Seclude Hotels launches Hampi 1800

Seclude Hotels has announced the launch of Seclude Hampi 1800, a six-bedroom royal heritage residence located in Sandur, near the Hampi UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The property is one of the former residences of the Royal family of Sandur and has been restored with a focus on preserving its original character. The residence retains original carved artefacts, paintings and brass pieces belonging to the royal family, which have been integrated into the restored spaces.

Set amid palm-lined gardens and designed in the region’s traditional architectural style, Seclude Hampi 1800 offers a private stay while remaining close to Hampi’s temples, bazaars and historic ruins.

Commenting on the launch, Ramit Sethi, Founder of Seclude Hotels, said, “We chose Sandur because it reflects what Seclude stands for — offbeat destinations with a strong sense of story. Being so close to the rich, timeless heritage of Hampi gives this home a soul that you simply cannot recreate. It’s a place with character, shaped by its own story.”

Each of the six rooms is individually named and inspired by local history and culture. Room names reference regional landmarks and spiritual symbolism, drawing from Hampi’s historical and religious legacy.

Rohit Sethi, Founder of Seclude Hotels, added, “This home holds deep historical and emotional value. Our vision was not to convert it into a hotel, but to allow guests to experience it as a living heritage space where stories, architecture and hospitality come together naturally.”

With this launch, Seclude Hotels expands its portfolio of heritage residences.
