In this issue of Hotel Business Review, we have focused on heritage hotels, which seem to have great business potential in the Indian hospitality industry. In many of these properties one can get a feel of the royalty and romance of the by gone era with an array of amenities and facilities of the post-modern era. The burning issue of paucity of skilled manpower and high attrition levels in the Indian hospitality industry is examined in our Business Story. The features on elevators and escalators, on Lavasa, and on spa cuisine are some of the other highlights of this issue.
