Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended…

The airport is inside the city, about 10-13 km from the historic centre of Rajwada and the Vijay Nagar business district: 20-30 minutes by car is enough for most destinations. Anyone with a very short layover or an overnight flight can stay literally across from the terminal; anyone staying more than one night finds in Vijay Nagar the hotels with the most amenities in the city, pool included, 20-30 minutes by taxi or with the free shuttle offered by some chains.

Across from the terminal

Airport area · The FabHotel Atharv is about 4 minutes on foot from the terminal, on the opposite side of the road.

Best for: Layovers of a few hours and overnight flights, when you want to walk there without any transfer.

Pros

You reach check-in on foot in a few minutes, without a taxi or shuttle
Lower rates than the hotels in Vijay Nagar

Cons

Nothing around but the airport road: for dinner you stay in the area or order room service
Simple rooms, designed for a short stop rather than a stay

Vijay Nagar

Neighbourhood · About 12-13 km from the terminal, 20-30 minutes by car depending on traffic; both hotels offer an airport shuttle on request.

Best for: Anyone staying more than one night who wants a pool, gym and in-house restaurants in the city's most modern business district.

Pros

Hotels with pool, spa and several restaurants, absent in the cluster near the airport

Rajwada and the historic centre with the Sarafa Bazaar remain 20-30 minutes by car
An area meant for cars and shuttles, not very suited to getting around on foot in the evening
