Gujarat’s long history and diverse culture is reflected in its heritage sites like archaeological excavations, monuments, holy places, institutions, palaces, forts, havelis, etc. A hidden gem with a rich history and vibrant art scene, it is opening up to tourism with its stunning heritage hotels. These properties, ranging from forts and palaces to colonial villas and rural estates, offer a unique blend of historical charm and modern comforts.
The heritage hotels of Gujarat are set in diverse landscapes—orchards, gardens, forests, coastal areas, hills, and the countryside. Visitors can walk through grand halls adorned with teakwood furniture, European chandeliers, ancestral portraits, and historical memorabilia. Rooms once reserved for maharajas and important guests now welcome contemporary travellers.
HTA is a society and trust incorporated with the aim of encouraging the owners or custodians of heritage residential properties to convert these buildings into tourism assets. It has played an important role in influencing policies and regulations relevant to the heritage tourism industry.
