3-star hotels in Lonavla
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Lonavla, sorted so you can match the right stay to the right trip. Every hotel here is a 3-star property with its own guest rating and facilities, from the main town to the hills toward Aamby Valley.
Staying in Lonavla
Lonavla and its twin town Khandala sit close together in a well-known hill area, visited for natural scenery, trekking routes and the ancient Karla and Bhaja caves. The town is a popular weekend getaway from Mumbai and Pune, easily reached by road and rail. Most of the hotels on this list are in or near Lonavla Town, along the Old Mumbai Pune Highway or on Gold Valley Road and Ins Shivaji Road, so the railway station, markets and restaurants are close by. That spread suits different trips. Couples can pick a quieter resort away from the town, families get pools, kids pools and playgrounds, and business travellers have banquet and business facilities in the town. For a short break, the town hotels keep you within walking distance of local amenities.
