Fodor's Expert Review The Meadows

Accommodations at this resort-style hotel, which has won architectural awards, are in simple cottages, each with a private patio, and though rooms are a bit spartan, it's wonderfully tranquil. It's eco-conscious, too: biotechnology using plant roots purifies the air and wastewater. The hotel is ideal for kids—the grounds, with trees and flowers, provide space to run around, and rabbits, parrots, and other birds flit about. The restaurant serves tasty Indian and continental food, and a courtesy bus goes to the city four times a day.
