Anand Kashi’s 24-themed rooms, conceptualised on the Vedic Panchamahabhuta philosophy, offer breathtaking views of thick forests, lofty mountain ranges, lush fruit orchards, and the Ganges. The hotel showcases Garhwali architecture with a contemporary touch.

The all-day diner, Ana Rasa, gives a taste of global cuisines along with a slice of fresh organic produce from the hotel’s orchards. Guests can enjoy a starry night at the rooftop bar, Amrit Tara, or have a relaxed meal at the Ganga Deck. The flexible conference rooms are perfectly equipped for intimate business meetings and conferences.
