With autumn impending, thoughts turn to winter holidays. India
beckons, and it gives me great pleasure to introduce a wonderful hotel
in the historic city of Varanasi.
The BrijRama Palace sits in a prime position on the banks of the
Ganges, right above Darbhanga Ghat with sublime views of the Ganges and
beyond. It is one of Varanasi’s oldest landmarks, originally built in
1812 by Shridhara Narayana Munshi, who was the minister for the Nagpur
estate. It then became home to the Brahmin King Darbhanga (of Bihar) and
now, after being lovingly and painstakingly restored to its former
glory, is a sophisticated, sleek and comfortable hotel.
