Experience the best of Hospitality

Hotels

Home Away From Home

Cox and Kings offers you the best hospitality with an ambience and
comfort of quality hotels.

From comfort of an ultra modern hotel to the classic elegance of
traditional ambience, they all have the Cox and Kings endorsement of
service and excellence.

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.

Your Cox and Kings Tour Managers will make you feel at ease. They

Most coaches have built-in emergency washroom facilities, but are not
designed to be regular washrooms. Please utilise the frequent stops for
you to use the rest rooms and enjoy a cup of coffee.

Food Glorious Food

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, cornflakes 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
