Mangaldas Ni Haveli - Traditional Style and Modern Comfort in the Heart of Ahmedabad

Prepare to be transported back in time to an oasis of calm at Mangaldas ni Haveli during your next stay in the heart of Ahmedabad. Split into two bed-and-breakfast style boutique hotels, the Mangaldas ni Haveli 1 and Mangaldas ni Haveli 2 have been lovingly refurbished by the owners of Ahmedabad’s famous hotel the House of MG. Mangaldas ni Haveli 1 dates back 250 years and was once the property of the powerful Nager Brahmin family. The property has been fully restored to its former glory and is set around a central courtyard with ancient wood-beamed ceilings, antique furnishings, and an ornately carved façade. The muted creamy white and green palette perfectly complements the pre-colonial feel of the structure. Mangaldas ni Haveli ii by the house of MG is the younger sibling of the two, dating back 150 years and displaying a more vibrant look with a bold red, green, and gold palette. Situated just around the corner from its sister property in the Gangadhiya ni Pol, Mangaldas ni Haveli ii is a quirky property that combines the city’s ancient heritage of colored glass, paneled doors, and iron grills with bright colors, modern floors and furniture, and contemporary art on its walls.

Next door to Mangaldas ni Haveli 2 is the Pol-Kholi Cafe, which translates as ‘Open Secret’, and is popular both with visitors and locals alike because of its outdoor ambience, street-food style snacks, and refreshing squeezed juices. Although both of the Mangaldas ni Haveli were originally acquired to cater to an overflow of guests from the House of MG boutique hotel, they have quickly acquired a reputation among the Ahmedabad famous hotels as stunning heritage properties in the very heart of the old walled city. Guests of the Mangaldas Haveli are also just a stone’s throw from the ancient city’s numerous attractions which can be explored on foot or by rickshaw on specially curated tours crafted by the expert team at the House of MG.
