Glorious Hotels of India is a luxury illustrated non-fiction book featuring a hand-picked collection of the subcontinent's most spectacular places to stay. It gives a grand yet intimate tour of 40 properties, with half of the properties being recent openings. The majority have never been featured before in a publication of this kind.

Glorious Hotels of India is a journey through over 30 of the most intriguing hotels across the country. All have been chosen for their unique spirit, and many have never been seen before in a book.

India's rich heritage and contemporary design properties are displayed through sumptuous images and text. In this updated edition of the bestselling book, authors Cosmo Brockway and Harriet Compston have curated these hidden gems, which are scattered through jungles, beaches, and tropical cities.

This is a languid and sensuous look at some of the loveliest hotels in India. Experience Mughal hunting baghs, laced with pavilions and frangipani, soak up the salt-scented charm of seafront villas and gaze upon urban boutique hotels. Every page glints with the promise of a new discovery. The lighting is atmospheric and the textiles and paintings ravish the eye. Each new look reveals an unseen detail - a Nizam's crystal fan, a serene carved Nandi, and a mother-of-pearl reflection of the Taj Mahal in a frescoed bathroom.
