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 located at the edge of Banjara Hills, within close proximity of business and shopping centers. It is barely 15 minutes away from the airport and around a 10-minute drive from the railway station at Nampally.

Hotel Baseraa


Hotel Baseraa is a landmark in itself. It is conveniently located — right next to the heart of the city’s business center — and is easily accessible from all the places of interest. It’s just a 10-minute drive from the airport and a 5-minute drive from the railway station at Secunderabad.

This hotel has an imposing entrance, with a facade of ornate grandeur that seems half-hearted. It is spread over a large area and has its own shopping arcade. There is a parlor with tantalizing pastries on display, a variety of confectionery, ice creams and bakery delicacies. The reception is somewhat gaudy in the night.

There are 77 spacious rooms with individual thermostats, piped stereo music, multi-channel CTV, a refrigerator, direct dial telephone, etc. The hotel is a popular joint for social get-togethers and conventions. ‘Baithak’ is a function hall ideally suited for celebrations and kitty parties, and can seat 25 to 75 persons. A mini conference hall is an exclusive option for conducting seminars and can seat 15 to 30 persons. The hotel also has its travel agent, a doctor-on-call, secretarial services, etc.

Hotel Ashoka


Hotel Ashoka was set up 15 years ago. Situated right in the hustle and bustle of the busy Lakdi-ka-Pul area, it is a popular hotel for foreigners, students and business clients. It is economical and spread out in a large area. In fact, the rooms here are quite spacious compared to many other hotels. There are meeting rooms and conference halls that can facilitate gatherings and business transactions.

The hotel has two restaurants — a strictly vegetarian restaurant known as Saptagiri (timings are 0700 to 2300 hours), and a non-vegetarian restaurant called New Ashoka Bar and Restaurant, which is open from 1100 to 2300 hours.

This place is surely not one of the smart and attractive turned out ones. However, its reasonable pricing makes it the favorite place of many a visitor. Being centrally located, it is close to major shopping areas. Tourists who are on a shoestring budget can check out this hotel. Apart from the price factor, it also provides easy accessibility to the hubs of business and commercial activity in Hyderabad. A tour desk could also help you in planning out an exciting day for sightseeing.

Hotel Harsha


Climb a series of steps to reach the reception on to your right and you’ll be warmly welcomed into Hotel Harsha. The hotel was built 16 years ago. Minor renovations couldn’t do much to improve the look of the lobby, which is quite unimaginative and dull. However, the staff is courteous and pleasant, and is ever ready to help.

Hotel Harsha is 8 km away from the airport, 8 km from the Secunderabad railway station and 1.5 km from the City Bus Terminal. But it is quite close to the railway station at Nampally. The rooms are comfortable. The hotel is definitely wallet–friendly. Being centrally located is an added advantage.

The rooms have telephones with direct dialing facility. A cable TV with 30 Channels and in-house video programs are available in each room. Pure vegetarians can heave a sigh of relief because they can dine happily at the air-conditioned vegetarian restaurant with a lovely name — Green Casserole — that serves South and North Indian cuisine.

Hotel Green Park


Is there a Hyderabadi that doesn’t know of Hotel Green Park and the bakery opposite that, The Country Oven? Both are pretty popular in this city. This hotel came into existence a decade ago and had earned a good name in the hospitality business over the years. It is situated in Greenlands, Begumpet, at close proximity (2.4 km) to the airport. It is a 10-minute drive from the business hubs and the shopping centers.

The hotel has 148 rooms spread out over three floors. It has an on-line integrated computer system and boasts of a fully imported state-of-the-art ALCATEL telephone exchange. Hi-tech climate control and energy conservation systems have been incorporated lately.

There's ample parking space. The lobby is spacious and imparts a feeling of luxury. To the left, a pearl shop and a store with Kashmiri bric-a-brac and other curios add a splash of color. A multi-cuisine restaurant called Once Upon A Time gives value for money.

The main lobby opens out to a lovely 24-hour coffee shop — The Tulips. If you wish to get into the spirit of the spirits, don’t miss out on The Mustang Bar that is open from 1100 to 2300 hours. Young kids who would like to party and 'escape' to a fun place can try out Escape, a pub that is open from 12 noon to 11pm.

Hotel Deccan Continental


Hotel Deccan Continental opened for business in 1978, and has evolved over the years for what it is today. The present Managing Director, Ajit Singh, took over from his father in 1980, and has run the hotel ever since.

The hotel is very conveniently located — 1 km from the Rajiv Gandhi airport, 3 km from the Secunderabad railway station, and 1 km from the main shopping area of Secunderabad. It has a fine panoramic view of Hussain Sagar lake. It has 84 rooms, with the tariff ranging between Rs 500 for single occupancy of a non-airconditioned room to Rs 1,500 for an air-conditioned double suite. Check out time is 12 noon.

The rooms are clean and well maintained. They all have attached bathrooms with running hot and cold water, telephone, piped music, CTV and Star TV for 24 hours. The A/C rooms are centrally air-conditioned with individual controls in each room.

The hotel provides several facilities and services including safe deposit lockers, laundry, dry cleaning, doctor (by appointment), 24-hour room service, left luggage room, courtesy coach to airport every hour (500 to 1800 hours), swimming pool, gym, lawn tennis, table tennis, badminton, card room and billiards. Secretarial service is available on request, and there is a STD booth in the lobby. Computer communication services are also available. The hotel has two restaurants: Black Stallion, an a la carte multi cuisine restaurant, and Bear Point, a multi-cuisine food and beverage outlet.

The hotel is ideally suited for seminars, conventions, conferences, training programs and weddings. In fact, it is much sought after for group offers and many facilities. It has acquired a reputation among travelers and for group bookings and middle income social activities.

This is a good place for budget conscious tourists who are not looking for five star accommodation and the frills. Ajit Singh tells me that the Deccan Continental has become known for the large-scale gatherings it can organize. And he is fully geared for it. He has the space, the infrastructure and the expertise. Watching a traditional wedding take place on these premises — the color, the music, the flowers, the gaiety, the tamasha and the food — is a worthwhile experience in itself!
