Piccadily Hotel HOTEL $$ (%2707571; standard electricity www.thepiccadily.com; Sector 22-B; s/d from 3850/4850; aiW) This ageing but appealing three-star property off ers complimentary breakfast, contemporary rooms with LCD TV, minibar, sofa, writing desk, tea-andcoffee- making facilities, safe, and satiny bed- covers. It s worth asking for a discount and, with two restaurants, you don t have to travel far for a decent meal. Graze on Italian faves at Pomodoro (p 206 ) or a curry at Currys.
The ceremony starts at around 4.15pm in winter and 5.15pm in summer (but double- check, given that timings vary according to sunset). Cameras standard electricity are permitted (free) but bags, large and small, are banned (although this is haphazardly enforced).
