Taj Deccan

Taj Deccan is a compact five-star hotel on Road No. 1 in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, Telangana, India, one of three Taj hotels clustered in the district. Its position places it within a short drive of the Banjara Hills restaurant and shopping streets, corporate offices, hospitals and the business areas of Jubilee Hills and Somajiguda. HITEC City is about 10 km west, and Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is roughly 30 km away by road. The hotel is smaller and more intimate than its neighbours, which appeals to business travellers who want a quieter stay and a shorter lobby-to-room walk. Rooms are in the luxury category and are complemented by suites, with work desks, wifi and city views as standard features. Guests can use a fitness area and a business centre, and the hotel operates meeting rooms for small corporate events. Dining is handled by an in-house restaurant and bar, with breakfast served daily and a menu that mixes Hyderabadi specialities and international dishes. The concierge can arrange local car hire and sightseeing to Golconda Fort, the Charminar area, Salar Jung Museum and the Hussain Sagar lake. The service style is business-oriented and efficient, and the property suits short stays and travellers who want Taj standards at a somewhat lower profile than the largest hotels. Rates are usually about INR 7,000 to INR 18,000 per night, which places it in the middle of the city's five-star range. Because of the number of Taj hotels along Road No. 1, arrivals by taxi should quote the full hotel name and address, and travellers should verify the property in confirmation emails before travelling.
