Complete Guide to Hotel Resorts and Homestays

By Lekhwar Hospitality

What is a Hotel Resort?

A hotel resort is a full-service accommodation that offers not just lodging, but also recreational facilities, dining, wellness services, and entertainment—all within the same property. Resorts are usually located in tourist destinations such as mountains, beaches, or forests.

Key Features:

  • Multiple room categories (standard, deluxe, villas)

  • On-site restaurants, spas, and pools

  • Adventure activities, sightseeing packages

  • Family-friendly or luxury-focused amenities

Best Locations:

  • Himachal Pradesh (Shimla, Manali)

  • Uttarakhand (Mussoorie, Nainital, Rishikesh)

  • Jaipur (heritage resorts)

  • Dehradun (forest & hill resorts)

 Ideal For:

  • Family vacations

  • Corporate retreats

  • Destination weddings

  • Wellness & yoga retreats

 What is a Homestay?

A homestay is a more personalized lodging experience, where guests stay in a local home—either sharing the home with the host or renting a private section. It offers a cultural, budget-friendly, and community-based stay.

 Key Features:

  • Limited rooms (usually 1–6 rooms)

  • Authentic local food & hospitality

  • Host interaction and cultural immersion

  • Lower setup cost, flexible operations

 Best Locations:

  • Uttarakhand villages and hill stations

  • Himachal Pradesh (Tirthan Valley, Spiti)

  • Rural Rajasthan

  • Suburbs of Lucknow, Dehradun, Nainital

 Ideal For:

  • Budget travelers

  • Backpackers

  • Nature lovers

  • Digital nomads
