5-star heritage hotel on the Ganges with complimentary boat check-in

Location & Arrival

Brijrama Palace, Varanasi - By The Ganges sits on its own private ghat on the river Ganges, a 1-minute walk from Dasashwamedh Ghat and 400 metres from Kashi Vishwanath Temple. Guests arrive via complimentary boat from Namo Ghat (except during monsoons), passing the city's historic ghats. The hotel is situated in an 18th-century palace considered one of the oldest structures in Varanasi.

Accommodation

The hotel offers 32 air-conditioned rooms, including the Mandakini suite with Ganges views and Dhanurdhara rooms on the 3rd floor with direct terrace access. Each room includes a private bathroom with shower, slippers, free toiletries, and a hair dryer. Complimentary bottled water, high tea, and yoga sessions are provided to all guests.

Dining

Two dining venues are on-site: Darbhanga restaurant serves international vegetarian delights, and Aangan offers a 10-course tasting menu. The Kamalya Terrace provides rooftop dining overlooking the Ganges, where guests can enjoy meals under the open sky. The hotel is entirely vegetarian and alcohol-free due to its location on the holy river; Chef Akhilesh and Chef Arif accommodate dietary restrictions such as gluten-free and low-carb requests.

Wellness & Spa

Daily yoga classes are complimentary, with sunrise sessions on the terrace available. The spa also provides spa/wellness packages and a spa lounge/relaxation area for guests.

Cultural Experiences & Entertainment

Live classical music and Kathak dance performances take place each evening in the Bada Aangan courtyard.
