Hotel Accolade

About Hotel Accolade

Hotel Accolade suits travellers who want a central West Ahmedabad base near the river and the old city. The hotel is on the Ellisbridge side, a short walk from the Sabarmati Riverfront and Atal Bridge. It works well for couples exploring the walled city, families needing a straightforward stay, and business visitors who value a 24-hour front desk and free parking.

The score reflects a solid, no-frills stay rather than luxury. Expect air-conditioned rooms, a restaurant, room service and free wifi. The location is the main draw, putting you within easy reach of Law Garden, Sidi Saiyyed Mosque and the Bhadra Fort area.
