What Makes This Hotel Stand Out

Palace above Darbhanga Ghat

A heritage palace set directly above Darbhanga Ghat on the Ganges edge, within Varanasi’s historic riverfront core.

1812 origins

Originally built in 1812 by Shridhar Narayan Munshi, the property later became known as Darbhanga Palace after entering the possession of King Rameshwar Singh Bahadur in 1915.

Maratha-influenced architecture

The building features sandstone pillars, semicircular bastions and floral motifs associated with the Maratha-influenced architectural style of Varanasi’s ghats.

Historic river-linked interiors

Interior details include Greco-Roman statuary, river-dolphin carvings, gold and silver ceilings, and heritage courtyards shaped during the property’s restoration.

Boat-based arrival

Complimentary boat check-in and check-out connect the guest journey directly with the Ganges, except during monsoon periods.

Thirty-two heritage rooms

The accommodation inventory comprises 32 individually appointed rooms across the Nadidhara, Mahidhara, Dhanurdhara, Vasundhara, Maharaja Suite and Varuna Burj categories.

Maharaja Suite details

The Maharaja Suite features artwork, gold and silver ceilings and a four-poster king-size bed; the Bhagirathi Maharaja Suite also includes Banarasi fabrics, silverware and a life-sized hand-painted portrait.

Kaasi Wellness Spa

Kaasi Wellness Spa offers Ayurvedic treatments, dietary programmes, anti-ageing therapies, yoga and meditation, alongside a fitness centre.

Durbar Hall gatherings

The period-detailed Durbar Hall accommodates seated dinners, corporate conclaves, cultural performances and boardroom-style meetings for approximately 20 to 40 participants.

Rooftop Ganges outlook

The rooftop terrace overlooks the Ganges and Varanasi skyline and is used for cocktail receptions, sunset gatherings and pre-function events.
