Ahmedabad might not be a tourist hub, nor does it have that many attractions to be one, but it is a transit city with something to offer. Although it is in Gujarat, it has the closest international airport to some Indian gems in the area, including the vast array of tourist activities the south of Rajasthan has to offer. As a result, one night’s stay in this bustling city is a must for many travellers. Also, Gujarat is the fastest growing state in India in terms of business and industry.
Because of that phenomenon (and until Udaipur gets its much-talked-about international airport), Ahmedabad is the starting point for many tourists. Therefore, the best way to do it is to stay at the Hyatt Ahmedabad Hotel.
Hyatt Ahmedabad sits on one of the nicer neighborhoods in Ahmedabad. It’s near Vastrapur Lake and across the street from one of India’s biggest malls – the AlphaOne Mall (Established in the year 2011 to cater tourist and local customers with international brands, it is the largest shopping mall in Ahmedabad as well as in the state Gujarat).
The hotel has, undoubtedly, the best pool in the city – an infinity pool on the 2nd floor overlooking the crammed streets and the mall. The service is duly impeccable with careful consideration to what’s needed for both the business traveller and the leisure lover. The restaurants (2 of which and one bakery) have some of the best dining experiences in this dry state (only non-alcoholic beer – also, bring your permit if you bought anything from Duty-Free). If you have to stay in Ahmedabad, this is the hotel of choice!
