Andhra Art & Craft Hotel

Situated in the heritage wing of Palm Beach Hotel, the Andhra Art and Craft Hotel in Vishakhapatnam is a pioneering establishment—globally recognized as the first-ever handicrafts hotel. The hotel redefines hospitality by seamlessly integrating elements from four time-honoured crafts native to Andhra Pradesh—Etikoppaka, Bommalata, Kalamkari, and Budithi—into its 24 uniquely designed rooms. Every piece of art and decor within the hotel is a labour of love from local artisans, serving as narrative threads that recount intriguing tales and reveal the nuanced evolution of the region’s artistic legacy. As guests wander through its evocatively ornamented corridors and rooms, they are transported into the rich cultural mosaic of Andhra Pradesh’s artisanal heritage.
