India's top romantic hotels revealed

The Taj Lake Palace hotel in Udaipur has been named the most romantic hotel in India by travellers.

Travel site TripAdvisor based the ratings on reviews submitted by consumers as part of the 2011 Travellers' Choice Hotel Awards.

Offering guests the choice of 83 rooms and suites, the hotel also has a spa, bookshop, swimming pool and games room.

One review of the Taj Lake Palace praised its special atmosphere and remote feel.

"It is very peaceful and tranquil and sometimes feels like you have the whole place to yourself. It is one of the most romantic hotels situated in a lake. The white imposing building in the middle of lake pichola is a sight to behold".

Marketing could help small Indian hotels

A new company has been created to help showcase the wide range of hotels available to those taking flights to India.

Owner Phillippa Kaye believes Indian Experiences will play an important role in marketing India's large number of privately-operated hotels -especially those that aim to be eco-friendly or offer guests good memories.

"The focus is on the experience given to travellers in order to showcase the best of the local area and not just focus on the tourist hotspots." explained Ms Kaye to Travel Daily UK.

She is also planning to spend the next 12 months discovering some of India's most appealing hotels ranging from luxurious resorts to those based in the country's national parks.
