Patna hotels

For visitors who want to get their culture fix and learn about the artefacts and relics of the peoples and civilisations who settled in India in bygone times, a hotel in the vicinity of the state-of-the-art, child-friendly Bihar Museum and the nearby Patna museum would be an ideal choice. The Hotel Patlipura Ashok is centrally located within walking distance from both of these museums, as well as the Old Museum, which houses paintings, sculptures and pottery.

Travellers who want to visit the city but still have access to a green space to walk or jog, should consider staying in a hotel near Eco Park, which has large green spaces to relax in, two lakes where visitors can take boat rides and several sculpture-lined pathways as well as jogging tracks. The 4-star Hotel Chanakya is an upmarket choice that is within walking distance.

Travelling for business? Select from one of the numerous hotels in the Exhibition Road financial district of the Patna city centre. The famous Hotel The Panache is a 4-star choice in this area, whereas the Hotel Vila Shree Deluxe is an option for travellers with a tight budget.

Staying in the Patna city centre puts you within easy reach of some of the main attractions this ancient city has to offer, such as the Buddha Smitri Park which houses the ashes of Buddha inside the main building, called a stupa. Golghar and the Gandhi Maidan Park are also in this area. The Gargee Grand Patna is a 4-star choice just a few minutes’ drive from these attractions.

If you’re travelling with your family, you may wish to find accommodation near the Sanjay Gandhi Biological Park, which started out as a botanical garden and later expanded to include a well-maintained zoo. It is home to hundreds of species of trees, herbs, shrubs, birds and animals, and is well-known for its successful rhino breeding programme. A family-friendly option to stay nearby is The Buddha Inn.
