Hotel Tips

To maximize the quality of your stay, paying attention to room selection is crucial. Since the hotel sits on a bustling main artery of the city, noise pollution is the primary concern. When booking or checking in, explicitly request a room at the back of the property or on a higher floor. These units are significantly quieter and offer a much better sleep quality than those overlooking the main road, where traffic noise persists late into the night and starts early in the morning.

The hotel restaurant is a good bet if you’re squeamish about street food. One of the better fine-dining options in town, it’s also safe for travelers’ tummies. However, during wedding seasons (huge in this region), the hotel’s banquet halls can get busy – which might mean a crowded lobby or slower service in the restaurant. Ask reception if any big events are on while you stay.

Ahmednagar is a conservative city with a huge military presence. The vibe here is different from that of Mumbai or Pune. While the hotel is uber-modern, the city's pace outside is slow and traditional. If you have driven down, hand over your keys to the valet as soon as you arrive. Do not attempt to park on the street yourself; it’s chaotic, and traffic police are always waiting to fine someone for improper parking! Let them manage all vehicle logistics while you check in because they’re super-efficient at managing vehicles.
