Luxury in the
hands of tradition is what Heritage Hotels are. Heritage Hotels
are architectural masterpieces that exemplify the intricate Rajasthani
architecture and have stood against the tide of time after witnessing
many upheavals. All of Rajasthan is dotted with these marvellous monuments,
each one an outstanding example of our rich architectural heritage.

class and elegance.

can be covered from the highway by a camel safari, with the locals welcoming
the guests with smiles and thrilling expressions. The inside of the fort reflects

formality.
