Hotels
Cox and Kings offers you the best hospitality with an ambience and
comfort of quality hotels.
Every Cox and Kings hotel matches our standards for a comfortable
stay. Most hotels have more twin rooms.
Single rooms are much smaller than twin bedded rooms, which have
two separate beds. Double rooms, on request, are subject to availability.
Where a double is not available, a twin room will be provided. Triple
rooms are usually no larger than twin rooms, and the third bed is often
a rollaway bed or cot placed in a twin room. It is more comfortable to
get a separate bed for a child sharing a room.
All hotels have modern facilities such as attached toilets with showers /
bath tubs and telephones.
*V_HUK2PUNZc+\UP`H+LROVc
There is nothing like a Cox and Kings holiday in the Europe to whet
one’s appetite for food. Breakfasts are always buffets except in Europe
and the UK. Hot or cold spreads, depending on the region of stay, such
as fruits, yoghurt, cakes, cold cuts, cornakes with milk, cheese, eggs,
breads, rolls, croissants, preserves, butter, juice, tea and coffee. Lunch
consists mainly of an Indian vegetarian buffet and dinner includes
vegetarian and non-vegetarian. You will be served two main dishes for
dinner plus dal, rice or pulao or biryani or khichdi, salad, pickles, puris
mostly at lunches and naans or parathas or phulkas mostly at dinners
and a sweet dish.
