Hotel Avaante, Ahmedabad: A Rooftop Restaurant and Comfortable Rooms on the SP Ring Road
Hotel Avaante occupies the fifth floor of the Madhav Orchid Complex on SP Ring Road in Odhav, a commercial area on Ahmedabad’s eastern fringe. It is a compact, well-priced property — 22 rooms across three categories — that punches above its size on food and hospitality, and has built a following largely on the strength of its rooftop restaurant and its staff.
Location
The hotel sits near Odhav Circle on SP Ring Road, a practical position for business travelers moving around the city’s industrial and commercial corridors. Swaminarayan Akshardham is around 7 km away, the Auto World Vintage Car Museum is a ten-minute drive, and Ahmedabad’s main railway station is roughly the same. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport is 11 km away.
The surrounding area is functional rather than atmospheric — this is not a leisure neighborhood — but the ring road location makes it convenient for onward travel in most directions.
Rooms
The hotel has ten Deluxe Rooms at 14 square metres (150 sq ft), ten Executive Rooms at 26 square metres (280 sq ft), and two Suites at 30 square metres (325 sq ft). All include air conditioning, flat-screen television, free Wi-Fi, mini-refrigerator, and breakfast. Suites add a Jacuzzi bathtub and sofa bed. City views are standard across categories.
Rooms are clean and the beds comfortable, but the Deluxe category in particular is small, and some of the rooms short on basic amenities. Executive Rooms, with nearly double the floor space and a proper wardrobe, are the more comfortable choice for anything beyond a quick overnight.
Food and Drink
The rooftop terrace restaurant is the hotel’s standout feature. It serves Indian and international dishes across a 220-person capacity space split between two air-conditioned halls and an outdoor terrace garden. The food is fresh, well-prepared, and popular enough with non-residents to fill up on busy evenings. Live music at dinner is a genuine plus.
Facilities and Service
Beyond the restaurant, the hotel has a banquet hall well-suited to weddings, conferences, and social events, a 24-hour front desk, daily housekeeping, tour desk, currency exchange, and free on-site parking. The terrace and garden add outdoor space that the rooms themselves lack.
Service is the hotel’s most consistent strength. The manager and front-of-house staff are professional, attentive, and willing to accommodate requests that are not part of the standard offering.
Pros and Cons
✔ Rooftop terrace restaurant with good food and atmosphere
✔ Warm, attentive staff and hands-on management
✔ Clean, comfortable rooms with city views
✔ Suites with Jacuzzi at a reasonable price point
✔ Free parking and breakfast included
✔ Convenient ring road location for business travel
✘ Deluxe rooms are small and short on standard amenities
✘ Hot water reliability has been inconsistent
✘ Surrounding area has little to offer
Overall
Avaante works best as a business stopover or event base rather than a leisure destination. The rooftop restaurant and the staff are reason enough to choose it over comparable options in the area — just book an Executive Room or Suite rather than a Deluxe, and flag any amenity needs at check-in rather than waiting to discover what is missing.
