Alsisar Mahal is the battle hardened palace in the town of Alsisar in Shekhawati Region of Rajasthan. Earlier Alsisar Mahal was the residence of the Thakur of Alsisar, which is recently renovated and refurbished into a luxurious heritage hotel. Alsisar, famous for castles, Havelis and Cenotaphs is a small town surrounded by semi arid desert, situated in the north-western part of Jhunjhunu district in Rajasthan. It originated in the form of small Havelis' collection in the town and later developed in the form of huge havelis which today stands tall and leaves a history behind them. There are hundreds of havelis in this area which bear the wonderful fresco paintings in various everlasting colours and designs. Each speaks with full throated ease about the glorious past of Shekhawati. They are the masterpiece of art and architecture created centuries ago. This is the reason the land of Alsisar Mahal is popularly known as open art gallery.
Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.
Nestled in the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan Alsisar Mahal transports you into an era of unmatched magnificence. Right from the intricate artwork to beautifully done interiors and well maintained antiques, Alsisar Mahal enthralls you in every little way. The Grandeur of this property is praiseworthy and will leave you awestruck. We visited Alsisar Mahal for 2 days and enjoyed our stay in their Super Deluxe room which was beyond grand. The room had a king size bed, tea coffee facility, a huge seating area, dressing room and a well quipped bathroom. Since I visited during the winters, the heaters were also facilitated. The property has a beautiful courtyard, a vast pool side area, a grand dining area and a roof top from which you can see the entire property and the area that surrounds it. The property is well maintained and cleanliness and hygiene are given a top priority. There are theme based areas/lounges in the property which are extremely pleasing to see. The World War Lounge and Badal Mahal were one of a kind and extremely picturesque. Talking about the food, it is absolutely sumptuous. We enjoyed all our meals as the ingredients were fresh and everything we ordered tasted great. The highlight of my stay was the Safari to a nearby semi arid desert where we spotted deers and evening tea was facilitated. The staff accompanied us during this Safari and made sure we were comfortable and enjoyed our visit. An overall thumbs up to this property and I would love to visit here again.

We took a short family trip to this property in early October and were all quite pleasantly surprised with the place and the service offered. The hotel has been very well restored and maintained by the owners who seem to be managing the hotel themselves rather than giving it to a chain. This is quite visible with the personal service the staff offers. The hotel being a heritage property maintains the old world charm with all the modern amenities. The food is excellent and the focus on local cuisine is great. There are no televisions in any of the room's it gives you ample opportunity to relax and spend time with the family. The pool is really great and the hotel offers poolside service which is really great since one would like to spend most of the day there.
However, I think more than anything it is the staff that makes the place really amazing. They are willing to go to any extend to make your stay memorable. Even though they were short staffed post the pandemic they never let that affect the service.
Overall an really nice place to go and relax. Not for those who are looking for entertainment or allot of activities in and around the hotel.
Word of advice if you are travelling with the elderly, please book a room on the ground floor as the stairs can be a bit tricky for them. Since this is an old fort the staircases in certain parts are what they were originally and can be a little difficult for the older people.

The property is well connected from Delhi and is a pleasant 6 hours drive. Some stretches were under renovation at the time we traveled.
The property is grand and imposing and has a wonderful heritage feel about it. Very well maintained as well.
The rooms are gigantic with huge washrooms and a sitting area just outside. It was really cold when we visited and the two heaters in the room were life saving. Being on the top our room had adequate sunlight as well.
The evening we arrived, we booked a sundowner. This was essentially open gypsies modified for safari which took us over sand dunes and into the desert to a vantage point to view the sunset. This was a nice experience especially for my 12 year old son. We did get to see some deer, neel guy, different birds etc. Hot tea and fresh biscuits were served sitting in comfy camp chairs (some hot pakoras would have been nice!).
The breakfast and food in general was good (they charge for cappuccino during the inclusive breakfast - definitely not done!). The staff is friendly and helpful. They can be more professional.
The property has taken great care to create and maintain some amazing spaces within the hotel like a hawa mahal on the terrace with coloured glass, a WW II lounge, dungeons which double up as a conference or party area, weapons lounge (which has a pool table - needs replacement / repair).
The New Year evening was well organised with live DJ music in the dungeon, an open area at the rear which served up fresh pizzas from the clay oven, kababs from the barbeque and live pasta counter - all very nicely done.
The area around the Mahal is full of old havelis, most in disrepair or abandoned, but they add an amazing feel to the area.
One of the highlights of our visit was a drive onto roads into the wilderness where we chanced upon a small dhaba which served us a fresh and delicious home cooked vegetarian meal!

Stunning property, responsive staff & clean air were my 3 key takeaways. The desert safari into the Thar on a restored 1940s Land Rover was the highlight for me. All meals and bevies were consumed in the world war 2 lounge and staff maintained top hygiene levels! Defo going again!

We stayed for a night at Alsisar Mahal enroute Jaipur from Chandigarh via Hissar. The approach to the hotel from the State Highway is through a narrow road crisscrossing the village. The signage is not good and one has to depend on Google Maps. Once inside the hotel, one is impressed by the sheer magnificence of the property. This is a 17th century palace belonging to the Alsisar royal family who are also running the hotel. We had booked a Deluxe room but since we required an extra bed, we chose to upgrade to a Super Deluxe room which has an extra day bed. Our room was massive and had a huge sitting area. We also did check out the Deluxe rooms which are also fairly spacious. In the evening, we went for the sunset Jeep Safari of the semi-arid surroundings. It was a nice experience and we got an opportunity to learn more about the local flora and fauna. Tea was served on a sandy patch halfway through the Safari. On our return, we took a guided tour of the Palace. The property is in relatively good condition and has several spots to take beautiful photographs. Particularly impressive was the rooftop restaurant Badal Mahal and the adjoining terrace from where one can get a mesmerizing view of the surroundings. Interestingly, the palace has a dungeon themed Bar/ Club in the Basement and a world war themed lounge cum TV room! We had our dinner and breakfast in the open air courtyard adjoining the main dining room. The food was average but the setting was magical. The staff was quite courteous and try their best to please you. The primary clientale of this hotel has been groups of foreign tourists who spend the first couple of nights of their Rajasthan tour in this hotel However. now with these tourists not visiting India due to Covid, occupancy is low. We visited during a weekday and only 3 out of the 40+ rooms were occupied. I believe the occupancy is better during weekends. The place is also becoming popular for destination weddings and conferences. For a leisure traveller this is certainly a good choice to enjoy authentic royal treatment for a night or two.

This heritage hotel is sheer bliss and unbelievably picturesque and an authentic living in a palace experience, giving you so much to explore within the property.
A perfect place to get away from the hustle bustle and mundane city life whilst having all amenities to keep you connected with the modern world. The build up to and during our stay, the staff went above and beyond the call of duty on all counts. The chef prepared an array of delicious cuisine for all the meals including the exotic Rajasthani cuisines. It is truly humbling to be taken on an evening safari in an open-top jeep to the near by sand dunes and served with the high tea. Mr. Zaheer welcomed us into Alsisar Mahal with open arms and made every aspect of our stay special ensuring his staff were on hand around the clock.
The rooms were decorated in true Rajasthani style with antique furniture and art work, spacious enough for the children travelling with us to have playful time.
This trip shall certainly go deep down into my memory lanes and I will most certainly be back very soon.

A former royal residence, the palace, set in rural Alsisar, is spacious, impressive and recently renovated for the comfort of the guests. (The rooms have been tastefully decorated, the Dining room is impressive, and the ‘Badal Mahal’ Room (Palace in the Clouds) is truly breath-taking! The staff are helpful and polite, and the food tasty and generous. We were upgraded to a lovely room, but unfortunately we had arrived in the middle of a large Wedding celebration, and the extreme noise meant we had a very disturbed time on the first night. After discussion with the Manager a 50% discount was kindly arranged for that night’s stay, and the following night was much more peaceful!

4-5 hours drive from Delhi, this place is perfect for people who love to drive and would love to get away from their homes during this pandemic. The Mahal is beautiful with big rooms and the staff ensures safety for COVID. The Mahal is located in the middle of a village so you're away from the city noise.

The location is on the outskirts of a village, allowing you to glimpse the clear night sky loaded with a million stars. You'll have wonderful, fascinating memories of this ideal stay place. It's majestic while also being chill. The cuisine is both affordable and tasty. An great location for pre-wedding photos or even a large Indian wedding. I had a great time staying here. They give you the feeling of being at home.

We were at the property during autumn but the way we were looked after whilst there, would leave me to believe you and your family will have a memorable stay at the property, during the New Years celebrations. Some of our party dressed casually whilst others more formal as far as I am aware there is no dress code. Enjoy your celebrations in wonderful relaxing surroundings.
Hi! Since we drove from Delhi to Alsisar I don't know about the train route.
We walked around the village and discovered Indra Vilas a old haveli converted to hotel, it's a good option for meals.
We drove to Rani Sati Mandir in Jhunjhunu, visited the Shekhawati haveli in Nawalgarh and went to Mandwa village.
There are more places to choose from in the Alsisar area.
