The Best Hotels Near Hotel Irada, Pune Wine Country, by the Record
-
A European chateau with a soaring tower and terracotta roof rising from the agricultural flatlands of Maharashtra is either an act of ambition or a fever dream, and Hotel Irada leans into both. The 32-room resort sits on a working winery estate two hours from Pune, with cellar tastings, an Italian restaurant, an all-day pool club, and a spa program run by Ananda in the Himalayas. Rooms lean burgundy and flea-market France.

Damask wallpaper, tufted upholstery, and chandeliers are what you get when a Ritz-Carlton opens beside a historic golf course in the middle of Pune. The 198 rooms look out over either the fairways or the city skyline, and the 18th floor Club Lounge keeps things residential. The food options are unusually broad for a hotel, running from around-the-clock Indian, Asian, and Western to a modern Japanese restaurant, with a rooftop bar to cap it all off.
