Vintage Hotels are set to get into a new dimension very soon, if the proposal by the Railway Ministry sees the light of the day.

According to the proposal, as explained by a senior official in the Railway Ministry, un-operational original coaches of the famous Palace on Wheels train will be refurbished and altered into vintage hotels cum restaurants and set up at various locations across the country, which could either be prominent tourist destinations or someplace easily accessible from prominent tourist destinations.

The proposal does mention a few locations, such as near the Rewari Steam Care Centre, where a lot of tourists keen on seeing steam locomotive history foray into, or a place like the Brar Square in Delhi Cantonment, or in cities like Udaipur or Jaipur which have a prominent cultural heritage.

This proposal has been sent to the IRCTC by the Heritage wing of the Railways, in which such vintage hotels cum restaurants would be built in the original coaches, seven of which are lying at the National Rail Museum, of the nine from the Palace on Wheels – reminding one of the luxury in which the Maharajas travelled in their times.

Such thematic hotels and restaurants which the Railway giant has proposed to construct on original coaches of the Palace on Wheels is set to get the Rail and cultural enthusiasts unwind and enjoy great meals and short meals in such unique ambience.
