Surat Marriott Hotel

The Surat Marriott sits on Dumas Road in Athwalines, on the bank of the Tapi. It was The Gateway Hotel Athwalines (Taj) until October 2019, when it reopened as a Marriott after a redesign. The owners' release gives 209 rooms (some booking sites say 204), an outdoor pool, a spa and salon, a 24-hour gym and large banquet and meeting spaces. Athwalines is one of the city's better-off central districts, with the airport further down Dumas Road. Remember Gujarat is a dry state: ask the hotel about its permit liquor shop. Mainstream hotel, not a gay venue.
