Stories inspire us, stories divide us, stories unite us. Each city, every street has its own story to tell. Cities have attracted travellers and settlers for aeons, weaving into their tapestry innumerable stories of love, strife and happiness.

Nowhere is the culture and spirit of the city more pronounced than its downtown. The Downton hotels are a true reflection of their cities. We believe the next decade is the time for smaller Indian cities to come into their own. We want to be there to share the legend as it unfolds. With the first Downton in Raipur, we have identified a number of dreamy small cities on the verge of burgeoning.
