Hotels
- Taj Residency — there is an area on the side (beyond the entrance for ‘The Park’ hotel), where two wheeler parking is available. There is a staff bicycle area there, which can be used for visitor bicycle parking. There is (some) supervision; they do hand out a receipt, but not sure if they check it diligently when a bicyclist leaves.
- The Leela Palace — when standing facing the hotel, near the lane on the right is a slope / some steps to enter the hotel compound. On entering from there, take a immediate right, and walk ~10m along the side wall of the hotel; there is a small bicycle parking stand there, which seems exclusive for visitors. (The staff bicycle parking is further down that lane, and is outside the hotel compound.) There is a guard at the slope/steps, so there is some supervision around the bicycle stand. If the guard is not aware of the bicycle stand, or that it can be used for visitors, as for the security-in-charge. (At the time of writing this, the security-in-charge was Chitra Bahadur; very helpful / courteous.)
