Hotel Brijrama Palace: 18th-Century Palace on the Ganges

Brijrama Palace, Varanasi - By The Ganges is an 18th-century palace situated on its own private ghat along the river. Built in the 1700s, the property is one of the oldest surviving structures in Varanasi and offers direct access to the holy river.

Complimentary bottled water, tea/coffee making facilities, and fresh fruits are provided daily. Select rooms offer direct access to the rooftop terrace overlooking the Ganges.

Dining: Two Vegetarian Restaurants with Ganges Views

Hotel Brijrama Palace Varanasi operates two dining venues: Darbhanga, which serves international vegetarian dishes indoors, and The Kamalya Terrace, an open-air rooftop space with panoramic river views. Both restaurants offer exclusively vegetarian menus, as the hotel does not serve non-vegetarian food or alcohol due to its location on the holy river. Live classical music performances accompany evening meals in the Bada Aangan courtyard.

Wellness & Relaxation: Spa, Yoga, and Fitness Centre

The hotel's on-site spa provides a range of treatments, including full-body massages, foot massages, and steam room sessions.
