A contemporary heritage-inspired hospitality destination in Srinagar, thoughtfully designed to blend modern luxury with traditional Kashmiri craftsmanship
The brief
Hotel Comrade Inn, located in Rajbagh, Srinagar, was envisioned as a contemporary hospitality space rooted in Kashmir’s rich architectural heritage. Spanning 20,000 sq ft, the project follows a “Modern Luxury” design philosophy that balances minimalist functionality with intricate traditional craftsmanship.
A defining element of the project is the integration of traditional Khatambandh ceiling work — a distinctive form of polygonal wood joinery native to Kashmir — thoughtfully incorporated throughout the hotel interiors. The design brings together contemporary comfort and cultural identity, creating a refined 40-room hospitality environment that reflects both elegance and local character.
