Fodor's Expert Review Taj Gateway Hotel Ganges
Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, 221002, India
Rooms at the Gateway are modern, done in soft colors with brass-accented furniture and eclectic Indian art, and most are spacious. The upper-story rooms facing the adjacent Nadesar Palace are cozy and quiet, with great garden views. Grab the yoga mat from your room (they all have them) and attend the free yoga sessions in the morning. Dine at the specialty Varuna restaurant for a posh Indian meal, or at the GAD restaurant overlooking the pool.
PROS
- lots of space to take peaceful walks without fear of being run over in this crowded city
- poolside barbecue in winter
- lovely pool on grassy grounds
CONS
- a tour-group magnet
- rooms lack local charm
- impersonal ambience
