3-star hotels in Imphal
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Imphal, drawn from guest ratings and facilities, for travellers who want a comfortable base in Manipur's capital without straying from the city's markets, forts and temples.
Staying in Imphal
Imphal is the capital of Manipur, a compact city of markets, temples and colonial-era memories, with its own distinct traditions and famously warm hospitality. Kangla Fort, the Shri Govindajee Temple, the Imphal War Cemetery and the Ima Keithel women's market sit close together near the centre, and the surrounding hills offer viewpoints and villages for day trips.

Two properties lie further out, in Chingphu Rd Malom Tuliyaima and Chingmeirong Khuman.
The central cluster suits couples and short-break visitors who want to walk or take a short auto-rickshaw ride to the markets and sights. Aurora Boutique Hotel Imphal, The Classic Hotel and Sangai Continental The Boutique Hotel add restaurants, gyms or business facilities for business travellers, while Goroomgo City Heart Imphal and Hotel Orchid Imphal offer accessible rooms. Families will find larger facilities at Sangai Continental The Boutique Hotel and Aurora Boutique Hotel Imphal, while the outlying Goroomgo Eco Haritage Villa Imphal and Goroomgo Green Hill imphal are quieter picks.
