Experience Goa’s timeless charm and heritage wrapped in luxury

Whether it's a cultural escape, a romantic getaway or a travel layover, WelcomHeritage Panjim Inn offers unique options across three heritage buildings in Panjim's popular locality of Fontainhas

Located at the centre of Fontainhas, Goa’s much-loved Latin Quarter, WelcomHeritage Panjim Inn offers travellers more than just a stay. The charming heritage property offers a step back in time.

Built in 1888 by Francis Assis de Silveira, the home has been lovingly preserved by his great-grandson, Ajit Sukhija, who manages the property with his family. This heritage hotel in Panjim is a living piece of history, just right for travellers looking for a unique and authentic stay in Fontainhas.

Spread across three heritage properties, the main block of Panjim Inn has two wings — the old and the new — and 24 well-appointed rooms. Within the old block, guests can look around through charming colonial details, including carved railings that still bear the initials of the original owner.

Just next door is the Panjim Peoples block, which was used for schooling —People’s High School. Retaining its historical name, this part of the hotel offers guests a rare chance to stay where royalty once did. Apparently, the Maharaja of Jodhpur is also believed to have occupied one of its suites.

The four rooms here are filled with hand-picked antiques, many from Sukhija’s personal collection. One such piece is a stunning four-poster bed that was rescued from being chopped up in the nearby village of Divar.

Another unique, and third option for your stay is the Panjim Pousada, a heritage home once owned by the then only Hindu family in the neighbourhood.

The property still features a tulsi vrindavan in the central courtyard, honouring its roots. With just nine rooms, this block offers an intimate and serene setting with antique furniture, traditional artwork from the art gallery, Gallery Gitanjali, and lovingly restored architectural features.

Across its three properties, the hotel offers 37 beautifully preserved heritage rooms, each equipped with air-conditioning, en suite bathrooms, hot water, and a clearly marked fire exit plan to ensure guest safety. This balance of modern comfort with colonial charm makes it one of the top heritage hotels in Goa for both, leisure and cultural travellers.

One of the highlights is dining at the multi-cuisine restaurant, located on the first floor of Panjim Inn. With views of the vibrant streets of Fontainhas, it offers international and Goan cuisines, including must-try dishes, like Pork Sorpotel, farm-fresh Cashew Curry, and Samarachi Kodi.

To top it off, quite literally, the hotel features a jacuzzi pool on the rooftop — a cosy and private spot to unwind with a drink and soak in the Goan vibe.
