The foundations of Moti Mahal began in 1972, when S. Manjit Singh Arora, guided by his father, established the iconic Moti Mahal Restaurant. Over five decades, it became a beloved culinary landmark synonymous with authentic tastes, warmth, and integrity in Haldwani.
In 2018, the second generation launched Moti Mahal Inn to solve a long-standing challenge for Kumaon travellers: providing clean, spotless, and genuinely comfortable budget lodging right by Haldwani’s transit hubs.
Today, the inn is steered by Joy Arora, a hotelier with over 16 years of hands-on industry experience. The Moti Mahal Inn team personally assists with trip planning (Kainchi Dham, Nainital, Mukteshwar, Bhimtal, Jim Corbett and more), honest local taxi bookings, and itinerary advice, ensuring no traveller is overcharged when heading into the hills.
