the house
The house is the experience.
French Haveli has lived through more than a century of Ahmedabad’s history. Its open courtyard, carved timber, patterned floors and traditional jhula have been restored without removing the intimacy of the original home.
The name records a real chapter. In 2000 an Indo-French project began restoring the old city, and the French architects who worked on this haveli lived in it. Today Threee Foundation keeps it as a five-room guesthouse.

the rooms
Five rooms, no two alike.
Each room keeps its Gujarati name. Chabutro, the bird feeder. Malo, the nest. Agaashi, the terrace.

the courtyard
At the centre of the Haveli, the sky becomes part of the house.
Ten years after the first tour, Rajiv Patel of Threee Foundation walks the same rooms again. Watch the 2024 film to see how the house actually feels.
the pol
Step outside. Ahmedabad begins at the door.
The pol is a working neighbourhood, and the house sits in the middle of it. These are the things guests do most. The team arranges each one.

finding us
The final hundred metres are part of the old city.
The haveli sits inside Dhal ni Pol, a pedestrian-scale neighbourhood of the 600-year-old walled city. Cars stop at the main road. From there the house is about a hundred metres on foot.
Arrive at Dhal ni Pol
Ask any driver for the Dhal ni Pol gate. The airport is about 11 km away, the railway station about 2.
Walk or take a rickshaw
The last stretch passes sub-pols, bird feeders and front steps. Autos can come in as far as Khijada Sheri.
The team meets you
Call ahead and someone from the house waits at the gate and helps with luggage.
There is no car parking at the property. Arrival help is part of the welcome.
