The stay decisions worth flagging in Ahmedabad.
Ahmedabad (now Karnavati) is the Gujarat capital — Sabarmati Ashram, Adalaj Stepwell, Pols old-city heritage walks, vegetarian street food. Stay scene has a modern business tier (Hyatt Regency, Taj Skyline, Marriott Ahmedabad) and a distinctive heritage tier (House of MG, Mangaldas Ni Haveli). Pick heritage for Pols walks and old-city food tours; pick Hyatt/Taj for business or airport proximity.
Hyatt Regency Ahmedabad is Gujarat's default business 5-star — ~₹12-18k rates. The House of MG (Pols heritage house-hotel in the old city) is a different category at similar pricing: 17 rooms in a restored haveli, the only serious heritage stay in Ahmedabad. The trade-off is modern comfort (Hyatt) vs. Pols old-city immersion (House of MG).
