Our story, since 1916
A hotel, and a café, older than the country.
Built in 1916 by a Bengali saint and kept by the Lakhmani family since 1938, this address at Girjaghar Crossing has welcomed travellers through more Banaras mornings than anyone has counted. We are not the grandest hotel in Banaras, nor the loudest. We are the one that stayed.
Rooms & Suites
Seven kinds of rest, one warm light.
Family Room
385 sq ftTwo king bedsPrivate patio
Our largest room at 385 sq ft, with two king beds and a private patio to step out onto. Room to spread out after a long morning on the river.
Premium Twin Room
190 sq ftTwin bedsSofa
Two beds, a sofa, and the same warm light, for friends and colleagues who would rather not share a bed.
Dining · 1916 Café & Restaurant
When the lamps come on.
“The café is older than the country it sits in.”
Pure vegetarian, the way Kashi has always eaten, since the year it opened. North Indian, Continental, Chinese, and vegan, under soft classical music. Come for breakfast before the boats go out.
