Once a neglected 100-year-old compound, Baghban Haveli was carefully restored and given a new life as a heritage stay in Ahmedabad. Situated in Dal Ni Pol, within the city's historic center, guests can live like locals while enjoying posh lodgings and conveniences. You'll start off each day with a delicious breakfast, while lunch, dinner, and snacks can be prepared upon request. Explore the districts of Ahmedabad, shopping at centuries-old market streets and visiting temples and mosques. When you're not out and about, you'll have plenty of ways to relax, like reading a book from the haveli's library while sitting on the swing, and slowly sipping a cup of warm chai on the terrace.
When Kaushik Majitha and his brothers, Rajendra and Tejas, sought to expand their business in another direction, they decided to give something back to their city. They purchased one of the rundown old houses in Ahmedabad's historic pols, a 100-year-old townhouse, and transformed it into an authentic heritage stay. The restoration work was done by Rajiv Patel and his THREEE Foundation, who has also been the ones to restore French Haveli in the same area.
As a traditional Gujarati home, Baghban Haveli features many traditional designs the region is known for. The most striking would be the intricate wood carvings on the pillars, windows, and doorways. Complementing it are floral filigrees carved in stone. Stained glass decor and marble tiles that provide luxurious accents to the home. Adding to the heritage touches are the native furniture, which includes an indoor jhula swing.
