5-star hotels in Ujjain
Five 5-star hotels in Ujjain, chosen for travellers who want the city's top class of stay close to its temples and ghats. The addresses run from the Mahakal area to Nanakheda and the Indore road, with distances to the centre as short as 0.2 km.
Staying in Ujjain
Ujjain has a history reaching back to the Mahabharata era and was a centre of learning where King Vikramaditya and the poet Kalidasa are said to have lived. Today it is a busy pilgrimage destination mixing ancient heritage with modern amenities; visitors come for its temples, ghats and the observatory built by Maharaja Jai Singh II.
These hotels sit mostly in the Mahakal area and the lanes around it, with the spiritual heart of the city, the Mahakaleshwar Temple and the Shipra River ghats, an easy walk away. Several are on Ravi Shankar Nagar, Danigate, Tilak Marg and Gada Puliya within 0.2 to 0.9 km of the centre; the rest spread east towards Nanakheda, near Ujjain Junction railway station and the bus stand, and the Indore road. The tight cluster close in suits couples and short-break visitors who want to walk to the temple, while the larger family rooms and the garden property on Rinmukteshwar Marg serve families and those arriving by train.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around

When to go
The best time to visit Ujjain is from October to March, when the weather is pleasant and suitable for sightseeing and temple visits.

Major festivals like Mahashivratri and Simhastha Kumbh Mela draw large crowds, so plan accordingly if you want to avoid or join the festivities.
