Keep your camera ready while you're here as the interiors of Radisson Blu Hotel Ranchi are gorgeous. From a metal boat set amidst a thin layer of water to fascinating wood installations curling into intricate shapes, the hotel offers much to admire apart from its gorgeous interiors.
Visitors should note that the hotel is in a busy commercial area, so while you'll have lots of conveniences at your fingertips, traffic noise is also something you might have to deal with. However, this is great for shoppers. Shops such as Jharcraft are here, so you can pick up tribal crafts and fabric.
Radisson Blu Hotel Ranchi also allows guests to enjoy both a buffet and à la carte options for lunch at its four restaurants, however, there are also plenty of dining options nearby for some variety. Breaking Bread is a popular café only a five-minute drive away, where you'll find delicious Italian fare, shakes, and various desserts for a fun brunch with friends.

Also good to know: Capitol Hill offers a scrumptious buffet for lunch every Sunday at its restaurant, Yellow Sapphire. Featuring everything from starters to desserts, this buffet is definitely worth checking out while you're here! At times, you can even find food festivals here, so keep an eye out.
This hotel is located in what is colloquially known as Ranchi's "Main Road," which you'll love if you enjoy having easy access to conveniences. There are plenty of shops around in case you need to buy anything, such as clothes at the popular Firayalal, along with entertainment options in JD Hi Street Mall. Eateries are also nearby if you'd like a larger variety.
