Fodor's Expert Review Vivanta Hari Mahal by Taj

Outside the Old City, this bustling hotel offers a respite from the hustle and bustle, and what it lacks in excitement, it makes up for in hospitality and subdued charm—and children will enjoy the nightly puppet show. The modern rooms are tasteful and spacious with rich furnishings, though they lack the artful decorations of other hotels in the city. Some rooms overlook the pool and some the garden, and second-floor rooms have small balconies. Latitude, the multicuisine restaurant with a large breakfast buffet, is open all day. For a drink, Ola, which is open all afternoon and evening, serves cocktails and bar snacks.
