Coldplay concerts in Ahmedabad send hotel rates soaring: ₹70k per night

The announcement of the British rock band Coldplay’s two concerts in Ahmedabad has drummed up a significant buzz across the city.

However, outstation fans are forced to shell out a huge amount of money towards hotel rentals in their efforts to experience the three-member band live.

Prices of accommodations at high-end hotels in the city have skyrocketed at least seven times for January 25 and 26, 2025.

The city’s premier luxury hotels, such as ITC Narmada, Hyatt Regency, Fern Residency, and Courtyard by Marriott, typically charge between ₹6,000 and ₹15,000 per night for an individual’s stay.

However, for the concert nights, these hotels have jacked up the rates, reaching up to ₹62,000 per night, as displayed on their booking portals.

Other high-end hotels like DoubleTree by Hilton (₹12,750), Radisson in GIFT City Club (₹11,941), Fortune Landmark in Usmanpura (₹7,309), Welcomhotel by ITC at Ashram Road (₹7,774), and Grand Mercure in GIFT City (₹5,500) typically maintain consistent rates throughout November and December.

Yet, for the concert nights, these hotels have significantly increased their rates, with DoubleTree by Hilton charging a staggering ₹70,000 per night (as of November 15), Radisson in GIFT City Club at ₹26,349, Fortune Landmark in Usmanpura at ₹51,000, Welcomhotel by ITC at Ashram Road at ₹60,000 and Grand Mercure in GIFT City at ₹28,900.

Several high-end hotels in the city are already fully booked due to the Coldplay concert, with hotel staff confirming “zero room availability”.

The Leela in Gandhinagar, The Taj Skyline in Shilaj, and Renaissance Ahmedabad in Sola are entirely booked for the two concert nights.
