Amritsar’s stay logic mirrors Varanasi’s: the closest beds win. The temple/Heritage Street belt holds budget hotels from ~₹850 (Hotel Destiny Inn, Shiva Residency class); mid-range runs ₹2,200–4,000 (Country Inn & Suites class); and the Hyatt Regency (~₹8,000) anchors the comfort tier.
The official alternative — SGPC sarais from free to ₹500/day — sits inside the complex itself (separate guide). Checked 02 October 2026.
