Welcome to Rajasthan Hotels!

 

About thousands of years the Rajasthan is known for the palatial Rajput fortresses, the defensive Castle, the composite Haveli - was the abode of the nobility where hospitality was a way of life. Visitors, guests, even strangers were welcomed in a tradition that was a part of the lifestyles. And an extensive network of matrimonial alliances amongst the warring clans ensured that all battles ended on the field.

 

The chivalry and gallantry of the warrior clans was reflected in the architecture of the feudal homes. Post independence democratic India witness the merge of the Princely States, abolition of 'Jagirs', land reforms and finally the withdrawal of the special privileges and privy purse from the royal families. A few decades later, consequently the noble families lost their traditional means of livelihood. The large Palaces of the Maharajas set the trend by becoming five star hotels. Now, some of the ancestral homes too find sustenance in this new lease of life - as Heritage Hotels. Each of these Heritage Hotels or ancestral home is different, unique , reflecting its own, exceptional history, tradition and period. Living in a heritage hotel makes one feel like a king.
