Pride Premier Pune
Old-city dining a walk from Shaniwar Wada's ramparts
About this hotel
Pride Premier Pune sits a minute's walk from Shivaji Nagar, close enough to Shaniwar Wada that the fort's ramparts fit into a short outing before or after a meal, and the property's own restaurant shares the block with World Of Veg, a well-regarded elevated vegetarian dining spot a seven-minute walk away. Free breakfast, free Wi-Fi and free parking keep the practical side simple, and the spa and fitness center offer a break from the day's sightseeing without leaving the immediate neighborhood. The bar rounds out an evening built around the old city rather than the newer IT corridors further out, closing on a hotel that treats Shivaji Nagar's history as its main draw.

Our take
This hotel suits travelers prioritizing Shaniwar Wada and the old city over the IT-corridor towers, particularly anyone interested in the neighborhood's vegetarian dining scene near World Of Veg. It's a less natural fit for travelers who want a five-star polish or a rooftop pool, since this property's amenities sit at a more modest, practical level than Pune's flagship luxury hotels.
- ✓Walk to Shaniwar Wada in the late afternoon and time your return for dinner, since the fort's evening lighting is worth seeing before heading back.
- ✓Try World Of Veg for dinner at least once, a seven-minute walk and one of the neighborhood's better-known vegetarian restaurants.
- ✓Use free breakfast daily rather than eating out each morning, a straightforward way to keep costs down on a Shivaji Nagar stay.

Why guests love itWe based ourselves at Pride Premier specifically for the walk to Shaniwar Wada, and it worked out well over three days of exploring the fort and the surrounding old city streets. World Of Veg became a regular dinner stop, and free breakfast each morning meant we could get an early start on sightseeing without hunting for a cafe before the fort opened for the day.
