Ahmedabad (Amdavad)
The Atrium is nothing if not overstated. There's a quarry's worth of marble in reception and the very comfortable rooms have thick pseudo-leather bedheads and superb soundproofing. Some of the rooms have river views. The indoor swimming pool is a work of art, and there’s a spa and sauna, too, plus good on-site dining.
Check the website for current prices and special offers. It's just north of Nehru Bridge.
