Amritsar is the spiritual and cultural heart of Sikhism in Punjab, a holy city named for the pool of nectar that surrounds its glorious Golden Temple, Harmandir Sahib, completed in 1601. In the prime Ranjit Avenue district, the Best Western Merrion, Amritsar, India, makes a contemporary base for taking in the beauty and devotion of the city, from the temple to the memorial gardens of Jallianwala Bagh.
Designed in a contemporary style with quality finishes, the hotel brings together a spacious multi-cuisine restaurant, a bar, a coffee shop, three conference rooms, and a banquet hall, with a poolside open kitchen and lounge for relaxed evenings out of the heat. A rooftop pool and an attached gymnasium round out the stay, a comfortable retreat in a prime part of the city.
When the day is done, the golden domes of Amritsar are a short ride away, and the Wagah border ceremony waits beyond the city.
