The team of Hotel Sugar Stars Inn, eight staff in white shirts and black ties, standing together indoors.

A family-run hotel in Varanasi, since 2018.

Eighteen rooms in Mahmoorganj, 3 km from Kashi Vishwanath Temple, built from 2018 and still run by the people who own them.

We treat our guests like our family.

At Sugar Stars Inn we believe in treating our guests as part of an extended family. With eighteen rooms, we are small enough to give every guest personal attention, and we would rather stay that size.

From the moment you arrive, we try to make the stay seamless. That might mean arranging an airport transfer, organising a city tour in our own car, or putting you on a boat at dawn to see the ghats and the aarti from the water.

Our in-house kitchen serves food we would eat ourselves. Our team is used to hosting both Indian and international guests, and will happily tell you which sights are worth your morning and how to get to them.

Varanasi painted by Varanasi artists.

We commissioned artists from Varanasi to paint the hotel. A sadhu on the stairwell. Nandi at the landing. The moonlit ghats above the beds. The building carries some of the city in it before you step outside.

A wall mural in orange tones of a sadhu, a black bull and temple domes above a boat.
A painted canvas of the moonlit Varanasi ghats with rowing boats and a sadhu's face in the sky.
A stairwell hung with large commissioned paintings of a sadhu and of a black bull.

A note from the owner

"Being a traveller myself, I make sure Sugar Stars Inn is run with a traveller's perspective in mind. We try to build the stay we would want to have. Cleanliness is not negotiable for us, and neither is honesty about what we can and cannot do.

Welcome to our home away from home. We are committed to making your stay as sweet as sugar."
