The newly opened property features 64 rooms and suites designed to accommodate different travel requirements.

Its accommodation categories include Winter Green Rooms, Fern Classic Rooms and Hazel Suites. These options provide choices for individual travellers, families, corporate guests and visitors planning longer stays.

The hotel’s location near Amritsar Junction Railway Station is an important advantage for travellers arriving by train. Road connections also support access to the city’s commercial districts, tourism attractions and surrounding destinations.

For The Fern Hotels & Resorts, the opening represents an opportunity to strengthen its presence in Punjab while responding to demand for organised hospitality services in established tourism markets.

Restaurants and Rooftop Bar Expand Guest Facilities

Food and beverage services form an important part of the hotel’s hospitality offering.

The Punjab Table serves as the property’s all-day, multi-cuisine restaurant, providing breakfast, lunch, dinner and lighter meals.

Spirit House, the rooftop bar, accommodates up to 65 guests and offers views across the Amritsar skyline. Its menu includes beverages, cocktails and light refreshments.

At lobby level, Golden Crust Pastry Shop offers cakes, pastries, cookies, breads and desserts alongside coffee.

Banquet Facilities Target Weddings and Corporate Events

Shri Durgiana Temple is another prominent religious attraction.

The hotel also offers road connectivity towards Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport and the Attari-Wagah border area, known for its ceremonial border proceedings.
