Baruah Bhavan

Top choice in Guwahati


This charming 1950s house on Manik Chandra (MC) Rd was built by a celebrated Assamese scholar and has lots of antiques and memorabilia strewn across its living areas. But it's the six individually styled rooms and the attentive service that make it an exceptional place to stay. Not forgetting the flavourful and generous home-cooked meals (veg/nonveg dinner ₹300/350).
