It is no wonder that the bid to transform historical buildings into heritage hotels is in vogue throughout the globe. Though only a few people comprising a handful of intellectuals and literary critics consider this as a profanity and also a travesty, in reality this is the best way to conserve the uniqueness and the history. Are you one of these intellectuals and an ardent critic of this rising trend? If you are in reality, try to answer this question. How can they be conserved?
The majority of these buildings, in absence of proper preservations and helplessness of the concerned governmental authorities as well in these trying times, are becoming decrepit. What’s more some of them have been lost or become rubbles forever. Can you answer therefore? I’m sure you can’t. For that reason the recent approach of the Rocco Forte Collection’ Prague property must be credited and be given a standing ovation, at least. Though the project is under construction yet, it has been learnt that the Rocco Forte Collection is to open a five-star hotel in the heart of the Czech Republic capital, in the immediate neighborhood of Prague Castle.
In the hotel there will be 101 rooms and will be created from a complex of five buildings, most of which are historical monuments. Furthermore, the largest and foremost structure is St Thomas’s Monastery, which dates to the 1400s. Now, you may be amazed to know that this process has already been started in several parts of the world like India.
India is not only one of the most famed tourist centers of the world owing to its picturesque beauty and confluence of religions but has also been a land of several dynasties and historical places. For this simple reason, there are innumerable historical buildings throughout the country and a lot of them were decrepit. Nevertheless, the decision to convert them into heritage hotels by the royal dynasties has saved a lot of them. Two of these notable places happen to be Rajputana Palace Sheraton Hotel in Jaipur and Umaid Bhawan in the same city.
Both of them have already earned acclaims from tourists and also from a number of dignitaries on account of their gallant architectures and rich Indian traditions of hospitality. These two have already created sensations in and outside of India and following this great success more historical buildings in India are deciding to adopt this approach. There is nothing wrong in this and should be done. What do you think now?
