Uttar Pradesh: lebua Lucknow

When North India’s capital of grace and culture says “adab arz hai”, it’s only polite to reply “shukriya” and submit. Lucknow beckons again, as the lebua Lucknow throws open its doors to jaded travellers looking to immerse themselves in the sophistications of a bygone era. This early 19th-century haveli has been lovingly restored and renovated in true Art Deco style to offer guests an authentic boutique heritage experience. The charming property offers 41 rooms, lush green lawns and sprawling courtyards and terraces. Inaugural Rs 3,000 discount: Rs 6,999 for doubles, including breakfast. See www.lebua.com/lebua-lucknow
