Haridwar is one of the most sacred cities of India, finding mention in a number of ancient texts and scriptures. The holy Ganges emerges from the Himalayas at Haridwar and blesses the subcontinent’s heartland with prosperity, probably the reason the city is considered the Gateway to the Gods. Pilgrims, spiritual seekers and tourists from all over the world arrive in the city every year, to revere, relish and relax.

The Haveli Hari Ganga Hotel in Haridwar by Leisure Hotels is a luxury Heritage hotel set on the banks of the holy Ganges. It was built in 1913, for hosting royal guests of the then Maharaja of Pilibhit, today Haveli Hari Ganga Hotel offers a regal experience of exuberant luxury for devotees and tourists arriving in Haridwar. The hotel retains its royal enigma with ornately furnished interiors and antique paraphernalia. The rooms, balconies and courtyards with their heritage trappings evoke a nostalgic sentiment for the glorious past in the patrons.

The renowned “Har ki Pauri” ghat is also nearby the Haveli Hari Ganga Hotel in Haridwar. The ghat is a legacy of King Vikramaditya, and believers gather here for “Ganga Aarti”, lighting up the river with thousands of floral diyas.
