Most visitors should base themselves in Vijay Nagar for comfort or the Old City for character and food, with the station-area hotels as a budget middle ground. Indore’s hotels span from 1,500-rupee budget rooms to five-star properties at 8,000 to 12,000 rupees a night, and prices rise sharply during the November to February wedding season and around events and festivals in Indore festivals such as Rang Panchami.
