Fascinated by the picturesque landscape of the placid Ganga and the religious ambience of the city, the rulers of Hathwa Raj constructed the palace in the heart of the town. The palace turned hotel has witnessed its golden period during the days of late Maharaja Krishna Pratap Sahi hailing from a royal family and having a long history of over 3000 years.

The hotel is located at Hathawa Place, Chetganj, Varanasi. Ganga Ghats is located within walking distance (0.5 km) from the hotel and Sarnath is located 10 kms from hotel. The hotel is also located 22 kms from airport and just 1.5 kms from railway station.
