**Ahmedabad, India (March 7, 2025)** – A 150-year-old ancestral home in Ahmedabad has been meticulously restored and reopened as jüSTa Diwans Bungalow, a luxurious boutique hotel. The property, built in the 1860s by the great-grandfather of renowned architect IM Kadri, boasts eight uniquely designed rooms blending colonial Gujarati architecture with modern amenities.
The hotel features heirloom artifacts, paintings, and family portraits throughout, preserving the family’s history. Notable guests at the bungalow in its past included Mahatma Gandhi, Vallabhbhai Patel, and Morarji Desai. The hotel’s restaurant, Dalan, offers an all-day menu featuring heirloom family recipes, with dishes like paneer begum bahaar and khatta gosht receiving high praise.
After a period under the management of the Neemrana Group, the property relaunched under jüSTa Hotels in October 2024. Proceeds from the hotel support the Rah-e-Khair Girls’ School, educating nearly 3,000 girls. The renovation involved three phases over the past decade, carefully incorporating modern conveniences while preserving the historical integrity of the structure.
jüSTa Diwans Bungalow offers guests curated tours exploring Ahmedabad’s rich history and architecture, including visits to significant landmarks and textile centers. The hotel provides a unique opportunity to experience the old-world charm of Ahmedabad, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a historical and culturally immersive holiday.
