Saraca Lucknow, Lucknow

The Saraca Lucknow is a gorgeous heritage property located in the centre of Lucknow. The pretty white bungalow has been beautifully restored to blend a traditional haveli with the rich 'Ganga-Jamuna' culture of Lucknow. The interiors and atmosphere are reminiscent of the early 1900s and the Art Deco period, with vintage furniture, handcrafted artwork and provincial embroidery. View the huge green lawn and glistening outdoor pool from the rooftop bar. All the forty-one rooms open out onto the courtyard or the terrace. Choose to dine in the courtyard surrounded by verandas and the gentle sound of the water fountains, or in the private Urdu tents on the lawns (perfect for a romantic meal), in the traditional Indian and Pan Asian restaurant or the 1936 Italian restaurant – named after the year the bungalow was built. For business travellers there is also a gym. The hotel offers special interest walks around the city exploring the culinary and heritage highlights.
