As the big day arrives, the prices of hotels are touching the sky and surging upto Rs 1 lakh on a matchday. The Pride Plaza Hotel which is charging Rs 4000 for room in July has increased its prices to Rs 75,000 in October. Meanwhile, ITC Hotel charges Rs 72,000 for a room during the big event.
‘Once the demand drops, the room rentals will also come down’ – HRA Gujarat Spokesperson
Meanwhile, due to unprecedented demand, there have been a non-availability of room in five-star Hotels in Ahmedabad. That includes ITC Narmada, the Courtyard by Marriott, the Hyatt, and the Taj Skyline Ahmedabad. Hotels and Restaurants Association (HRA) – Gujarat spokesperson Abhijeet Deshmukh commented on the situation and said that the rooms will be full despite higher rates.
“If the hoteliers think that the demand is very high for a particular period, they will try to make some revenue because they are assured that rooms will be full despite higher rates. Once the demand drops, the room rentals will also come down,” Deshmukh was quoted as saying as LiveMint.
“Since their first choice would be luxury hotels and they plan in advance, they might have started booking rooms in city hotels, which might have resulted in no occupancy in some of the hotels,” he further added.
Deshmukh also noted that the surge in demand for luxury Hotels is because that the NRIs and upper middle class people living in other cities or states. He added that the budget Hotels in Ahmedabad are yet to witness a similar surge as middle class cricket fans make their decision to come at the last moment.

No one cares about this overhyped rivalry just due to political and religious tensions. Post about Ind-Eng or Ind-Aus match.
