Vivanta Hyderabad, Begumpet

Vivanta Hyderabad, Begumpet is a Taj-group Vivanta hotel on Raj Bhavan Road in Begumpet, a central district of Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The location lies close to Begumpet Airport, which handles limited flights and private aviation, and sits between Secunderabad to the north and Hussain Sagar lake to the south-east. Banjara Hills and Somajiguda are a short drive away, and the Old City and Charminar are reachable across the city, though traffic on the main roads can be heavy. Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is much farther out, typically 45 to 60 minutes by road. The hotel is a contemporary property in the Vivanta style, with a modern, design-led look that differs from the heritage feel of Taj palace hotels. Rooms are offered as Superior Rooms, Premium Rooms and Suites. Dining includes restaurants and a bar, with a breakfast buffet and all-day menus that suit business and leisure guests. Listed facilities include a pool, a spa, a fitness centre and wifi. Service is business-oriented with a friendly, contemporary tone, and the central position makes it convenient for meetings in Begumpet, Somajiguda and Secunderabad. Leisure visitors can use the hotel as a base for Hussain Sagar, the Buddha statue and the city's main shopping streets. Rates run from around ₹7,000 to ₹14,000 per night, placing the hotel in the upper mid-range of Hyderabad's five-star market. Guests planning to visit both the Old City and HITEC City should factor in cab travel time, since Begumpet sits roughly midway between the two.
