Shop also serves as a multi-cuisine restaurant. There is a daily lunch buffet and a special weekend buffet, both of which are very popular. ‘Cools & Embers‘ is a hotspot (literally speaking!) for exotic kababs.

The Central Court is well prepared for conferences and banquets at ‘The Westminster’, ‘Board Room’ and ‘The Terrace’, which can hold a small conference of 50 or a large convention of 400 people. The location of this hotel is another positive feature as it is situated amidst the buzz of Hyderabadi activity. It is 6 kms from the airport, 2 kms from the Railway Station at Nampally and just a 5-minute drive to the main shopping area, Abids.

Hotel Taj Mahal


Taj Mahal Hotel has nothing to do with the Taj Group of Hotels or any of the establishments run by Indian Hotels. It is an unpretentious vegetarian hotel offering boarding and lodging, run by Nadimane Hotels Private Limited. It has an air-conditioned multi-cuisine restaurant on the main road, a snack outlet next door and two family restaurants at the back of the hotel, one for meals and other for snacks.

The hotel has been a very popular place for many years down the line. It has also tried to keep up to date with the times, not only with refurbishing, but also through the very nature of its food and service. The multi-cuisine restaurant now serves Chinese food and Pizzas too — all strictly vegetarian, of course. Forty years ago, this was absolutely unthinkable!

Taj Mahal is very much a budget hotel. It has 45 rooms of six different kinds, from single rooms for Rs 200 to double delux air-conditioned suites for Rs 750. Every room has a telephone and a TV. Check-in and check-out is on the 24-hour plan.

As the hotel is situated in the very heart of Secunderabad, it is within striking distance of major commercial and shopping centers. It is also conventionally close to the Rajiv Gandhi Airport and the Secunderabad railway station. There is a travel desk in the hotel. Arrangements can also be made for car rentals.

There is a nice homely air about Taj Mahal. It is a popular shopping place for families on holiday and business travelers who prefer south Indian vegetarian hospitality to everything else. Vijay K Setty, the General Manager, tells me that his establishment is proud to play host to guests who opt for a reputable economy hotel for their stay in Secunderabad.

Taj Mahal Hotel is sited on one of the main thoroughfares of the twin cities. Taxis and auto-rickshaws should have no difficulty in transporting you to the place from airport or railway station.

Hotel Taj Banjara


The Taj Banjara one of the landmarks of the city, and within 15 minutes of the Rajiv Gandhi airport. Taxi and auto-rickshaw drivers will get you there without any confusion. It is 10 minutes away from several major business and shopping centers.

The Taj Banjara has a 30-year-old history. It opened as Hotel Banjara in the early ’70s. But the original promoters found that they could not manage it, so Welcomgroup stepped in and ran the enterprise for several years. In 1988, the present owners, Indian Hotels Limited, took over and started restructuring it, and it became the Gateway Hotel. Then it was the Taj Residency, and now, after the Taj Group took over just about every luxury hotel in town, it's the Taj Banjara.

The Taj Banjara is a business hotel. It does not claim to belong to the same league as the great five-star establishments of the Taj group. Nevertheless, it has a presence of its own. The hotel overlooks a private lake, a small kunta from Qutb Shahi times. The view from the lakeside rooms is enchanting. There are 116 rooms in all, not all of them facing the lake, and each one is clean and comfortable.

The standard rooms provide the average business traveler with all he would normally require. The ‘Residency’ rooms, on two floors, are more expensive, but provide extras. Guests can avail of in-room fax on request and enjoy access to an exclusive lounge that serves breakfast and cocktails in the evenings. Refurbishing and improvement of rooms and guest services seems to be going on all the time.

Several facilities including 24-hour room service, free safe deposit lockers, express laundry/dry cleaning service, doctor on call, 24-hour fax/telex/e-mail, work-station, if required, secretarial service, meeting rooms and a fully equipped Business Center are provided. The hotel offers travel assistance and can arrange car rentals. It also has a facility for currency exchange.

The restaurants are worth exploring. The Waterside Café is more than a coffee shop. It is a lovely place, overlooking the water, cheerful and inviting. It serves an elaborate buffet for lunch, representing Indian, Chinese and Continental cuisine. The Kebab-e-Bahar is open for dinner only. As its name implies, it is a kebab-roti and barbecue place, the haunt of many bon vivants, and well worth a visit. The Dakhni serves authentic Hyderabadi and Andhra cuisine. The Lobby Lounge is a popular watering hole, usually a hum of activity and merriment in the evening, a pleasant place to slake thirst.

Don’t forget to start your day with a dip in the swimming pool by the lake. The Taj Banjara will arrange for boating on the water, if you are so inclined. A hotel tennis court is also available. Large parties can be held in five banqueting rooms or on the lawns outside. Theme parties and food festivals seem to have become synonymous with this hotel. It is known as a good place for work and pleasure.

Hotel Quality Inn Residency


The Residency on the Public Gardens Road is the first hotel in AP to be awarded ISO 9002 certification. This three-star business hotel has an exquisite lobby inspired by gothic garden. The sturdy pillars and the beautiful ceiling complement a dramatic floor design in marble. The backdrop of the reception is breathtaking and is a fitting tribute to the classical European architecture.

The hotel has 95 well-appointed rooms, which are centrally air-conditioned and are reflective of good taste. Spacious banquet halls that can seat up to 900 people are a plus point. The hotel offers business center facilities, direct dialing telephone, same day laundry and dry-cleaning, free lockers, climate control, executive clubroom, audio-visual equipment, doctor-on-call, etc.

Madhuban is a multi-cuisine restaurant with ethnic undertones. My Choice is a bar and coffee lounge. One Flight Down is a happening pub with good music and a pool corner. The Residency is just a 15-minute drive from the airport and only a stone's throw away from the Hyderabad railway station.

Health and fitness freaks would definitely be thrilled at the prospect of an early morning jog or a long walk at the Public Gardens, which is very close to the hotel.

Hotel Golkonda


Hotel Golkonda is an interesting blend of traditional hospitality and modernism. The hotel is plush, but not ostentatious.

It is barely 15 minutes away from the airport and around a 10-minute drive from the railway station at Nampally.
