The highest-rated is Hotel Singh Residency, with a 9.4 guest rating and a location a 5-minute walk from Kabir Chaura Math. For a riverside setting, the 5-star Brijrama Palace on the Ganges offers a rating of 9.1, while more budget-friendly picks like Hotel Ananya Inn near Assi Ghat score 8.5.

Places for Couples in Varanasi

Couples visiting Varanasi typically base themselves near the ghats to be close to the Ganges experience. The highest-rated options for couples are near Sarnath, like Hotel Buddha Park (8.7 rating, from ₹4,680) or the central Hotel Ananya Inn (8.5 rating, from ₹1,719). For a truly memorable stay, the riverside heritage hotels such as Brijrama Palace and Palace On Ganges offer rooftop views of the ghats and ancient architecture. Cheaper than some may expect, you can find a comfortable base for two under ₹2,500, though a palace stay will cost upwards of ₹20,000.

Which area is best to stay in Varanasi for a first visit?

For a first visit, staying near the ghats, particularly Assi Ghat or Dashashwamedh Ghat, is ideal. This puts you in the heart of the old city and close to the Ganges, with many heritage hotels like Brijrama Palace and Hotel Temple On Ganges located within walking distance.

How can I get from Varanasi Airport to my hotel?

Most of the romantic hotels selected are in the city center, a 30-45 minute drive from Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport. Taxis are readily available, and many hotels like Ramada Plaza By Wyndham Jhv and Hotel Clarks Varanasi offer convenient airport transfers upon request, with parking for self-drivers.

Romantic Hotels in Varanasi

Romance in Varanasi isn't about candlelit dinners; it's about the Ganges. Many of our selected hotels line the river, with rooftop terraces facing the ghats, where you can watch the evening aarti without leaving your hotel. Expect heritage charm—palaces, havelis, and colonial-era bungalows—often set in old city lanes near temples and bustling markets. The prices reflect this duality: you can find a clean, central stay for as little as ₹1,624 per night, but riverside heritage palaces like Brijrama Palace command ₹27,027 and up.

The selection includes a mix of hotels, along with a few guest houses, inns, and bed & breakfasts that fill the same romantic niche. Most properties are 3-star (17 of them), with a smaller number of 4-star and 5-star options, and one adults-only hotel for complete privacy. While your fellow guests will appreciate the spiritual atmosphere, these stays are designed for comfort—expect free parking at many, rooftop lounges, and easy access to Dashashwamedh Ghat.

The bottom line

This selection of romantic hotels in Varanasi is ideal for couples seeking a blend of heritage, spirituality, and intimacy, especially those who want to stay near the Ganges and experience the ghats without a long commute. The set is heavily weighted towards 3-star heritage properties, so if you prefer a modern luxury chain, you might look at 4-star or 5-star hotels in Varanasi. For budget-conscious pairs, the cheapest and budget hotels in Varanasi list offers even more affordable options, while spa hotels in Varanasi could add pampering to your romantic getaway.
