Novotel Hyderabad Airport

Novotel Hyderabad Airport is a five-star airport hotel at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Shamshabad, Hyderabad, Telangana, India, about a five-minute drive from the terminal. The airport lies roughly 30 km south-west of the city centre, and the hotel serves transit passengers, early and late flights and business travellers visiting the Shamshabad area and the surrounding logistics and aerospace parks. The city centre, Banjara Hills and HITEC City are 30-40 km away, so the hotel is a convenience stay rather than a sightseeing base. The building is a modern, purpose-built airport hotel, with a large lobby, soundproofed rooms and facilities designed around flight schedules. Rooms include standard and larger categories with work desks and wifi, and suites are available for longer stays. Guests can use a pool, a fitness centre and a bar, and a restaurant offers 24-hour dining, which suits arrivals and departures at unusual hours. The hotel has meeting rooms for corporate use. The service character is business-oriented and efficient, and the property suits layovers, early departures and travellers who want to avoid the long airport transfer. The concierge desk can arrange transport to the city and taxis back to the airport. Rates typically run from about INR 7,500 to INR 16,000 per night, depending on demand. Guests planning to visit the city should factor in the 45 to 90 minute road journey, which varies with traffic, and it is worth confirming the airport shuttle arrangements when booking.
