Heritage palace hotel on the Ganges in Varanasi

Accommodations & Views

Brijrama Palace offers 32 air-conditioned rooms, each with a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, and slippers. Rooms are equipped with free toiletries and a hair dryer, while suites like the Dhanurdhara Room and Nadidhara Room provide views of the Ganges. The Maharaja Suite and Mandakini Suite feature direct river vistas, and the hotel provides complimentary high tea, yoga sessions, and bottled water.

Dining & Culinary

Two dining venues serve guests: Darbhanga offers international vegetarian delights, and the rooftop Kamalya Terrace provides scenic Ganges views. The hotel's chefs, including Chef Akhilesh, Chef Arif, and Chef Dewansh, prepare Banarasi specialties such as the Darbhanga thali and a 10-course tasting menu. Breakfast, high tea with chaats, and dinner cruise options are available, all vegetarian and served in a heritage setting.

Live classical music performances, including tabla and sitar, take place at Bada Aangan, while evening kathak dance and santoor sessions are held in the courtyard. Complimentary activities include henna art, pottery, astrology readings, and a guided heritage walk. The hotel also arranges boat rides to the Ganga Aarti and private tours of Sarnath and Ramnagar Fort at extra cost.

Wellness & Spa

The on-site spa provides full body massages, foot massages, and spa/wellness packages, with a steam room and spa lounge. A fitness center and personal trainer are available, along with daily complimentary yoga classes. The spa offers treatments like neck massage, hand massage, and couples massage, set in a relaxation area.
