Seclude Hotels has launched Seclude Hampi 1800, a six-bedroom royal heritage residence in Sandur, providing an intimate experience in one of India’s most historically rich regions. Situated near the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hampi, this property marks Seclude's entry into a destination renowned for its monuments but often lacking in distinctive accommodation options.
Originally a residence of the Royal family of Sandur, Seclude Hampi 1800 has been meticulously restored, preserving its original character. The residence features original carved artefacts, paintings, and brass pieces belonging to the royal family, seamlessly integrated into the restored spaces to maintain the home's historical essence. Set amidst palm-lined gardens and built in the traditional architectural style of the region, the property offers a serene retreat whilst remaining accessible to Hampi’s temples, bazaars, and historic ruins.
Each of the six rooms is uniquely named, reflecting local history and culture. For instance, the Bazaar Yellow room is inspired by the historic Hampi Bazaar, whilst the Lotus Pink room draws from the sacred lotus associated with Lord Vishnu, highlighting Hampi’s spiritual heritage.
Ramit Sethi, Founder of Seclude Hotels, stated, “We chose Sandur because it reflects what Seclude stands for — offbeat destinations with a strong sense of story.” Rohit Sethi, also a Founder, added, “Our vision was not to convert it into a hotel, but to allow guests to experience it as a living heritage space.”
With Hampi 1800, Seclude Hotels continues to expand its portfolio of heritage homes, focusing on cultural context, thoughtful restoration, and understated hospitality, offering travellers a unique sense of place.
