Nineteenth-century palace on Dashashwamedh — river-view terraces, heritage rooms, and the ghat at your doorstep.
Palace stone above the main ghat
BrijRama Palace occupies a nineteenth-century Maratha-era building on the Ganga at Dashashwamedh — close enough to hear conch shells at evening aarti from the terrace. The banarasi pillar is architectural: carved balconies, river light at dawn, the old city pressing against every window. This is not Cantt distance; this is Kashi with linen and room service.
Rooms and views
River-facing suites justify the tariff — you watch boats depart for Ganges boat rides while chai arrives. Interior courtyard rooms trade panorama for quiet. Heritage classification means character over uniform floor plans; expect stone, wood, and occasional narrow passages.
Why stay here on the circuit
Walk to Kashi Vishwanath at dawn, return for breakfast, descend for aarti at dusk. Pair with old city food walk afternoons. For contrast night, dine at Behind Yellow Doors in Cantt another evening.

Visitor questions
Roughly ten to fifteen minutes on foot through the old city lanes — allow extra time during festival crowds.
