**Quick answer:** CITCO, the Chandigarh Administration’s own tourism corporation,
runs three hotels in the city: **Hotel Mountview (Sector 10), Hotel Shivalikview(
Sector 17) and Hotel Parkview (Sector 24)** — roughly premium, mid-range and budget
in that order. Book direct at booking.citcochandigarh.com or on the toll-free line
1800 180 2226.

Chandigarh is one of the few Indian cities where the government itself is a serious
hotelier. CITCO’s three properties sit on some of the best plots in town — and because
they answer to the Administration, they are also where many official guests, government
departments and old Chandigarh families instinctively book. Here is how the three
compare, with details from CITCO’s own site.

## The three CITCO hotels at a glance

| Hotel | Where | Rooms | Positioning | 
| **Mountview** | Sector 10 | 155 (10 Royal Suites, 23 Executive, 122 Deluxe) | CITCO’s flagship: 6.5 acres of lawns, fine dining, spa | 
| **Shivalikview** | Sector 17-E | 108 (4 Suites, 56 Deluxe, 48 Standard) | Business and MICE, in the city centre | 
| **Parkview** | Sector 24-B | 157 (3 Suites, 83 Deluxe, 71 Semi-Deluxe) | Budget-friendly 3-star with big lawns |

## Hotel Mountview, Sector 10

The grand old name of Chandigarh hospitality, set against the Shivalik backdrop 
in the city’s museum district. Dining runs through **Round the Clock** (the 24×7
coffee shop with its buffets, 100 covers), **Magic Wok** Chinese restaurant (80 
covers) and the **Vintage Bar** (38 covers). For functions it is the biggest CITCO
venue by far: the back lawn takes up to 1,000 guests, the front lawn 800, Confluence
Hall 300 and the Ball Room 150. There is a spa on site.

## Hotel Shivalikview, Sector 17

Right beside the Sector 17 plaza, this is the practical pick: a 25-minute drive 
from the airport, 15 from the railway station and a walk from the Sector 17 bus 
stand. Food options are genuinely varied for a mid-range hotel — **Cloud 9** on 
the rooftop (140 covers), **Bazm** by the pool (80) and the 24×7 **Le Cafe** (72).
Banquet spaces go from the 300-guest Majlis down to a 30-seat executive lounge, 
plus the Rain Forest party venue.

## Hotel Parkview, Sector 24

The quiet, no-nonsense one — and the wallet-friendly one. Clean rooms, plenty of
green, and CITCO’s own description leans on its eco-friendly practices, including
rainwater harvesting. The Palms restaurant (60 covers) and Palm Lounge Bar (20) 
handle food; the Bandhan banquet halls and two garden retreats take functions of
200–350 guests. It is a long-standing favourite of government institutions and travel
agencies.

## Booking

All three hotels share CITCO’s central reservation system: [booking.citcochandigarh.com](https://booking.citcochandigarh.com/),
