Tucked away from hectic Indian street life, on a substantial tract of land shaded by a canopy of seasoned trees, sits the Ratan Vilas Jodhpur. Weaving through the pillars of this erstwhile family mansion and spilling onto the neatly manicured lawns and secluded courtyards are stories of Rajput nobility and tales of the bygone era. Located in the pulsating heart of town, the Ratan Vilas Jodhpur is a mere 10 minutes away from the Sadar Market and its chaotic traditional Indian Bazaar charm. A 20-minute drive away from the hotel rests the formidable Mehrangarh Fort that towers over the Blue City. This highly personalized and generously spread-out heritage hotel has just 21 immaculate rooms, some with marble tubs, and yet some more with an idyllic veranda. You may sample Indian delicacies under the stars out on the terrace or in the restaurant and pick out trinkets and curios at the little boutique. The pool completes our little oasis of tranquility- many a late afternoon can be spent by the sparkling blue waters on sun loungers. The family is still in residence. Allow them to regale you with stories of their history, legacy, and future dreams- visitors to the Jodhpur heritage hotel aren’t just visitors, they’re guests of the family. Come and experience India’s regal past and stay awhile in a chamber fit for nobility at one of the best heritage hotels Jodhpur has to offer.
