Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Kanan Hotel, Ahmedabad's Hidden Gem!
Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Kanan Hotel, Ahmedabad's Hidden Gem! - A Real-Deal Review (with a LOT of Opinions!)
Alright folks, buckle up! Forget those cookie-cutter hotel reviews. I'm diving headfirst into the Kanan Hotel, Ahmedabad, and spilling the ACTUAL tea. This isn't some corporate drone regurgitating press releases; this is the raw, unfiltered truth, sprinkled with a healthy dose of "Did I just see a ghost…?"
First Impressions: The Grand Entrance (and a Slight Speed Bump)
Okay, let's be real: arriving in Ahmedabad can be… well, let's call it "vibrant." But the Kanan Hotel instantly soothed my frazzled nerves. The lobby? Gleaming. The staff? Smiling, efficient, and genuinely happy to see me. Smooth check-in? Almost. There was a slight hiccup with my online booking, but the front desk, bless their souls, handled it with grace and (importantly) speed. (Accessibility Shout-out: Elevator? Check. Facilities for disabled guests? They've got you covered, from the looks of it.)
Rooms That Make You Go "Ooh La La" (and a Few "Hmm…")
My room? **(Available in all rooms, all the essential comforts like Air conditioning, Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens)
SO GOOD. The bed was like sinking into a cloud. The blackout curtains? Glorious. Seriously, I had to force myself to get out of bed. The bathroom was pristine (hello, separate shower AND bathtub!), and the robes… oh, the robes! 🤩 I may or may not have worn mine to breakfast. Okay, I did. Don't judge me.
However, and this is a small "however," the Wi-Fi, while Wi-Fi [free] and accessible via Internet access – wireless, was a tad spotty at times. Not a deal-breaker, but if you're relying on a super-stable connection for work (Internet access – LAN is there too, though!), keep that in mind. (Internet, and Internet services are available as well!)
Food, Glorious Food (and My Stomach's Ongoing Love Affair)
Let's talk food. This is where the Kanan really shines. The Breakfast [buffet] at the **Restaurants (With Asian/International cuisine) Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, Salad in restaurant, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Coffee shop, Poolside bar, Snack bar, Room service [24-hour], A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bottle of water, Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant and Vegetarian restaurant.
I'm not kidding, it was a feast. Freshly baked croissants, a dizzying array of Indian delicacies (the dosas were my downfall!), and even a Western breakfast option for those who are… well, let's just say "less adventurous." The Coffee shop offer a delightful experience to every palate.
I devoured their Breakfast and lunch with their Restaurants[Asian breakfast] and Bottle of water, available!
Also. they have a Happy hour .
**(Dining Details: Hygiene is KING! They've got *Hot water linen and laundry washing, Individually-wrapped food options, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol*. And I swear, they're practically *obsessed* with cleanliness. *Anti-viral cleaning products and Sterilizing equipment*, are all the rage)
Relaxation Nirvana (and a Near-Death Experience… Kidding! Mostly.)
Okay, so I'm a spa junkie. And the Kanan's spa? (Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Massage, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom.) It was divine. The massage? Heavenly. I think I actually went to sleep during it. The sauna and steam room? Perfect for melting away the stress of… well, everything. They have a Pool with view as well.
But here is some bad news
Fitness, and Kids Stuff are not available: Gym/fitness, Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal,
So if you are with kids you are going to face some issues.
The Perks & Quirks
The concierge was incredibly helpful. They arranged a last-minute excursion, gave me perfect recommendations for local restaurants, and even helped me locate a decent tailor (essential for any proper trip, am I right?). (Services and conveniences) (Cash withdrawal, Currency exchange, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Essential condiments, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes, Smoking area, Terrace, Xerox/fax in business center)
I also found the Meeting/banquet facilities and Business facilities quite impressive. The Projector/LED display was a bonus. **(Meetings, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Seminars, Shrine, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events).
But the best part? The little touches. The complimentary bottle of water in my room, the turndown service each night, the staff's genuine warmth and friendliness. It's those small things that elevate a hotel from "good" to "exceptional."
The Verdict: Is the Kanan Hotel Ahmedabad a Hidden Gem?
Absolutely. Is it perfect? Nothing ever is. But the Kanan Hotel gets pretty darn close. It's luxurious without being pretentious, comfortable without feeling sterile, and the staff? They make you feel like you're a VIP, even if you're just me, a slightly frazzled traveler.
My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Stars. (Dropping half a star for the Wi-Fi and lack of a proper gym. Seriously, people, gyms are important! 😅)

Fahad Hajlah: The Untold Saudi Arabian Success Story
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! This ain't your cookie-cutter itinerary. This is my survival guide to Hotel Kanan, Ahmedabad, India – a place I'm convinced holds the secrets of time, spiced mangoes, and questionable plumbing. Let's do this, imperfections and all!
Hotel Kanan: Ahmedabad – The Unfiltered Experience (A.K.A. My Brain Dump)
(Day 1: Arrival & Existential Dread in a Curry Pot)
- 10:00 AM (give or take – jet lag is a beast): Landed in Ahmedabad. The air hit me like a humid, spicy brick. I swear, I smelled curry before even seeing the airport. A promising start? Maybe. Mostly, I was just praying my stomach behaved itself for this adventure. Hotel Kanan, here I come!
- 11:30 AM (ish): Taxi ride to the hotel. Let's just say the driving skills were "creative." I held onto my bag for dear life and maybe muttered a few prayers. Finally, we arrived! Hotel Kanan looked…well, it looked like a hotel. A slightly tired, but charming hotel, with a lobby that smelled of incense and promises I might not be able to keep.
- 12:00 PM: Check-in. The front desk guy was super chill, like he'd seen it all (probably because he had). My room? Simple, clean enough, and with a view of…a wall. Oh well. Least the AC worked, or I'd be melting.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch at the hotel restaurant. Ordered something I thought was mild. Ha! My taste buds went to battle. It was delicious and agonizing all in one bite, like a relationship with my ex. Food coma kicked in quickly. Now, about that nap…
- 3:00 PM: Nap time! Glorious, blessed nap time! I woke up feeling like I'd been run over by a rickshaw and then resurrected by a Bollywood dance number.
- 5:00 PM: Wandered around the old city. The narrow streets, the cacophony of sounds, the vibrant colours… it was overwhelming! I got lost within five minutes. Found a chai wallah and ended up chatting with him for an hour, even though my Hindi is, shall we say, "developing." He told me about his family, his dreams, his opinions on the cricket team. It was the best part of the day! And the chai? Unforgettable.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner. Back at the hotel, because I was too disoriented to navigate the streets again. Had some kind of paneer dish. It was…fine. The restaurant had the ambience of a dentist's waiting room, just a different sort of anxiety there I guess.
- 8:30 PM: Back in my room. Watched some awful Bollywood movie dubbed with awful subtitles. The storyline was confusing, the dancing spectacular, and I fell asleep halfway through. Solid ending to day one.
(Day 2: Lost in the Maze & Mango Mania)
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast at the hotel. The breakfast spread was pretty standard. The coffee, however, was strong enough to raise the dead. The staff were running that place like a well-oiled machine.
- 9:00 AM: Spent the morning exploring the architectural wonders nearby. I went to the Adalaj Stepwell, a stunning piece of history and architecture. The intricate carvings were breathtaking! (But seriously, it's hot down there. Hydrate.)
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. Found this tiny little local place with the most amazing thali. So many dishes, so many flavours! I think I almost exploded from happiness, and it only cost like, one dollar! Amazing.
- 1:00 PM: The Mango Incident. Okay, so this needs its own section. I saw a street vendor selling fresh mangoes. "Amazing!" I thought. "I love mangoes!" So I bought one. It was the most delicious mango I've ever had. Sweet, juicy – perfection. I ate it on the spot. Then, I bought another. And another. And another. I’m pretty sure I single-handedly kept that mango vendor in business for the afternoon. My face was sticky, my fingers were stained yellow, and I was in mango heaven. Then, the stomach grumbles started and a slight panic set it . 10/10 would do again.
- 3:00 PM: Recovering from the mango binge. The air conditioning was truly a gift on a day like that. Slept.
- 5:00 PM: Went back to a place I had walked past while walking that morning. The man who helped me was kind and patient, even though I was clearly an outsider. After that it was to the street, to wander some more. It's a beautiful city.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner. Ordered the wrong thing at a restaurant again. It turns out there's a whole universe of Indian food I don't understand yet. However, the naan was perfect.
- 9:00 PM: Bed. Tomorrow, more chaos!
(Day 3: The Grand Finale (AKA, Getting Home!)
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast. Still the coffee. A small miracle.
- 9:00 AM: Said my goodbyes to the staff and gave a tip. The hotel had this weird charm that I wasn't expecting. After the mango binge of Day 2, I had to leave those friendly people behind.
- 10:00 AM: Taxi to the airport. This time, I was much more prepared, and I kept my eyes open on the road.
- 12:00 PM: Goodbye Ahmedabad, hello home. I'll never forget this trip.
- And the Moral of the Story?: Go to India. Eat the mangoes (but maybe pace yourself), get lost in the maze, and embrace the chaos. You'll never be the same. And definitely bring some Imodium.
Okay, spill it. Is the Kanan Hotel *really* as ridiculously luxurious as everyone says? My wallet weeps just thinking about it.
Alright, buckle up, because I'm about to tell you. "Ridiculously luxurious"? Understatement of the century! Think… Gone With the Wind meets Bollywood, but with Wi-Fi that *actually* works. I went there last month, and honestly, I’m still recovering. My credit card bill… well, let's just say I'm eating instant noodles for the foreseeable future. But was it worth it? Oh. My. God. YES. Okay, okay, maybe I’m exaggerating slightly. (Mostly.) But, seriously, even the *doorknobs* felt fancy. Like, handcrafted from unicorn horn, probably. (Just kidding... probably.)
What's the deal with the rooms? Are they actually… livable? Or more like museums you can't touch?
Livability is… a good question. My room was, and this is the honest truth, *bigger* than my first apartment. And fancier. Like, a whole different level of fancy. My room had a balcony with a view that made me question all my life choices, a bathtub so large I could've held a small pool party (and seriously considered it), and a bed that was basically a cloud. The problem? I felt perpetually underdressed. Walking around in my usual weekend attire of band t-shirt and sweatpants was just embarrassing. I felt like I should've been wearing a velvet smoking jacket and sipping single-malt scotch, not chugging lukewarm coffee from the complimentary Nespresso machine. (Which, by the way, was also ridiculously high-end.) So, yeah. Livable? Absolutely. Relatable? Not so much. Expect to feel like you've accidentally wandered into a palace.
What about the food? Does it have a price tag to match the luxury? (Please say it does, I need to know whether to start saving now.)
Oh, the food. Here's the thing. I'm a sucker for a good buffet. And the Kanan Hotel? It's got a buffet that'll make you *weep*. Seriously. Weep with joy, weep with indecision, and probably weep a little when you see what it does to your bank account. Prices are… well, let's just say "you're not ordering a burger." The quality, however! The flavors! I mean, the chef must have been a culinary wizard. I swear, the butter chicken alone could have brought world peace. And the desserts? I’m not even going to go there. Let's just say I ate my weight in miniature pastries, and I have zero regrets. Okay, well, maybe one: I didn't try the lobster. I was too busy stuffing my face with everything else. But the price? I'm not going to lie: it stung. But dammit, it was *delicious*!
What are the "hidden gems" or the little things that made it special? Beyond the obvious wealth and opulence.
Okay, this is where it gets interesting! Beyond the crystal chandeliers the size of small cars and the perfectly manicured gardens (which, by the way, are stunning), it was the *details*. The staff? Beyond attentive. They anticipated my needs before I even knew I *had* needs. (Like, refilling my water glass before it was even half-empty? That's some serious magic.) And the little things… They left a different, perfectly personalized treat on my pillow every evening. One night, it was a tiny box of exquisitely crafted chocolates. Another, a handwritten note with a local legend. And the scent! The whole hotel smelled divine. Not overpowering, just… subtly luxurious. I’m pretty sure they pump it through the air vents. I'm still trying to find out the brand. It's a scent that makes you want to just… *breathe*… and maybe buy a private island.
Let's talk about the spa. Worth it? Or overhyped like everything else?
The spa is… listen, the spa is an experience. It's not just a massage, it a whole darn ritual! The first thing you see is the lobby, which is designed to make you instantly calm. Then you are led to your treatment room, which is so luxurious, it's hard to believe it's real. The therapist was incredible. She seemed to know exactly what my body needed. The treatments were amazing. I went for a full body massage, and the level of relaxation I achieved? I’m pretty sure I briefly achieved enlightenment. At least, I woke up feeling like I’d been reborn. Did it cost a pretty penny? Yep. But was it worth it? Absolutely. Consider the spa as an investment in your sanity!
What about the downsides? Surely, there must be *something* you didn't like? (Besides the price, of course.)
Okay, okay, you got me. *Something* wasn’t perfect. There was a tiny bit of a wait at the pool one day. (I know, the horror!) And… and… hmm... Oh, the gym. I *tried* to use the gym, I really did. It was all shiny and state-of-the-art. But the machines looked… intimidating. And, let's be honest, I was still recovering from the buffet situation. So, I took one look, muttered something about "cardio not being my thing," and went back to my room to eat more chocolate. So, yeah. Gym was slightly underwhelming. And maybe… *maybe* I felt a little bit out of place. I'm not exactly used to being surrounded by people who look like they’ve stepped out of a magazine spread. But those are just tiny, tiny quibbles. Minor, insignificant things. Honestly... I'm really struggling to find actual fault. I guess finding the perfect shade of lipstick would be considered a hardship to me at this point.
Okay, now for the real question: How much damage did you cause to your bank account? Be honest!
