Once upon a time, Khan Klub resembled a part of some fabled land right out of an ancient tale. Today the boutique hotel — that was actually a Hindu haveli — was enveloped in particles of flour, and looks nothing like it used to. The hotel building was now in a shambles and its halls have been turned into a flour godown. Located near historic Chowk Yadgar and Balahisar Fort at Hasthnagri, Khan Klub (KK) was home of centuries old civilisations with a traditional craftsmanship, that witnessed the vigour of Mughals and onslaughts of warriors, kings and British who marched to the Subcontinent through the historic Khyber Pass. Khan Klub with its glorious history accommodated thousands of people, art lovers and tourists by being used as a residence, guest-house and hotel.
