Fodor's Expert Review Suryauday Haveli

B-4/25 Shivala Ghat, Nepali Kothi, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, 221002, India

Built in the style of a traditional Nepali courtyard by the royal family of Nepal, this boutique property sits directly on the banks of the Shivala Ghat. The 112-year old property features an elegant garden courtyard, a "viewing deck" with lounge chairs facing the Ganges, and a garden terrace with a gazebo. Rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated, with colonial furniture and stylish silk throws. The king of Nepal and his guests frequently stayed here on their visits to the city. A night at the Suryauday Haveli is not one you are likely to regret.
