Pilibhit House, Haridwar – Ihcl SeleQtions

We recently stayed at this beautiful property and honestly, it was one of the best vacations our family has ever had. The place is an absolute gem peaceful, elegant, and thoughtfully designed. Every corner of the property adds to the charm and made our stay truly memorable mixed with the essence of the holy place Haridwar and its significant towards river Ganga. But what made it even more special were the people who took care of us with such warmth and professionalism. A big shoutout to Mr. Vikas, Mr. Hemant, Nikita, Mr. Jitendra, and Poonam ,each one of them went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and happy. Their hospitality was genuinely touching and made all the difference. If you’re looking for a place to unwind with your loved ones, this is the one. We’re going back with hearts full of gratitude and memories for a lifetime. Highly recommended!

Spent three days here for my birthday in March 2035. Hats off to the GM Vikas. The team is excellent and very hospitable. Service with a smile and never a no. The location is great and the rooms are very comfortable. I was amazed at the quality of the vegetarian food. It's so good and the variety is immense.

I would give more stars if I could! Staying at Pilibhit house was definitely the best decision that made this a flawless trip. Here’s the quick rundown - Mr Ajay came to pick us up at the airport, we were greeted by Mr Yamlal ji at the door followed by the reception team led by Nikita, manager Mr Hemant and the rest with a beautiful welcome ceremony. They explained the various in house activities that take place daily - guided morning walk to Har ki pairi, yoga with Dr Vishal, delicious breakfast with desi chai (thanks to chef Deepak and team Kuldeep, Disha, Anuj, Ajay, Kishan and the rest), navgrah puja, afternoon high tea, evening aarti at the hotel’s own ghaat followed by scrumptious multi cuisine dinner. We took dips in Ganga at the hotel ghaat many times under the watchful eye of our safety guard Gurmeet. Our housekeeper Vikas was absolutely outstanding taking swift action on all of our needs. The best part was that everyone on the staff is very well trained and always smiling and courteous. The hotel also invites musicians throughout the day - Mr Basu starts the day with serene flute, A father-son duo plays harmonium and tabla during daily high tea, and then Mr Randeep who is a master pianist and keyboard player during dinner create a lively atmosphere. The hotel also offers many guided experiences for guests such as Rishikesh tour, wildlife safari, river rafting, local Haridwar tour, in house spa etc. you can also ask for a personal request such as day trip to Masoori or Dev Prayag. Our guides Mr Azadgiri, Mr Arvind and Mr Gautam were very experienced and knowledgeable. Thanks also to our drivers, the two Ajay’s, Paramjeet and rickshaw drivers Ajay Goswami ji and Vijay ji. The most amazing part was that during our farewell ceremony we were offered dahi-gud (yogurt and jaggery) which is traditional Hindu way of wishing farewell and happy journey! I sincerely hope that Maa Ganga will call me back to Haridwar and I can come back to Pilibhit house many times.

We planned a casual trip to Haridwar with not much expectations from the property. However, on arrival we were completely mesmerized by the property and more so from the BIG HEARTS of the staff. The place is completely out of the world. From positive vibes to the Tajness of the brand, everything was to the T. All this is attributed to the leadership emanating from the GM. But to name a few personal, I will like to place on record the following names:- Yamuna, Disha, Anshika, Kishan & Ajay for their professional demeanor. Chef Rohit & Udai Pandit for the amazing dishes they innovate. Jitender for being so knowledgeable about the history of the property and the places around.

Taj as usual excellent due to it staff which i will mention first Kishan ( at resturant ) ,Sonu ,Yamlal ( Door *** helps in everything ),Priya ,Shahbaaz, Akash. Chef Deepak Singh Rawat who came to attend a saml issue and made it a point to rectify it to our taste. This is a beautiful proeprty and best if you are coming with old parents , there is lift at every step. The icing on the cake is a special chair ( not lift chair) at ghats which take the elderly right upto the water bank. There is changing room with enough towels and life gaurd to help till 6 pm. May parents are both over 80 years and I was so happy and thankful to staff and Taj becoz of whom, they could a dip in ganges. Rooms are huge and tastefully and wonderfully redecorated , ample and good toiletries. The turn down service and room service staff do an excellent job. Breakfast is just wow and very nicely curated . parking is doen by hotel staff and they do clean ur car in case it rains while returning . We did meet the GM Vikas Nagar . Thanks again
