Houseboat Ambassador
Located in the world famous Dal lake which is often called the “Jewel in the crown of Kashmir”, Houseboat Ambassador can be accessed through a 5 minutes shikara ride from Boulevard Road, Gate NO.7 (situated on the right side of the Srinagar-Harwan road which runs along the bank of the Dal lake). The Houseboat is an architectural miracle blended with hospitality beyond compare that gives our valued guests a feel of being home even away from their homes. The deluxe rooms of Houseboat Ambassador are adorned with exquisite pieces of walnut wood, and with time they have been rendered more or less as artefact's that serve an evidence of our traditional hospitality. Houseboats in kashmir are one of the dream destinations in the world, which fascinates the tourists coming here to explore and experience its hospitality. The Houseboats are not only competitive but also comfortable in all respects. Houseboat Ambassador is counted among the top best Houseboats in dal lake and is also one of the few Houseboats that has the facility of internet and wifi for the comfort of our guests so that they stay in touch with their friends and family members back home whilst their stay.
Houseboat Ambassador is in travel trade business for more than hundred years, since 1914. It is our endeavor to provide quality accommodation to our esteemed clients that we are used to over the years. Located in the beautiful Dal lake we offer Houseboat featuring all the modern facilities and amenities.
The neighborhood of Houseboat Ambassador is what distinguishes it from the other Houseboats. Away from the hustle bustle of roads, you’ll enjoy the surroundings. The Houseboat is also close to the yummy restaurants, cafe’s and market.
