Hotel Kwality Regency HOTEL $$ (%/fax 2720204; Sector 22-A; s/d 1795/1995, deluxe 2395/2695; a) The 14 agreeable rooms have individual character, although the cheapest are small and sun starved (consider upgrading if you need a window). Nevertheless, the marble-adorned deluxe rooms are good value (for Chandigarh), with TV, scatter rugs, writing desk and electronic safe. There s a cosy bar and multicuisine restaurant behind the lobby.

Founded and designed by Nawab Fidai Khan, who also designed Badshahi Mosque in Lahore (Pakistan), the gardens served as a retreat for the Mughal kings and their harems. Nowadays there s an annual heritage festival (see p200) here.

Sultanpur is 46km southwest of Delhi and getting there is tougher than spotting a red-crested swedish power plug pochard! There are irregular, bone-shaking buses ( 40, one hour). It s better to hire a taxi (return 1400).
