The setting

Hotel Philips is located on the second floor of Srushti Arcade in Chandkheda and Motera, a northern suburb of Ahmedabad. The straight-line distance to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport is about 4.8 km. The Narendra Modi Stadium is about 2.3 km away in a straight line. Sabarmati Ashram is about 6.1 km, and the old city centre at Lal Darwaza and Bhadra Fort is about 10 km. SG Highway is about 13.5 km. The area has local shops and eateries.

Location and neighbourhood

The area is residential and quieter than the old city. Wide roads and open spaces make it easy to walk. The Narendra Modi Stadium at Motera is the major landmark. The Sabarmati river flows nearby, and the riverfront promenade is a good place for a stroll. The area's history is modern, tied to the stadium and the riverfront development. The Sabarmati Ashram, where Gandhi lived, is a short drive south. Walking here means broad avenues and views of the river.

Business travellers and tourists alike find it convenient. The stadium dominates the skyline. The ashram offers a quiet, reflective space. The riverfront path connects to Atal Bridge, a footbridge. The area has few historic monuments, but the river and the ashram give it a strong sense of Ahmedabad's modern story. Walking is pleasant along the river, but a vehicle is needed for most sights.

Getting there and around

Hotel Philips is around 4.8 km from the airport and 10 km from the walled city centre. The direct route along the riverfront road makes airport transfers straightforward. Autos and app cabs are the main ways to get around; the nearest metro station on the Red Line is a short ride from the area. The Sabarmati Riverfront promenade is walkable from the hotel. For local errands, the area's own markets and shops are within walking distance. The stadium area has its own bus stops and auto stands. Check the current metro network for connections to the old city and railway stations.

Nearby sights and food

Narendra Modi Stadium is the area's landmark. Its vast bowl is visible from many points. The Sabarmati Ashram, a 15-minute drive south, is a museum and a peaceful garden by the river. The ashram's museum, designed by Charles Correa, tells Gandhi's story. The riverfront promenade offers a long walking path with views of the water and bridges. Atal Bridge, a footbridge, connects the two banks. The Calico Museum of Textiles in Shahibaug requires a booked guided tour and is a short drive away. The area itself has few historic monuments, but the river and the ashram provide a strong sense of Ahmedabad's modern history.

Food in the area is largely vegetarian, as in the rest of the city. Local eateries serve Gujarati thalis, dhokla, khaman, and thepla. For a quick snack, look for fafda and jalebi at breakfast stalls. The evening food market at Law Garden is a 20-minute drive south and offers a wide range of street food. Undhiyu, a winter dish, is popular during Uttarayan. The area has its own small restaurants and sweet shops, but the best variety is found closer to the old city. The night food market near the old city's central square is a longer trip but worth it for the experience.

A day from Hotel Philips

A day from Hotel Philips starts with a walk along the Sabarmati Riverfront. The morning light is good for photos. Then drive to the Sabarmati Ashram. The museum is free to enter; check opening days. Spend an hour in the garden and the small rooms where Gandhi lived. From there, head to the Calico Museum of Textiles in Shahibaug. The guided tour must be booked ahead. The museum's collection of Indian textiles is world-class. For lunch, find a restaurant serving a Gujarati thali. In the afternoon, visit the old city. Walk through the pols, the gated lanes of carved havelis. See the Sidi Saiyyed Mosque's stone jali windows. End the day at the night food market near the old city's central square. Return to Hotel Philips by auto or cab.
