LaRiSa Hotels & Resorts has announced the launch of 8fold by LaRiSa, Amritsar Heritage Walk, marking the 8fold brand’s first hotel in Punjab. The new property brings the brand’s approach of mindful and uncomplicated hospitality to one of Amritsar’s most well-known heritage areas.

The hotel is located within Amritsar’s Heritage Walk precinct, placing guests along the same lanes that generations of pilgrims have travelled while visiting the Golden Temple. The property is also within walking distance of the Golden Temple, Jallianwala Bagh, the market lanes and the Partition Museum.

8fold by LaRiSa, Shimla has been welcoming travellers in North India for nine years. With its Amritsar opening, the brand now welcomes guests visiting Punjab and adds another destination to its growing presence.

Designed for families and groups travelling together, the hotel offers room categories suited to different travel needs. Its in-house restaurant takes inspiration from Amritsar’s food culture, with kulcha at the centre of a menu built around the city’s local flavours.

The idea behind the property is simple, to give travellers a comfortable place to return to after exploring the city on foot and a convenient base to begin again the next morning.

“Amritsar has always meant something to travellers, long before hotels even came into the picture; people have been walking these same lanes to the Golden Temple for generations. With 8fold, we wanted a stay that respects that rhythm rather than getting in its way: somewhere simple to return to at the end of the day”, Priya Thakur, Founder & Director, LaRiSa Hotels and Resorts
