Hotel Inspector
This is the first of two very quick ‘sneak peeks’ into the Indian hotels I stayed in during my trip.
They were all lovely, but don’t worry, I won’t bore you with which had the best towels, the stingiest toiletries or the bounciest bed…I’ll save that for Trip Adviser 😉 ….come to think of it, I don’t think I got any towel sculptures (I love those) 😥 but I did get a thick garland of fresh flowers at one of them…Hawaii style, a really nice touch – and a lot of time must have gone into making them, so very much appreciated.
In every hotel I stayed in, the staff were always very polite – I don’t think I’ve ever been addressed as ‘ma’am’ before….
….and as you’d expect, Indian hotels all take their decor very seriously, you never have to look far for an opulent mood or rich vibrant colours.
The Vivanta by Taj Dwarka, Delhi
The Vivanta gives you clean lines and cosy rooms.
Lots of art around the building.
Not much to see or do around the area, but great for a short Delhi stay.
Futuristic vibe going on in the lobby
All the hotel rooms had this ‘attic/eaves’ design
A hot welcome drink
The hotel has lots of art work and interesting displays of information about India in it’s corridors
The Clarks Shiraz Hotel, Agra
A night at the Clarks Shiraz is perfect for a visit to the Taj Mahal since it’s not that far away.
Reception/lobby area
It’s a pleasure to be waiting around on these comfy chairs
Hotel stationary – great souvenir!

Oh wow! This is clearly the main difference between travelling with Virgin and travelling with Intrepid a Travel 😂 it looks as though you had pure luxury! Whereas I chose the ‘basic’ intrepid trip, and it was definitely basic 🙈 both hotels look stunning and your photos are fab 🙌🏻

Lol, I never thought of it like that 😄…but it was all very nice. Tbh, I’d never really heard much about Intrepid, or looked into it… but would definitely check it out when researching a trip in the future… think your tour had more of the fun factor though (that hilarious cinema experience and the night tour etc) priceless experiences 😉
