"Around here we prize memorable hotel experiences above all else. Sometimes that means surprises, stylistic innovations, or audacious experiments. And other times, that means traditional hospitality practiced at the highest level — nothing revolutionary, just excellence. The latter category is what earns the Taj hotels their reputation, and the 2017-vintage Taj Swarna is a prime example. Here in the Punjabi city of Amritsar, any daring architectural statement has no less than the monumental Golden Temple to contend with. So the Taj opts for a certain stately warmth, and a contemporary look that pays tribute to India’s traditions even as it keeps one foot firmly in the present." - Tablet Hotels
