Weekend Itinerary Around Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya, Ahmedabad

Abhijit Bandyopadhyay · 1 month ago ·20 replies

I’m planning a quick weekend in Ahmedabad and want to see the Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya first thing. The museum is open 24 hours and entry is free, so I can visit any time. A few kilometres away is the Sabarmati Riverfront and a short walk can take me to Bhadra Fort if I have the time. Should I book a stay at a nearby hotel like ARTILLA INN, or would another option be better for easy access to the museum and the riverfront?

ARTILLA INN is only about 800 metres from the Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya, so you can hop out and hit the museum right away. It’s also a short walk to the Sabarmati Riverfront, and the hotel’s central location means you’ll be just a few minutes from Bhadra Fort if you want to add that. The rooms are well rated and the free Wi Fi is handy for quick navigation.

If you’re only looking for a quick stay and want the museum as your first stop, ARTILLA INN is a solid pick because it’s only a minute’s walk from the Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya. The same walk takes you to the Sabarmati Riverfront, and you can easily hop over to Bhadra Fort in a short drive or taxi if you’re short on time. If you’d rather have a quieter spot with a bit more space, the 3 BY OYO Nami Residency is just a bit farther but still within a 10 minute walk to both the museum and the riverfront.

If you’re hoping to hit the museum first thing and then stroll to the riverfront, the 3 BY OYO Nami Residency is only a 2 minute walk from the Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya and a short walk to the Sabarmati Riverfront. It’s a bit quieter than ARTILLA INN, but still keeps you within a few minutes of all the key spots.

If you want a bit more space without moving far, the Apricot Hotel Ahmedabad is about 3.3 km from the Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya and still within a short taxi ride to the riverfront. It keeps you close enough to walk to the museum early in the morning and then stroll to the riverfront later.

If you want a quieter stay but still within a few minutes of the museum, the 3 BY OYO Nami Residency is a good choice. It’s only a two minute walk from Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya and still close to the Riverfront, so you can hop out early for the museum and then stroll to the river later.

If you’re looking for a bit more space and a quieter vibe while still being close to the museum, Four Points by Sheraton Ahmedabad is only about 3.6 km away. It’s within a short taxi ride to the Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya and the Riverfront, and its rooms are larger than those at the smaller inns. That might give you a more relaxed stay without sacrificing convenience. TravelIndiaDeals may earn a commission if you book through this link.

You might also consider staying a bit farther out, like the Apricot Hotel Ahmedabad, which is about 3.3 km from the Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya. It still puts you within a quick taxi ride to the riverfront, and the hotel’s rooms are a bit larger than those at the inn, giving you a bit more space for a quick weekend stay.

You might also consider the 440 a serene stay. It sits just under 0.38 km from the Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya, so you can hop out in a minute and head straight to the museum. The walk to the Sabarmati Riverfront is a few minutes longer, but still easy on foot, giving you a quick stroll before the river views.
