Vivanta by Taj, Madikeri, Coorg, has made it to the Conde Nast Traveller US, UK and India’s Hot List 2013.

The Conde Nast Traveller list showcases some of the most authentic havens for travellers across the globe. The list is published every year.

Situated at an altitude of 4,000 feet within 180 acres of a subtropical rainforest, the review says the hotel is the perfect retreat for nature lovers and sybarites. It offers panoramic vistas of the mountains. The surrounding rainforest’s lush canopies are home to over 350 species of flora and fauna.

Each Vivanta by Taj hotel presents experiences rooted in the local culture. At the Madikeri hotel, guests can get their hands dirty in a 2500 square feet pottery studio, or interpret an elusive rainforest with the `rainforest insider’, or explore the Vivanta Conservatory: a living chronicle of the land of Kodavas, or enjoy a personalised 101 candles dining experience in a large outdoor amphitheatre, or listen in on Dr Belliappa, the noted historian of Coorg, as he narrates tales from Madikeri.

The two-year-old brand, Vivanta by Taj, was ranked 36 in the Top 50 most sought after hotel brands in the world in the World Luxury Index 2013, compiled by the Digital Luxury Group, in association with Ecole Hoteliere and the Luxury Society, which is an international ranking and analysis of the most searched for brands within the luxury industry.
