The most famous hotels of India

most famous hotels of india

There was a time and there are places today where restaurants were called hotels. I still feel that childish excitement when I enter a ‘hotel’. It is as assurance that food won’t come wearing fancy pants, will be cheap and may be something that the locals eat. In Delhi, railway station from Paharganj side, has these hotels. Never tried them but we all have tried them some time, on highways, on trips to smaller town etc.

Many of these hotels are institutions. They have defied time and the change that came with it like the Madras and New Madras Hotels, Military Hotels and many stand alone eating joints that remain sought after even today. Any iconic ‘hotel’ that you would remember? Would love to put them together in one piece.

I put this topic on a food group (Foodadvisor) and requested members to remember the most famous ‘hotel’s they have eaten at. Here is a list that will continue to be edited and expanded. Leave your suggestions in the comment section and I will update the list.
