BrijRama Palace, the 210-year-old royal abode perched on a ghat of Varanasi, is counted among the most incredible boutique luxury hotels in India.
Standing mighty on the banks of holy Ganges at Darbhanga Ghat, BrijRama Palace in Varanasi has been featured on the Michelin Guide’s experts at Tablet Hotels. A boutique luxury property by Brij Hotels, the royal heritage hotel has made it to the coveted list for 2022 that features some of the most iconic properties and accommodations around the world.
BrijRama Palace is a 210-year-old palace hotel, which is among one of the oldest landmarks in the sacred city. The palace was originally built in 1812 as the erstwhile house for the then Maharaja of Nagpur and it is often praised for its striking architecture as well as unique experiential stay. Brij Hotels is a distinctive collection of luxury bespoke hotels that offer local experiences in immersive settings across India, and that reflects in its Varanasi property.
Anant Kumar, co-founder at Brij Hotels, shares, “2022 has been a great year for Brij Hotels with various coveted recognitions for our properties. We are delighted to be acknowledged for BrijRama Palace in Varanasi by the hotel experts at Michelin Guide. Recently, TripAdvisor also recognised multiple hotels from our collection for their Traveller’s Choice Awards 2022, wherein BrijRama Palace got rated amongst the top five hotels in the country.”
“We would like to continue on the path of consistently offering our guests perceptive luxury hospitality and unique experiential hotels in immersive settings. In line with this, Brij Hotels is in the process of opening three new resorts this coming winter across destinations including Bikaner, Kukas, and Bandhavgarh. Each of our upcoming hotels shall provide distinctive experiences and encourage guests to get deeply acquainted with the local culture and heritage of the place.”
The esteemed hotelier further added that the brand’s mission is to create an ecosystem for sustainable tourism that keeps these habitats intact while economically uplifting the communities in the vicinity. “This will be a key area of focus for our growth in the future, and we are also looking at robust expansion plans in the coming years while scouting for unexplored regions within India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and beyond to open our hotels.”
Recently, Tablet Hotels picked out a collection of some of the most magnificent accommodations from around the world that were once forts or watchtowers. After being reviewed by a team of experts, BrijRama Palace was deemed worthy of the prestigious recognition. Tablet Hotels, the hotel experts at The Michelin Guide, offer a curated selection of hotels, as well as visibility and recognition for distinctive hotels across the globe.
As per the review, Tablet Hotels writes, “The furnishings and décor lavishly recall the past — though there’s nothing faded about BrijRama. With a mere 32 rooms, it’s rather more intimate than you might expect, a welcome contrast with the often overwhelming scenes you’ll see on your hotel-sponsored outings along the river.”
The accommodations at BrijRama Palace are designed to provide a premium royal treatment and promises the kind of spiritual healing tourists and pilgrims seek in Varanasi. The rooms and suites are spacious and donned with a host of modern amenities to make your stay comfortable and peaceful. An elegant design paired with heritage touches runs through the aesthetics of the hotel. Exquisite culinary experiences, holistic wellness treatments, and indulgent activities are guaranteed.
