The setting

Fabhotel Acropole Inn is on the second floor of Galaxy Mall on Nehru Nagar, Ambawadi, opposite Jhasi Rani Statue. In a straight line, it is about 3.1 km from SG Highway at Iscon crossroads, 4.5 km from Lal Darwaza and Bhadra Fort, and 6.1 km from Sabarmati Ashram. The airport is about 12 km away and Kalupur station about 7 km.

Location and neighbourhood

The area is home to several shopping malls, multiplexes and casual dining options. The IIM Ahmedabad campus, designed by Louis Kahn, lies just to the south. Vastrapur attracts both business travellers and families who want a convenient base with easy access to the western suburbs. The atmosphere is contemporary and less hectic than the old city. The lake has a paved promenade, fountains and a small amphitheatre, busy in the early morning and after sunset.

Getting there and around

Getting to Fabhotel Acropole Inn is straightforward. The airport is around 11.7 km to the north-east, and the main railway station at Kalupur is around 6.6 km to the east. From both, app-based cabs and auto-rickshaws are available. The Ahmedabad Metro runs along the SG Highway, with a station within walking distance of the Vastrapur area. BRTS buses also connect the neighbourhood to other parts of the city. For local travel, auto-rickshaws are easy to flag down on the main roads. The neighbourhood is walkable around the lake and the nearby malls, but you will need transport for most other destinations. The metro and buses are reliable options during the day, and autos are widely available after dark.

Nearby sights and food

Vastrapur Lake is the centrepiece, with a paved promenade, fountains and a small amphitheatre. The lake is busy in the early morning and after sunset. The IIM Ahmedabad campus is worth a walk around its red-brick buildings, though entry to the academic areas is restricted. Several large malls are within a short auto ride, offering multiplex cinemas and air-conditioned shopping. The Sabarmati Riverfront and Atal Bridge are also within easy reach by auto, providing a pleasant evening stroll along the river.

Vastrapur is a strong choice for food lovers. The area is lined with restaurants serving Gujarati thalis, North Indian, South Indian and Chinese food. Many of these places are in the malls or along the main roads. For street food, the stalls around Vastrapur Lake and the nearby markets offer khaman, dhokla, fafda and jalebi. Law Garden, a short auto ride away, has an evening food market with a wide range of snacks and chaat. The neighbourhood also has several cafes that stay open late. Most food in Ahmedabad is vegetarian, and the quality is consistently good. The evening scene around the lake is lively, with families and groups enjoying the cool air and the food stalls.

A day from Fabhotel Acropole Inn

A day from Fabhotel Acropole Inn can start with a walk around Vastrapur Lake, followed by breakfast at a nearby café. Then take an auto to the Sabarmati Riverfront and walk across Atal Bridge.

In the late afternoon, return to Vastrapur and rest. In the evening, visit Law Garden night market for shopping and street food. End the day with a late dinner at one of the restaurants near Fabhotel Acropole Inn, sampling khandvi and thepla.
