If there is one word to describe Banaras, it would be mysterious!

Known as one of the world’s oldest cities ever witnessed by mankind, Banaras is regarded as the spiritual capital of India. With bustling streets, rich traditions, ancient culture and traditional ghats, Banaras truly portrays the real essence of India. Though our visit to Banaras was for a short time, but the memories we experienced will stay with us for a very very long time! And our visit to Banaras couldn’t have been more perfect without the remarkable hospitability by Surya Kaiser Palace!

The spiritual capital of India

We were travelling from Mathura by train and we experienced a huge delay of 8 hours. We were to arrive at 3.30pm but we could only make it to Varanasi Junction at 11.00pm because of the unexpected postponement. Even after reaching at almost midnight, the restaurant staff at Surya Kaiser managed to prepare a meal especially for us and beautifully arrange it in our room for convenience. It is these small gestures that win your hearts and we will never forget how effortlessly we were made to feel comfortable even after having such a tiring day.

SURYA KAISER- A BANARAS ORIGINAL

Originally built by King Kaiser Of Nepal in 1818, Surya Kaiser Palace now a full-fledged hotel promoting supreme hospitality to guests across the world. Located in the Cantonment area, the Surya Kaiser Palace is accessible to the airport and railway station, as well as the Buddhist holy site Saranath and numerous Hindu temples on the holy river Ganga. Hotel Surya was founded in 1982 beginning with just eight guest rooms. At that time, the hotel was surrounded with fields and orchards and was just one of the two hotels in the area.

We have never come across a restaurant that does justice to all its cuisines (Indian & International) and Canton Royale is certainly the only one. A perfect blend of quality and taste that will keep your taste buds longing for hours! The staff at Canton Royale is friendly, vigilant and definitely wins your heart by their supreme hospitality. We had a chance to meet the Head Chef, and by all means we were floored by the way the entire staff has been trained, and the various combinations & constant experiments that are done in their dishes across the diverse cuisines toalways deliver a notch- higher service!

A special highlight is the early morning & evening boat ride arranged by the staff. The sunrise boat ride as well as evening aarti at the ghats is not be missed when you are here! We were fortunate enough to experience both of them with Gopal (our boat man). Gopal juggles his day with two jobs within a day-one as a boatman and another as the swimming pool care taker at the palace. Even though he never went to a formal school, because of his constant interaction with the foreign guests he speaks English with almost an ‘accent’ and can greet you in more than 8 languages! He was our constant go-to person when it came to asking anything about the Hotel or Banaras.
