Fodor's Expert Review Radisson Hotel Varanasi
The Mall, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, 221002, India Fodor's Choice
Plush and always lively, this hotel in the relatively noise-free Cantonment is a favorite for its luxurious settings and well-maintained and upscale amenities. The bright and spacious rooms feature green marble and dark wood floors, pale green and cream silk throws, flat-screen TVs, and upscale bath products. The deep red and gold lobby is always bustling with activity—and large groups. The Great Kebab Factory, the hotel's specialty restaurant, is a big draw for its authentic Uttar Pradesh cuisine and kebabs grilled in a show kitchen.
