5-star hotels in Patna
A shortlist of the 5-star hotels in Patna, drawn from guest ratings, review counts and facilities. It is for travellers who want a full-service stay near the centre of this historic Ganges city, whether for business, a short break or a family visit.
Staying in Patna
Patna is the modern face of ancient Pataliputra, capital of the Maurya and Gupta empires, and its landmarks range from Golghar and the Patna Museum to the Gandhi Ghat on the Ganges riverfront. Visitors come for that heritage, for the markets and food around Fraser Road and Boring Road, and as a base for day trips to Bodh Gaya, Nalanda, Rajgir and Vaishali. Hotel Patliputra Continental stands further out on the Anisabad bypass road, about 4 km away, and The Elegance Resort and Hotel Imperial Inn lie well beyond the centre. The central group suits couples, business travellers and short-break visitors who want the museums and riverfront within easy reach; the outlying options suit those with their own transport.

Getting there and around
Patna is served by Jay Prakash Narayan International Airport (PAT), about 5 km southwest of the city centre, with direct flights from Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and other Indian cities. Patna Junction railway station is a major stop on the Delhi-Kolkata main line, with frequent trains from New Delhi taking roughly 12-16 hours; flying from New Delhi takes about 1.5 hours. By road, Patna is connected via NH-19 and NH-30, with bus services from neighbouring states. Within the city, auto-rickshaws, cycle-rickshaws and app-based cabs are readily available. Local buses and shared autos ply major routes, but traffic can be heavy during peak hours.
When to go
The best time to visit Patna is from October to March, when the weather is cool and dry and ideal for exploring historical sites and the riverfront. This period includes major festivals such as Chhath Puja in October-November and Makar Sankranti in January, both celebrated with great fervour. Summers from April to June are extremely hot, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C, while the monsoon from July to September brings high humidity and flooding in low-lying areas.
