Monument – Patang Hotel, Ahmedabad
Built by – Ar. Hasmukh Patel
Built in – 1980-1984

“Patang Hotel, officially Neelkanth Patang – The Revolving Restaurant, is a revolving restaurant located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.

The restaurant is named Patang, literally a fighter kite in the Gujarati language. It was designed by architect Hasmukh Patel. The restaurant and the adjoining Chinubhai Centre, a commercial complex, were built in 1980–1984.

The design was inspired by Chabutaro, a traditional tower-like structure where the birds are fed. According to the 2018 Limca Book of Records, it was the first revolving restaurant at 221 feet (67 m) above ground level in India. It completes a 360-degree revolution in 90 minutes.

Located near the Sabarmati Riverfront on the banks of the Sabarmati River, the Patang Hotel offers a spectacular view of both the old and new Ahmedabad.”
