About Kridha Residency

A boutique hotel born of devotion.

Kridha Residency

Born of bhakti, built for the journey within.

The name Kridha takes its root from kreeda, the divine play of Krishna in the forests of Braj. Our boutique hotel is a tribute to that play, to the eternal love of Radha and Krishna, and to the spiritual fabric of Vrindavan that has drawn pilgrims for millennia.

Founded by a family of travellers and devotees, Kridha was conceived as a sanctuary for the modern pilgrim, a place where the comforts one expects of a boutique stay meet the quiet, contemplative pace of the holy city. Fifty-one rooms and suites, each appointed with rustic Braj influences and hand-painted Krishna-Radha artwork.

Opposite Prem Mandir. Steps from Banke Bihari. A short walk from the Yamuna.

A Note from Us

Welcome to our home.

We built Kridha to honour the land that has shaped our lives. When you stay with us, you are not a guest in a hotel, you are a pilgrim in the home of a family that believes, like you, in the small miracles of Braj. Whether you stay for a night or a fortnight, may you leave feeling lighter than when you arrived.
