Maqbara 27
Two nights with the whole house to yourselves, breakfasts cooked to order, a guided walk through the old city and lunch in a heritage home.
Bring the family, or three friends: at Maqbara 27 you don't take rooms, you take the house. Two bedrooms, a living room lined with books on Lucknow, a dining room under vaulted arches, and a garden overlooking the Sibtainabad Imambara. Hazratganj is a short walk, the old city a short ride. For a weekend, you live here rather than visit.
The eating is the point. Breakfast is cooked to order in your own house. Lunch, one day, is a home-cooked meal in a heritage home. Dinner is a buffet at Naimat Khana, where the recipes come from the kitchens of old Lucknow families. In between: the Nawabs' monuments on a guided walk, and chikankari with a needle in your own hand.
A restored heritage bungalow on Maqbara Road, in a quiet, leafy pocket at the heart of the city. Parikhana is all Awadhi motifs and handcrafted woodwork; Firangi Mahal is colonial in mood, with vintage European furniture and high ceilings. Both bedrooms are air-conditioned and share one bathroom; a house manager lives on site, parking and wifi are free, and a small kitchen is available on request.

Getting there, and the small print
Good to know
The two bedrooms share one bathroom — the honest trade of staying in a real house, and part of why it suits a family or close friends rather than strangers. Walk and workshop dates follow the guides' calendar, so earlier is easier. The house sleeps four; a party of two or three prices differently — the room options above show how.
What we handle for you
The walk, the workshop and both hosted meals are confirmed with you before you travel, so the weekend arrives already arranged. One number on WhatsApp handles everything, from first question to check-in.
