- 01
Yagnik Road and the central city

Best for: Families who want malls, restaurants and wider roads
Good to know: Newer hotels, malls and restaurants line this side of the city, with easier parking. It is further from the old museums, so allow extra time by cab for sightseeing.

Race Course ring road
Best for: Older travellers who want a calmer base with space to walk
Good to know: The ring road area has parks, sports grounds and several restaurants, and is a comfortable place for morning and evening walks. It is a short ride from the central museums.

Before you book
What to check when booking for older travellers
- Ask for a lift, or a ground-floor room — many heritage hotels have steps and no lift.
- Check how far the hotel is from the sights you care about, in minutes by road, not kilometres.
- Prefer free cancellation until close to the date, in case plans or health change.
- Look for 24-hour reception, in-house dining and a doctor-on-call policy.
- Read recent reviews for noise — old-city streets and wedding venues can be loud late.
