Telangana is a landlocked state in south-central India on the Deccan Plateau, home to Hyderabad, the Qutb Shahi and Nizam heritage of Golconda and Charminar, and the Kakatiya temples of Warangal and Ramappa.
Accommodation overview
Hyderabad holds most of Telangana's accommodation, from Telangana Tourism Haritha hotels and Abids or Ameerpet economy hotels through mid-range Lemon Tree, Novotel and Radisson properties to luxury stays such as ITC Kakatiya, Park Hyatt and the Taj Falaknuma Palace. Banjara Hills suits first-time visitors for dining and central access, HITEC City suits business travel, and Secunderabad or Begumpet offers value near the rail links.

Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.
Hyderabad business hotels fill on weekdays; rates often drop on weekends, so leisure travellers can find better weekend deals

Staying in Banjara Hills or Begumpet reduces traffic time; HITEC City is far from the Old City sights, often 45-90 minutes in peak traffic
