A mid-range hotel a short distance from Somnath Temple and the beach, handy for the evening light-and-sound show.
Lords Inn Somnath is a mid-range hotel in Somnath, in Gir Somnath district on the Arabian Sea coast of Saurashtra in Gujarat, India. Somnath is home to the Somnath Temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlinga shrines of Shiva, rebuilt several times and standing directly on the shore. The hotel is a short distance from the temple and the beach, which makes it practical for pilgrims, and it is handy for the evening light-and-sound show held at the temple. Nearby sights include Triveni Sangam, the Bhalka Tirth site associated with Krishna, and the Somnath beach. Veraval, the fishing port, is around 6 km away, Junagadh is roughly 85 km north-east, and Sasan Gir is about 45 km away, so the hotel is a good stop in a Gir-and-Somnath circuit. The nearest railway station is at Veraval and the closest airport is at Diu, around 80 km away, with Rajkot further inland. The hotel is a modern, practical property with a devotional, family-oriented setting rather than heritage character. Rooms are offered as Deluxe Rooms and Suites, all air-conditioned, with wifi and 24-hour reception. Amenities include a restaurant serving vegetarian Gujarati and North Indian dishes, and the town generally has limited alcohol and non-vegetarian options. There is no pool or spa. Service is oriented to pilgrim groups and families, and staff can help with temple darshan timings and taxis. Rates commonly run from INR 3,500 to 6,500 per night. The hotel suits visitors wanting a comfortable, convenient stay for temple visits, and rooms can fill during festivals such as Mahashivratri.
