Jodhpur Hotels & Lodging

Mihir Garh means Sun fortress. It is a 50-minute drive to the south of Jodhpur and is situated on the edge of the Thar Desert. A gorgeous, 9-suite fantasy fort in the Thar Desert with private plunge pools, Royal Picnics, and Marwar horse-riding. Mihir Garh is an exclusive nine suite boutique hotel where each room offers you more than 1700 sq. of pure luxury. The private terraces, courtyards, plunge pools, and Jacuzzi seems to whisper a single word: Indulge. Here, serenity and splendor come together to create an experience for all the guests. While exotic drinks from your mini-bar become the manna for a sultry summer afternoon, the fireplace morphs into an intimate friend for wintry nights. You can pamper yourself with the variety of treatments available at Mihir Garh's spa or rejuvenate at the poolside while watching the endless desert meditate on the horizon. The delectable cuisines aim to please - from traditional to continental - to suit your palate.

RAAS is Jodhpur?s first boutique hotel with a signature look born from a fusion of modern and ancient styles. The courtyard is a tranquil haven within the hustle and bustle of Jodhpur?s old town. The hotel comprises four original buildings with three additional contemporary structures with a stunning entrance flanked by a magnificent pool. Inspired by the Walled City, the new buildings feature a modern approach using space and light, yet each is grounded in tradition. Intricate architectural carvings adorn the structure in the iconic style of 18th-century Havelis. Jodhpur?s red sandstone unites the old and the new with the contemporary designs adding an exciting and fresh dimension to the region?s ancient carving industry.

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. 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.

Built between 1928 and 1943, Umaid Bhawan Palace is a magnificent piece of Rajasthan?s heritage and a symbol of the new Jodhpur. Home of the erstwhile Jodhpur royal family and currently the world?s sixth-largest private residence, the palace has one thing in common with the iconic Taj Mahal at Agra?the palm court marble used in its construction. Perched on Chittar Hill, the highest point in Jodhpur, Umaid Bhawan Palace inspires with exotic views of the historical Blue City, vast dunes, and intimidating Mehrangarh Fort.
