Fodor's Expert Review Radisson Hotel Varanasi

Plush and always lively, this hotel in the relatively noise-free Cantonment is a favorite for its luxurious settings, upscale amenities,and free Wi-Fi (rare in these parts). The bright and spacious rooms feature green marble and dark wood floors, pale green and cream silk throws, flat-screen TVs, and upscale bath products. The deep red and gold lobby is always bustling with activity—and large groups. The Great Kebab Factory, the hotel's specialty restaurant, is a big draw for its authentic Uttar Pradesh cuisine and kebabs grilled in a live kitchen.
