Hotel Royal Highness

Ahmedabad (Amdavad)


While it may not be fit for a prince, for less royal types this is a fine hotel, with huge, tasteful and clean rooms that are just a little scuffed around the edges. Deluxe rooms feature zebra-print furnishings and sparkling bathrooms with big glassed-in showers. There's 24-hour room service and helpful staff, all in a great location.
