Hotel Sukhdham Kothi (Kota, India)

Sukhdham means the Abode of Bliss and that is what the visitor experiences. The building is an excellent blend of English and Indian architecture. With it open terraces, cool arcades, foliated arches and intricately carved stone screens, Sukhdham is set in a lush orchard. The fifteen well appointed rooms have been tastefully furnished to maintain the character of a heritage home. The natural surroundings provide a safe habitat for a variety of birds. For the bird lovers it is a paradise – what with a peacock dancing around while you sip your morning tea. The fragrance of the scented trees and shrubs along the walkways; the smell of mango blossom in spring and the multitude of birds in the mango groves are some of the memories a visitor takes back with him.
