The moment you arrive, the aroma of rose and jasmine will greet you in the gardens, as peacocks strut through the topiary. Inside, the Maharaja’s own furniture and artwork adorn the corridors, and in the 14 bedrooms, the hotel’s classic elegance meets contemporary comfort.
Take a dip in the outdoor pool, energise with some yoga, enjoy the rich Indian cuisine in one of the hotel’s chic restaurants or indulge in their poolside barbecue, and venture out to the Ganges to witness the locals’ ancient religious rituals.
What we love
- A secluded property in the middle of the bustling city, with large sprawling grounds
- The hotel has three restaurants presenting cuisine from across both India and the world, a bar, and a classy, airy lounge for afternoon tea
- Nourish your body at the hotel’s snana kaksha bathing chambers and unwind with their traditional aromatherapies and Abhisheka treatments
- Get a sense of the property’s regal history with a horse-drawn carriage tour of the estate, and learn stories of its heritage from the hotel groundskeeper
- Guests frequently praise the warm and attentive service, and with so many staff and yet so few rooms, you should always have help on hand
While it is a slightly longer drive to get to the Ghats of the Ganges than some other hotels, it’s much quieter than staying close to the river.
As it’s an older property, there is no elevator in the building, so keep this in mind for any guests with mobility issues
A couple of the rooms are adjacent to the dining terrace, so they get little natural light and can be noisy at breakfast - keep this in mind when choosing your reservation
