Haveli Sujaan named after the host’s paternal grandmother dates back over 150 years. The haveli’s traditional architecture gives you a glimpse of the aeons gone by. While the haveli continues to still maintain its original structure, spacious terrace and it’s royal grandeur, it’s revamped to suit your modern tastes. Perched in the heart of Agra, Haveli Sujaan rests 3 km away from the Raja ki Mandi railway station.
