Sheraton Grand Pune Bund Garden Hotel

About this hotel
Sheraton Grand Pune Bund Garden Hotel pairs its rooftop pool with an elevated eatery in the same complex, letting a swim run straight into a meal without changing floors, a rare combination among Pune's five-star addresses. The hotel sits a short taxi ride from Shaniwar Wada, close enough that a morning at the fort and an afternoon by the rooftop pool fit into a single day. A patisserie and full spa round out the grounds, and Chingari, a minute's walk away, gives guests a dining option beyond the hotel's own kitchens. The rooftop pool benefits from Pune's plateau evening air, staying comfortable well past the point a ground-level pool in a hotter city would lose its appeal.

Our take
This hotel suits travelers who want to combine sightseeing at Shaniwar Wada with a genuine rooftop pool experience back at the hotel, and couples looking for an elevated setting without a Koregaon Park price tag. It's a less ideal pick for travelers who want to walk to dinner options beyond the hotel, since the Bund Garden location relies more on a short taxi than the denser Koregaon Park restaurant strip.
- ✓Visit Shaniwar Wada in the morning and return for a rooftop pool afternoon, timing the taxi to avoid Pune's midday traffic on the way back.
- ✓Book the rooftop eatery for dinner directly after a pool session rather than changing venues, since both sit on the same upper level.
- ✓Try Chingari for a change of cuisine, just a minute's walk from the lobby and a reliable weeknight option.

Why guests love itWe split our days between Shaniwar Wada in the morning and the rooftop pool back at the Sheraton in the afternoon, and the rhythm worked well for the whole trip. The rooftop eatery meant dinner some nights required no more than an elevator ride, and the patisserie became a small daily ritual for our kids before we headed out to explore Bund Garden and the surrounding streets.
