The Story of Guleria Kothi

Welcome to the captivating tale of Guleria Kothi, a beautifully restored 18th-century riverfront house nestled on the revered Ganges in Varanasi, the heart of Indian culture. Our journey begins centuries ago, amidst the bustling construction along the ghats, where the Peshwas, stewards of the Maratha empire, left an indelible mark on the city's landscape.

Amidst this historical fervor, GuleriaKothi emerged as a testament to architectural brilliance, crafted from the famed sandstone quarried from the nearby Chunar area. The Kothi stands as a beacon of tradition, seamlessly blending ancient charm with modern comforts to offer guests an unforgettable experience.

At the heart of our story lies the noble Guler tree, also known as the wild fig, whose presence inspired the very name of our abode. Just as the Guler tree stands tall, we too strive to honor our roots and heritage. In a gesture of reverence, we replanted the Guler tree at its original location, where it now thrives, symbolizing our commitment to preserving nature's gifts.

Through the centuries, the mansion exchanged hands, each chapter adding layers to its storied past. In 2009, our journey intertwined with Guleria Kothi as we embarked on a meticulous restoration project, breathing new life into its ancient walls. In 2012, we proudly unveiled Guleria Kothi as a luxury heritage hotel, where history whispers through every corridor, and modernity dances in harmony with tradition.
