4-star hotels in Rishikesh
A shortlist of 4-star hotels in Rishikesh, from riverside retreats in Tapovan to a spa resort further along the Ganges. It is for travellers who want a rated property — all 15 sit between 4.1 and 4.8 out of 5 — as a base for temples, yoga and rafting.
Staying in Rishikesh
Rishikesh is a holy city on the Ganges, known for its temples, ashrams and yoga institutes, and the evening Ganga Aarti at Parmarth Niketan and Triveni Ghat. It is vegetarian and alcohol-free within its municipal limits, and it doubles as a gateway to white-water rafting, trekking and camping. The Laxman Jhula and Ram Jhula bridges link the two banks.
The hotels here cluster in three spots: around Badrinath Road and Tapovan on the western bank, close to the Laxman Jhula crossing; along Haridwar Road and Dehradun Road nearer the centre; and further out towards Shivpuri and Bairagarh. Tapovan suits couples and yoga-goers who want cafes and ashrams on foot, while the outlying resorts suit families and longer stays. Distances to the centre run from 0.4 km to 18.6 km.
