Ahmedabad: A City of Heritage and Hospitality
India's first UNESCO World Heritage City is also one of its most welcoming. Explore Ahmedabad through the lens of art, architecture and authentic Gujarati food.
Walking the old city of Ahmedabad feels like stepping through centuries. The pols — traditional neighbourhood clusters — are a living museum of Indo-Saracenic architecture. The Swaminarayan Akshardham temple, Sidi Saiyyed Mosque, and the serene Sabarmati Ashram offer a profound cultural journey.
ARK Continental's Ahmedabad properties celebrate local heritage. Our interiors incorporate traditional block prints, Bandhani textiles, and hand-carved furniture sourced from local artisans. Guests enjoy thali dinners featuring 25+ authentic Gujarati preparations, and morning yoga sessions on the Sabarmati riverfront.
Ahmedabad is also an excellent base for day trips to Modhera Sun Temple and Rani ki Vav — two of Gujarat's most spectacular UNESCO sites.
