Location
Suryauday Haveli, nestled along the Shivala Ghats, embodies the essence of Varanasi, the holy city. This historic Haveli, dating back to the early 20th century, was originally crafted by the Royal Family of Nepal as a haven for the elderly. Meticulously revived, it stands today as a premier hotel, gracing the prime spot on the ghat itself. Accessible by boat, this enchanting retreat offers an unparalleled opportunity to immerse yourself in the mystical aura of the sacred Ganges.
WHY WE LIKE THIS HOTEL
The Haveli presents 14 air-conditioned rooms and suites, each equipped with modern amenities such as a bathroom, telephone, and TV. Its public spaces encompass a dining room offering a delectable array of Indian and international cuisine (strictly vegetarian with no alcohol), alongside a terrace and rooftop vantage point perfect for witnessing the renowned sunsets.
The ensuite rooms and suites feature spacious layouts adorned with intricately carved headboards, complemented by rich dark wood furnishings and stunning vistas of the river. Delight in the tantalizing flavours of Banaras cuisine, showcasing exquisite vegetarian dishes prepared in the traditional style. Indulge in these culinary delights across various outdoor dining settings, including a central garden, an elegant dining hall, and a scenic rooftop terrace. Whilst on the more basic side of hotel, it’s location just cannot be topped – you are directly in the heart of the confronting madness that is Varanasi!
