The Best Hotels To Book In Surat India

Surat hotels are generally found along the Tapti River or in the commercial districts cradled by its lazy meander. This means a choice of staying at the heart of the city bustle or escaping to watery views and river breezes. Either way, this commercial hub for everything from silver and diamonds to silk and printing is a true slice of Western India. Sights not to miss include 16th-century Surat Castle, the New Textile Market and the colonial-era British, Dutch and Armenian cemeteries. See them all when you stay at one of these Surat hotels, bookable on Culture Trip.
