Taj Skyline Ahmedabad

Taj Skyline Ahmedabad is a high-rise luxury hotel on Sindhu Bhavan Road in Bodakdev, on the western side of Ahmedabad in Gujarat, India. The area is a modern commercial and residential district close to the SG Highway, which is lined with restaurants, cafes and shopping. The old walled city, with its mosques and markets, lies across the Sabarmati river and is typically a 30 to 45 minute drive depending on traffic, and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport is a similar distance.

The hotel is a contemporary tower rather than a heritage building, and its upper floors give views across the city skyline. The style is polished and business-oriented, in keeping with the Taj brand. Accommodation is offered as Luxury Rooms, Luxury Suites and a Grand Suite, with air conditioning, wifi and the usual full-service touches expected at this level.

Facilities include an indoor swimming pool, a spa, and a fitness centre, which suit guests who want to recover after a day of meetings or sightseeing. The property has multiple restaurants and a bar, giving guests a choice between Indian and international cuisine, and a buffet breakfast is normally available. Because Gujarat is a dry state, alcohol service is limited by local licensing rules, and visitors should check current arrangements with the hotel.

Service is geared to corporate travellers, with a concierge, business facilities and event space, but the hotel also works for leisure visitors who prefer to be near the SG Highway dining strip and the newer parts of the city. Families are welcomed, and staff can arrange car hire and sightseeing to the Sabarmati Ashram, the Adalaj Stepwell and the Old City heritage walk. Rates generally run from about INR 9,000 to INR 17,000 per night, and the city's festival periods, including Navratri and the International Kite Festival in January, can raise prices and reduce availability.
