Had enough of the city life, and want to just unwind by the river Ganga? Well then, do just that at the Amrit Bhawan boutique hotel in Haridwar. An imposing art deco building with rooms all uniquely designed and appointed, the river view one is the best. Expect constellations embossed in metal on the ceiling, rattan furniture and terrazzo tiles to kick it back really old-school and awesome. While you’ll probably be tempted to pick up a book and ready the weekend away - in the rooftop Jacuzzi no less, make a trip to the nearby markets or ask for a picnic hike to a neighbouring temple.
Price: INR 12,000 upwards
LBB Tip: The thalis here are top notch, and you can get yourself snacks and even nourishing, organic packaged stuff to take back from Naashta, their in-house brand. Take home panjiri, Pisyu Loom, Pahari Namak, granola and more, if you really want the best of pure mountain ingredients.
