Amritsar is undergoing a revolution. There's news of all kinds of business hotels going up, and the Punjab's first five-star hotel, Ista Amritsar, opened in early 2009. Of the fairly decent midrange hotels, your best option is the Ritz Plaza Hotel (45 The Mall; tel. 0183/256-2836 through -2839; www.ritzhotel.in), which has comfortable rooms, a pool, and all the standard facilities for around Rs 4,400 double (including breakfast). But if you'd prefer a more personal environment, the two guesthouse options below offer not only value for money, but a more memorable experience.
