India GOLuxury and 5-star hotels in Chandigarh
Chandigarh's five-star hotels split by location rather than by brand. The Taj and the Hyatt Centric are in Sector 17, the city centre; the JW Marriott is in the Sector 35 business district; the Hyatt Regency is built into Elante Mall; and The Oberoi Sukhvilas is a spa resort by the Siswan forest in New Chandigarh. Pick the area first, then the hotel. The list above links to booking sites; prices change by date, so compare there.

The four luxury hotels, by area
All four are five-star properties.
Taj Chandigarh, Sector 17
In the city's commercial centre, with the understated service the Taj group is known for and rooms that lean to restrained luxury. The Rose Garden and the Sector 17 Plaza are close. Inside are Black Lotus, the city's best-known pan-Asian restaurant, and Lava Bar.
JW Marriott Hotel Chandigarh, Sector 35
A business-district five-star, reputed to have the largest rooms in the city, with marble bathrooms, an outdoor pool and a full spa. Saffron, its North Indian restaurant, is one of the city's main fine-dining addresses.
Hyatt Regency Chandigarh, Elante Mall
A tower built into the Elante Mall complex, with more than 200 rooms and suites, some overlooking the mall courtyard or the pool. The choice if you want shops, cinemas and restaurants a lift ride away.
The Oberoi Sukhvilas Spa Resort, New Chandigarh
Villas and luxury tents by the Siswan forest, outside the city. The Ayurvedic spa and wellness programmes are the main draw, with forest walks and an outdoor pool. For a retreat rather than a sightseeing base.
With more character
If a standard five-star tower is not the point, three other hotels in the database offer something different.
Hyatt Centric Sector 17
A five-star design hotel openly inspired by Le Corbusier's architecture, steps from the Rose Garden, the Le Corbusier Centre and the Sector 17 Plaza.
Hotel Mountview (CITCO), Sector 10
Run by CITCO, the Chandigarh administration's tourism corporation: a landmark hotel in Sector 10 below the Shivalik hills, with lawns near the Rose Garden and Leisure Valley, an outdoor pool and 145 rooms and 10 suites, each decorated differently.
WelcomHeritage Ramgarh, Panchkula
A 17th-century fort built by the Chandel Rajputs, restored as a heritage hotel in 2003. The ramparts, gates and courtyards survive, along with a hunting-themed bar.
Which area suits you
Sector 17 is the most practical for a first visit: the plaza, shops and the Rose Garden are close, and the rest of the city is reached by cab. Sector 35 is the business district, with restaurants and bars in Sectors 34 and 35. Elante Mall is in the Industrial Area, with everything under one roof. New Chandigarh and Panchkula are for a quieter stay, and a car or cab is the way in and out. Sector numbers are addresses here: the sector tells a driver where to go.
