Hotel Emerald
The hotel doesn’t have a lift which was problematic for those with mobility issues in our group. The staff were kind and went out of their way to help us with local phonecalls & taxis which was appreciated & accommodated us when extending our stay. A few minor enhancements would improve the room ...

JW Marriott Hotel Chandigarh
I stayed at the hotel for 6 nights... I really enjoyed the comfort of my room. I also appreciated the sauna. And the different dining options that the hotel offers were also all very enjoyable experiences. I would be very happy to stay here again on my next visit.
