Varanasi & Delhi
Three design hotels — two of them within reach of the Kashi ghats.
ONE OFF builds small, design-led hotels rooted in the place they sit in rather than a chain template. For our purposes the Varanasi pair matter most — both put guests close to the ghats without putting them in the middle of the crush.
Two further properties are in development, in Jaipur and Banaras.

Our answer to the hardest accommodation problem in the yatra business: where to put a family in Varanasi. Close enough to walk to the ghats for the aarti, far enough to sleep afterwards.
