ITC Kakatiya

ITC Kakatiya is a long-standing five-star hotel at 6-3-1187 in Begumpet, Hyderabad, Telangana. Begumpet is a central-north district of the city between Secunderabad and Banjara Hills, and the hotel sits close to the Begumpet metro station, which gives it a transit link that many of the city's luxury hotels lack. The former Begumpet airport area and the government and commercial districts of Ameerpet and Somajiguda are nearby, while Hussain Sagar lake and the Necklace Road area are a short drive south. The hotel is part of the ITC Hotels group and is one of the older luxury addresses in the city, so its atmosphere leans towards established, formal hospitality rather than the glass-tower style of the newer HITEC City properties. Room types include the Deluxe Room, Executive Club Room and Suite, and rates run from about INR 8,500 to 28,000 per night. Dining is a strong point. The Dakshin restaurant is known for South Indian regional cooking, and Kebabs and Kurries is ITC's signature North Indian grill concept, with the hotel also running a bar and additional dining options. The breakfast service is typically extensive, in the manner of ITC properties. Facilities include an outdoor pool, a spa, a fitness center, a business center and wifi. Service is polished and business-oriented, and the hotel attracts corporate guests, wedding and event parties, and visitors who value a central location with metro access. It is a practical base for both business and sightseeing, since Charminar, Salar Jung Museum and Golconda Fort can each be reached by taxi, and the metro can be used for parts of the journey. Guests wanting a quieter resort-style stay may prefer a lakeside or hilltop property, but for location and dining reputation the hotel is among the more dependable five-star choices in Hyderabad.
