THE MEADOWS RESORT AND SPA, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar

The Meadows Resort And Spa is the only hotel in Aurangabad with a direct view of Bibi Ka Maqbara. Accommodations include private porches and mountain views, with rooms offering seating areas and satellite channels. The resort sits within tropical gardens that house over 50 species of birds, lotus ponds, and scenic lakes.

The Four Seasons restaurant & bar serves regional Indian cuisine plus European and Southeast Asian dishes. The poolside Marmalade Café offers snacks and beverages throughout the day. Due to the nationwide LPG crisis, shorter menus relying on alternative fuels are currently available.

The spa and wellness centre provides body scrubs, body wraps, and facial treatments alongside a steam room and sauna. An outdoor swimming pool with a shallow end and swimming pool toys is open all year. Yoga classes, personal trainer sessions, and bicycle rentals are available on-site.

Themed dinner nights and walking tours are organized by the hotel. Badminton equipment, darts, and a children's playground are provided for guests. The library offers resources on local history, Buddhism, and cave art related to Ajanta and Ellora.
