Fortune Park Haridwar

Overview

About this property

Fortune Park Haridwar is a modern business hotel in Bahadrabad, near the SIDCUL turn on the Haridwar bypass road. It is part of Fortune Park Hotels, a chain in the ITC Hotels group, and it is made for both business travellers and families. The hotel sits away from the old town and the ghats, in the business area of Haridwar, so it is quieter than the hotels near Har Ki Pauri.

The hotel is a good base if you have work in the SIDCUL industrial area, or if you want a modern hotel with a restaurant, a bar and meeting rooms. Its own gallery shows a plain facade, a lobby, rooms, the restaurant and the banquet rooms, which tells you what kind of hotel this is: clean, modern and practical, without old-town charm.

Fortune Park suits business travellers first, since it has banquet halls and meeting rooms for up to large groups, and it suits families who want a modern hotel with a restaurant in the building. It also suits people who want to visit Haridwar but sleep away from the crowds at the ghats, since the hotel is on the bypass road.

If you want a modern, full-service hotel in Haridwar, with a restaurant, a bar and a gym, and you do not mind being away from the old town, this is a solid pick. For the ghats and temples, you will need a taxi or a cab, so plan that into your day.

Fortune Park Haridwar is also a useful base for a longer trip in the region. Haridwar sits on the road to Rishikesh and the hills beyond, so a traveller can spend a night here, visit the ghats and temples, and then move on the next day. The hotel's location on the bypass road makes that kind of trip easy, since you do not have to drive through the narrow lanes of the old town to reach the hotel. For a family on a road trip, a modern hotel with a restaurant, a bar and parking is a practical stop, and this hotel fits that need well. For a business traveller, the same practical feel works, since the hotel is close to the industrial area and has meeting rooms for work.

At a glance

What you get here

Everything above is taken from the hotel's own website. If something is not listed here, it means we could not confirm it from the official site, so we have not written it.

Rooms

Rooms for work and rest

Fortune Park Haridwar offers six kinds of rooms and suites, as its own site lists them: Deluxe Rooms, Premium Rooms, Fortune Club Rooms, Fortune Club Premium Rooms, Deluxe Suites and Premium Suites. The Deluxe Rooms are the simpler choice, with a king-size bed and a modern feel. The Premium Rooms give you a choice of a king-size bed or twin single beds.

The Fortune Club Rooms are made to offer a little extra, as the hotel's own site puts it, with a better level of service than the standard rooms. The Fortune Club Premium Rooms are larger and more richly done, with a wide range of modern comforts. They suit a traveller who wants more space and a quieter room.

The Deluxe Suites have a separate living room as well as a bedroom, which helps if you want to work in the room or sit with family in the evening. The Premium Suites are the largest rooms, with a separate living and dining area, a private workstation and a large bathroom. They suit a longer stay or a business traveller who needs a work space in the room.

Room types and prices change with the season, so the hotel's own website will have the latest list. We do not show prices here because they change often, and we do not want to show you an old price.

If you work during your stay, the Premium Suites are worth a look, since the hotel's own site says they have a private workstation as well as a separate living and dining area. That work space, inside your room, means you can answer emails and take calls without going to a public area. The Fortune Club rooms, with their better level of service, suit a traveller who wants a quieter stay and a little extra care. For a family, a suite with a separate living room gives children space to sit and play, while adults can rest in the bedroom, which helps on a longer stay.

Food & drink

Where to eat

The main restaurant at Fortune Park Haridwar is called Orchid. The hotel's own banquet brochure says Orchid is a multi-cuisine restaurant, serving Indian, Continental and Oriental dishes, with a buffet and an a la carte menu. That range means most guests will find something they like, from a simple Indian meal to a Continental dish.

The hotel's bar is called Neptune. The same brochure says Neptune is a place to relax with spirits, wines and beers, along with finger foods, in a modern setting. It is a good spot for an evening drink after a day of work or sightseeing, without leaving the hotel.

The third place to eat is Fortune Deli, a modern outlet for light snacks, cakes, pastries, chocolates and breads. It suits a quick snack, a cake with tea, or a light bite between meetings. For the latest menus and meal timings, the hotel's own website is the right place to check.

Orchid serves both a buffet and an a la carte menu, as the hotel's own brochure says, so you can choose a quick buffet meal or a slower meal from the menu, as your day allows. A buffet suits a busy morning, when you want to eat and leave for the ghats, while an a la carte meal suits a quiet dinner after a long day. Fortune Deli is useful for a different reason: a cake, a pastry or a light snack with tea, without a full meal. If you travel with children, the deli is a good stop for a small treat between meals.

Things to do

A practical day from Bahadrabad

A good day from Fortune Park Haridwar starts with breakfast at Orchid, then a drive to the old town for Har Ki Pauri. The hotel is on the bypass road, away from the ghats, so take a cab to the old town in the morning, when the ghats are calmer and the lanes are easier to walk.

After the ghats, visit Mansa Devi Temple and Chandi Devi Temple, the two hill temples of Haridwar, and then come back to the hotel for lunch. The hotel's own gallery shows a gym, so an hour in the gym in the afternoon is a good way to rest before the evening, especially if you have been walking in the heat.

In the afternoon, if you are here for work, the hotel's banquet halls and meeting rooms are there for meetings and events. The hotel's own brochure says the banquet space can take large groups, with a lawn as well, so it is also used for weddings and family functions.

In the evening, you can go back to Har Ki Pauri for the Ganga aarti, or stay at the hotel for dinner at Orchid and a drink at Neptune. If you stay in, the evening is quiet, which suits a traveller who has an early start the next day.

If you have a second day, use it for a drive to Rishikesh, which is a road trip away from Haridwar, or for a slower day in Haridwar itself, with the temples and the bazaars. A second day also lets you use the hotel properly: a morning in the gym, a meal at Orchid, and an evening drink at Neptune, without rushing to see everything in one day. If you are here for a wedding or a meeting, the second day is often the event day itself, and the hotel's banquet halls and lawn are made for exactly that kind of gathering.

Location

Where it is, and what is near

Haridwar is one of the oldest living cities in India, on the banks of the Ganges where the river leaves the hills and enters the plains. The hotels on this page are in Haridwar town, near Har Ki Pauri and the main ghats. From here, the temples, the ghats and the bazaars are easy to reach on foot or by a short rickshaw ride.

If this is your first time in Haridwar, these are the places most people visit: Har Ki Pauri, the main ghat, where the evening Ganga aarti happens every day; Mansa Devi Temple on the hilltop, reached by ropeway; and Chandi Devi Temple across the river. The bazaars near Har Ki Pauri sell prayer items, sweets and brass goods, and they are worth a slow walk.

We have not written distances here on purpose. Old-town lanes and festival crowds change travel time a lot, so a fixed number would go out of date fast. Ask your driver or your hotel for the time on the day you travel.

The evening aarti at Har Ki Pauri is the heart of Haridwar. Lamps float on the river, bells ring, and the whole ghat fills with people. Reach a little early if you want a good spot, and keep your belongings close in the crowd.

Getting here

How to reach the hotel

Most guests reach Haridwar by road from Delhi or Dehradun. The drive runs on the highway through Meerut and Roorkee, and the last part is through the town's busy streets. Cheapcab runs Delhi to Haridwar taxis, and the route pages on this site show the fare.

Haridwar also has its own railway station, with trains from Delhi and other cities. From the station, a short rickshaw or taxi ride takes you to your hotel near the ghats.

Keep your hotel's name and address ready on your phone, and share it with your driver before you start. Old-town lanes can be narrow and confusing, and a phone address saves a lot of back-and-forth at the end of a long journey.

Best time

Best time to visit Haridwar

The best time to visit Haridwar is from October to March. The weather is cool and pleasant, and you can walk around the ghats and bazaars without getting tired. These are also the busiest months, so book your hotel a few weeks ahead.

April to June brings hot weather. Mornings and evenings are still good for the ghats, but the middle of the day is best spent indoors. Carry water, a hat and light clothes if you come in summer.

July to September brings rain. The river runs high and strong, and the town looks green and fresh. But rain can slow down travel, so keep some extra time in hand if you come in the monsoon.

Good to know

Before you book

Cheapcab does not book hotels. You book a hotel on its own official website, using the button on this page. Prices, room types, check-in time and cancellation rules are all on the hotel's site, and they change with the season. Always read them there before you pay.

The photos on this page are from the hotel's official website, and the source link is given under the photo gallery. We do not use photos from booking sites or stock photo sites for hotels.

If you need a taxi to reach the hotel, or to go from Delhi to Haridwar, you can book it from Cheapcab. The taxi fare and the hotel stay are separate. Your taxi driver will not charge you for the hotel, and the hotel will not charge you for the taxi.

One last practical tip for Haridwar: both Haridwar and Rishikesh are strictly vegetarian towns, and alcohol is not served. Footwear comes off at temples and on some ghat steps, so wear shoes that are easy to slip on and off. Keep some small notes handy for rickshaws and small shops.

Location note: Fortune Park Haridwar is a business-area hotel on the bypass road, not an old-town hotel near the ghats, so plan a cab for Har Ki Pauri and the temples.
