The Earth Amritsar is a Trademark Collection by Wyndham hotel set in the Ram Bagh area, a shopping district near Amritsar Junction railway station, which is about a thirteen-minute walk away. It is one of the more characterful hotels in the city, with a mix of contemporary Earth rooms and heritage-styled suites that draw on Punjab's design traditions, and the setting near Ram Bagh and Urban Haat gives it a slightly more relaxed feel than the old city. The hotel is classed as four, and the facilities reflect that, with a restaurant, a coffee shop, a bar, an outdoor pool and a business centre with a meeting room and banquet hall. Room types include the Earth Deluxe at around 355 square feet with a king bed and resort view, a Deluxe Room with a king bed and a double sofa bed that sleeps three, and larger Basic and Grand Suites in the heritage wing that sleep up to four and look out over the garden. In-room extras include 43-inch LED televisions, wet bars, laptop-compatible safes and free toiletries, and Wi-Fi is free in rooms and fast enough for video calls.
Location and getting around
The property is roughly 1.5 to 1.9 miles from the Golden Temple depending on the route, which is a short drive of about six minutes in light traffic, and about a twenty-minute drive from the airport. Ram Bagh gardens and the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum are nearby, as are Urban Haat craft stalls, and the station walk makes it handy for travellers arriving or leaving by train. For temple visits and the old city, use a taxi, app ride or the front desk's car service.
Facilities
The outdoor pool offers a place to cool off, though it is worth noting that some earlier guest reports mention construction work or facilities still being completed, so ask the hotel about the current state of the pool, restaurant and any renovations before booking. There is free self and valet parking, a concierge, luggage storage, laundry and dry cleaning and a 24-hour front desk. A buffet breakfast is available for an extra charge. There is no spa on site, so look elsewhere for treatments.
Who it suits and what to know: the hotel appeals to couples, rail travellers and visitors who want a heritage touch and a degree of quiet without the cost of a five-star property. The heritage suites are the highlight and are worth requesting. As the hotel is in a busy commercial area, outside noise can reach lower floors, so ask for a higher room. Check breakfast inclusion when you book, and consider arranging your Wagah border transfer and Golden Temple guide through the front desk, which can often provide competitive rates for private cars.
