Fodor's Expert Review Jukaso Ganges
CK 1/14 Patni Tola Chowk, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, 221010, India
Accessed by boat from the nearby Dasaswamedh Ghat, this stunning sandstone heritage hotel on the Ganges is perfect for a romantic getaway or a personal retreat. Tasteful and cozy, most rooms overlook the river, and the elegant terrace beneath marbled Mughal arches is also a great place to take in the river views. There's a stylish inner courtyard, decorated with Rajasthani pictures and plush white sofas contrasting neatly with the art deco black-and-white-check marble floor. The rooftop restaurant has excellent mixed cuisine.
PROS

- complimentary transfer to Dasaswamedh Ghat to watch the Ganga Arti prayer ceremony
- yoga and meditation room
CONS
- boat access impossible during monsoon, and it's quite a trek overland
- monsoon can flood the lobby
