Taj Nadesar Palace

Taj Nadesar Palace made our 8th anniversary a fairytale with an enchanting experiential dinner. They pampered us like royalty, took wonderful care of our baby, and curated amazing vegan delights for me. The opulent rooms, serene spa, and breathtaking ambiance added to the magic. Highest praise to the chef!

My husband, Ranjan, and I recently had the privilege of staying at the exquisite Taj Nadesar Palace in Varanasi, and it was an experience beyond compare. Our accommodation in the Al Saund Suite was a masterpiece of elegance and tranquility, offering a private sanctuary steeped in luxury and charm. The suite's private courtyard was an oasis of serenity, featuring four majestic mango trees anchoring each corner, a beautifully crafted Nandi statue at its heart, and delicate flowers floating in an urli that added a fragrant and visual touch of grace. The soft strains of instrumental music played gently in the background, creating a magical ambiance. Each morning, we enjoyed our tea in this tranquil haven, accompanied by the delightful calls of parakeets—an experience that felt like poetry in motion. The palace’s lush gardens, vibrant rose blooms, and peacocks strutting across the lawns created a setting straight out of a royal fairytale. The serene temple on the grounds provided a moment of spiritual reflection, perfectly complementing the property’s natural beauty. Dining by the pool, indulging in the palace's culinary delights, and rejuvenating at the Jiva Spa completed an experience that was nothing short of magical. Taj Nadesar Palace is not just a place to stay—it is a journey into the soul of India, a harmony of history, nature, and luxury. A heartfelt thanks to Rupsa, whose meticulous care and gracious demeanor made our stay seamless and unforgettable, and Sharmaji, whose warm hospitality added a personal touch to every interaction. We look forward to returning to this slice of paradise.

This is an exquisite property in an isolated, secluded area of Varanasi. It is certainly a welcome oasis. Being the former guest house of the local Maharaja, it is devoted with fine antiques, photos and beautiful gardens. The staff is exceptional. All are highly trained and most professional. The kindness and hospitality shown to the guests is noteworthy. The food was delicious and the table settings are elegant. Thank you for making our stay here so very enjoyable.

We stayed at Nadesar overbite in our way to Khajurāho, just to get an experience of a palace. Thanks to Taj loyalty, we were welcome like the King’s guest and were allotted one of the three Royal Suites, which looked like a playground of sorts! - a real big bedroom with amenities and an adjoining big room ( to meet dignatories 😂) Welcome and check-in - Fabulous Room and room service - Excellent Ambience/ surrounding - absolute bliss This is a small property of 14 rooms and though located in the same large complex with Taj Ganges, it has got its own charm, warmth and personal attention. There were too many predators on sting operation ( mosquitoes), but we came out almost unscathed. Not much could be done given the greenery and water bodies around. Food and service is an area where I found could be improved… not the taste which was great, but the ability to understand and serve that’s needed. For eg., if Idly was an item available off the shelf, it still took 10-15 minutes to arrive, when we were a bit delayed to arrive at the breakfast table and in a hurry to catch the flight. We did enjoy our stay and wish we had more time at the property.

We were actually booked for two nights in Taj Ganges. Due to some unlucky circumstances, we were lucky enough 🤣to be upgraded by the front office manager, Mr. Riki, to a room in Nadesar Palace. that was indeed a blessing in disguise. The rooms pleasantly mirror the ambience of the 18th century; pure and comfortably furnished! I know the palace still from its times before the renovation: a royal guesthouse was converted into a beautiful authentic small hotel of only 10 rooms in the 2000s. We enjoyedt the unobtrusive implicitly of service from the receptionist Miss Ruspa over the service in the restaurant by chefs Daksh and Mr.Subham to the more invisibly working housekeepers. No wishes remained open. A deep thanks to all of you!

Did a solo spiritual trip to Benaras and chose this place to stay. One of those very low key yet very comfortable palace stays Taj has to offer. Absolute focus is on the guest and maybe not as big as one would imagine a palace experience to be. Enjoyed the evening barbeque and the horse carriage ride. They were kind to arrange an outside breakfast in absence of a buffet and were serving everything on the table. Rooms are a class apart with towel warmers and amaze coffee! Loved the overall Benaras tour experience arranged by the hotel as well. It was as quiet as I wanted it to be. Silent and meditative.
