Hotels in Hyderabad

Staying in Hyderabad

South of the Musi river lies the old city, with the Charminar, the bazaars and the Mecca Masjid. North of it, the lake of Hussain Sagar sits at the centre, with Secunderabad, the twin city with its own railway station, on its northern shore and the hotel districts of Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills to the west. Beyond them, HITEC City and Gachibowli are the technology and financial districts, with their own cluster of business hotels. Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is well to the south of the city at Shamshabad, and the road in is a raised highway that bypasses the old city and comes into the centre from the south. The meet and greet at the airport listed on this page is arranged through AI Concierge with the hotel, which helps if you are arriving late or do not know the city. For meetings in HITEC City or Gachibowli, stay in the west; the centre is far enough away in traffic to be an evening out, not a commute. Banjara Hills is the middle ground, with restaurants, the better hotels and reasonable access across the city. The old city and the Charminar are a day trip from anywhere; few visitors sleep there.
