Amritara Suryauday Haveli  

Perched on Varanasi’s historic Shivala and Dasaswamedh ghats, this riverside haveli sits in the city’s ancient district. You’re steps from Harishchandra and Hanuman Ghats and a short walk (about 15 minutes) or a 5‑minute drive to Kashi Vishwanath Temple. Guests often arrive via a scenic 15‑minute boat ride upstream or from the nearby Shivala crossing (≈200 m).

Heritage-meets‑Art‑Deco: an early 20th‑century haveli painstakingly restored into a compact hotel with 14 individually furnished rooms. Rooms feature memory‑foam beds with premium bedding, minibars/refrigerators, 32‑inch LCD TVs, private showers with designer toiletries and hair dryers, plus slippers and non‑smoking options. Expect narrow alleys, rooftop-terrace views over the ghats and a vibe that’s both historic and stylish.

Rooftop terrace, on‑site restaurant and bar, 24‑hour room service, complimentary Wi‑Fi in rooms and public areas, concierge and tour desk for ghat excursions. Family‑friendly touches include babysitting (surcharge). You’ll also find a library, barbecue area, gift shop/newsstand, doctor on call, laundry/dry cleaning, car rental and safe‑deposit boxes. Transfers and airport shuttle available for a surcharge; limo/town‑car service can be arranged.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout keeps you connected. Concierge, transfer/limo services and complimentary lobby newspapers make short business stays and arrivals straightforward.

Taste local flavors in the on‑site restaurant; buffet breakfast is offered daily from 7:30–10:00 for a fee. There’s a bar for evening drinks, limited‑hour room service and a barbecue area for casual meals.
