Guests can now choose to stay in the brand-new room category, Deluxe Suites, which overlook the Rishikesh Valley or Maharaja’s gardens. The two new Deluxe Suites offer a private balcony where guests can unwind and soak up their natural surroundings. These suites also have separate living areas, life-sized mirrors, bathtubs and windows offering stunning views. The Garden Suite exclusively features a secluded garden with an outdoor deck, offering the ultimate privacy.

Along with these new suites, the redesign project also features updates to the Ananda Suite and Viceregal Suite. The three-bay Ananda Suite overlooks the valley and features a large, private garden with a gazebo, perfect for outdoor relaxation. The historic Viceregal Suite sports its own private terrace with a rooftop gazebo overlooking the surrounding gardens and nearby Ganga Valley.

“At Ananda, we are deeply committed to a design philosophy that harmonizes each space with the natural beauty of our surroundings, creating an immersive experience that brings guests closer to a sense of inner peace and renewal. In response to a growing desire among our guests for more spacious accommodations, we reimagined our guest rooms into three luxurious new suites — two spacious two-bay Deluxe Suites and a new Garden Suite. At the same time, we renovated our timeless Ananda and Viceregal suites. These enhancements reflect our dedication to providing not just a stay, but a sanctuary for the soul in the heart of the Himalayas,” said Aashica Khanna, director, Ananda in the Himalayas.

Williamsburg Inn Review

You don’t have to love brass chandeliers or brocade to appreciate what Williamsburg Inn does best: delivering a polished, unpretentious stay amid America’s most iconic living history museum. This is where you check in for traditional luxury without feeling like you’re trapped in a time capsule. The Queen stayed here (twice), and so did Eisenhower, but you’re not here to make history. You’re here to enjoy it, on your own terms.

Plan a Legendary Gathering in Honolulu

Myths and origin stories form a powerful framework for the history of Hawai‘i. Marking the horizon behind Honolulu, the ancient volcanic formation of Lē‘ahi — technically a volcanic tuff cone more commonly known to the world as Diamond Head — provides a constant physical reminder of the tales that shaped the history of this location. While researching legends for my Hawai‘i-based Dark Paradise Mysteries series (Kensington Books), I learned the tale of the demigod Maui, who used his enchanted fishing hook to reach into the sea to heave the Hawaiian islands, including Diamond Head, above the surface of the water.
