4-star hotels in Vadodara
A shortlist of 4-star hotels in Vadodara, from railway-station addresses to resorts on the city's edge. It is for travellers who want a rated, full-service stay while seeing the palaces, gardens and museums of Gujarat's cultural capital.
Staying in Vadodara
Vadodara is often called the cultural capital of Gujarat, and a visit here turns on museums, art galleries and festivals, the Maharaja Sayajirao University campus, and landmarks such as Laxmi Vilas Palace, Sayaji Garden and the Baroda Museum and Picture Gallery. The food scene mixes Gujarati, Maharashtrian and international cooking, so days can move from a palace to a plate of dhokla without much planning.
The hotels on this shortlist sit in Alkapuri, Sayajigunj and Akota, three of the city's established stay districts. Alkapuri is central and upscale, with restaurants and shopping and the railway station close by; Sayajigunj is the busy area around the university and Sayaji Garden; Akota is a developing quarter near the Akota Stadium and quieter by night. Couples and short-break visitors do best in Alkapuri or Sayajigunj, families are served by the family rooms and pools on the list, and business travellers will find business centres and meeting rooms in the Akota and Alkapuri properties.
