4- and 5-star hotels in Orchha
A shortlist of the 4- and 5-star hotels in Orchha, the former Bundelkhand capital on the Betwa River. It is for travellers who want a pool, a spa or a full-service restaurant after a day among the palaces and temples.
Staying in Orchha
Orchha was founded in the 16th century by Rudra Pratap Singh and served as the capital of the Bundelkhand region. Its landmarks are close together: the Jahangir Mahal, built to commemorate the visit of Mughal Emperor Jahangir, the Raj Mahal with its intricate murals, the Chaturbhuj Temple and the Ram Raja Temple, the only temple in India where Lord Rama is worshipped as a king. The cenotaphs along the Betwa River are particularly striking at sunset. The town's compact size makes it easy to explore on foot or by bicycle, and its atmosphere is peaceful compared with busier tourist destinations. Several are in Orchha Village, the main area of hotels, restaurants and shops, within walking distance of the palaces and temples. Others name the Orchha Jhansi Highway or Ram Mandir Road near the Betwa River. The closest to the centre are Orchha Stay Inn, Shri Sarju Palace, Hotel Kamla Heritage Orchha and Hotel Jaanvi Orchha, all within 0.5 km. Couples, families and short-break visitors are all served, from the 3644-review Orchha Palace and Convention Centre to the farmstay at Bundeli Kothi.
