W hen it comes to Indian hotels, it's all about the palace.
That's the judgment, anyway, of the expert travelers who chose the best hotels in India for Forbes Traveler .
After all, who wouldn't want to stay in a palace hotel? It's like having your own personal Taj Mahal. Not all of India's grand hotels are in palaces, of course, but why not live like a maharaja, at least for a night?
Which one of the 10 is #1? Forbes Traveler didn't rank them; instead, we had our panel choose the overall best places, based on factors such as room quality, service, d�cor and location. We wanted to make our compilation much more than a list -- we wanted it to be a real resource, a place travelers could find the absolute best places to stay.
So we also had professional travel writers who have stayed in these hotels review them, offering an in-depth look at the rooms, service, and other highlights. And since these writers didn't accept a complimentary rate, they could provide an honest assessment.
