Anand Kashi by the Ganges Rishikesh - IHCL Seleqtions

The property was in the perfect location along the banks of the Holy river Ganges. The lush gardens were like an oasis which created the atmosphere of relaxation amongst the beauty of nature. The room was large,cleaned daily and very comfortable. the toiletries provided were of a very high standard (forest essential products)The staff were outstanding tending to your every needs. We were totally spoiled by the entire staff for our wedding anniversary by: a bunch of red roses,freshly baked anniversary cake, floral sign across our bed then a bottle of champagne for dinner together with a private table on a private deck with music and another chocolate freshly baked anniversary cake. To top this off everywhere we went on that day, in the resort, the staff would wish us a Happy Anniversary. WOW WOW WOW. I loved the morning yoga sessions by the river and the spa treatments added to the state of rest and relaxation. Spa staff were very friendly and professional. Happy Hour at the bar went for two hours. A bit pricey but worth every penny.

The most well-thoughts and genuine hospitality experience (It exceeded a 5 star Japanese hospitality service). Other than the four days of great resort experience, there are some special things to mention: 1. Exceptional Check in/out experience: they provided a welcome drink to comfort the nausea feeling after a long trip from the airport. During the check out, they offered a cake while checking out and asking for feedback. And gave a blessing of water by Ganga river as a souvenir to bring back. This warm gesture isn't just protocol as the other 5-7 stars hotels do. It's well-thoughts and empathizes with the travellers sincerely. 2. Culture experience: there is a Ganga's Arrti at the river bank everyday. We got a chance to participate in a ritual and dip in the holy water with a safe, clean condition. The ritual was beautiful. It's the same authenticity as visiting the most famous Ganga Arrti but in a private setting. 3. Activities: we didn't get bored with our stay. We did morning yoga sessions next to the swimming pool and river view every morning. The yoga instructor was very nice. She guided us depending on our condition. There was a very interesting stargazing experience (paid), the guided was very knowledgeable to share a lot of stories. 4. Restaurant was amazing. I tasted all kinds of Indian dishes from north to south. It was very delicious. 5. I especially love the shower gel products. Came to know it's a famous brand for organic beauty care brand.

great location and lovely rooms

absolutely love how the hotel is in the middle of so much nature. The staff is also extremely hospitable and accommodating to all guest needs. Loved the private Ganga ghat, infinity swimming pool and the evening snacks session also.

Immaculate grounds, beautiful location along the Ganga.
