Ahmedabad
Ahmedabad, Gujarat’s shimmering metropolis, invites luxury travelers into a world where timeless heritage meets contemporary indulgence. Check into a lavish suite at the historic House of MG or a riverside room at the Hyatt Regency overlooking the Sabarmati Riverfront, and let the city unfold like a private gallery of stories and sensations. Begin at the Sabarmati Ashram, wandering through Gandhi’s serene quarters before slipping back into modern opulence with a sunset cruise along the Sabarmati Riverfront, its promenades glowing with artful lighting and gourmet cafés. Step into the spellbinding Adalaj Stepwell, where carved pillars and cool subterranean corridors create a natural sanctuary from the city’s warmth, perfect for photographers and seekers of quiet beauty. Spend an afternoon at the Calico Museum of Textiles, viewing regal fabrics once woven for maharajas. Continue to the Sidi Saiyyed Mosque, famed for its stone lattice “Tree of Life” window, then stroll Manek Chowk by night for dazzling jewelry lanes and elevated street‑food tastings arranged by premium food tours. Reserve a table at Agashiye for a rooftop Gujarati thali served on golden platters, or savor inventive tasting menus at high‑end restaurants in Prahladnagar and Sindhu Bhavan Road. Between excursions, unwind with Ayurvedic spa rituals or private yoga sessions in your hotel’s tranquil courtyard. End your luxury trip with a day excursion to the majestic Sarkhej Roza complex and shopping for hand‑block prints and bandhani silks, leaving Ahmedabad wrapped in color, craftsmanship and unforgettable comfort.
