Overview

Dera Rawatsar is an exquisite property named after its founders, who belonged to the Rawatsar Clan of Rajasthan. This clan was part of the bigger Kandhalot clan of the Rathore Dynasty and mainly comprised of warriors and landowners. The hotel has been run by the Rawatsar family for generations, providing them with extensive experience in unmatched hospitality.

Dera Rawatsar was built in the mid-twentieth century, just a few years after India gained independence from British rule. The owners continue to uphold Indian traditions in their decor, services, and amenities. Staying true to its roots, the hotel has modern conveniences like a spa and wellness center. It's also located in central Jaipur, with easy access to the city's age-old attractions.

History

Dera Rawatsar dates back to 1950, when India was immersed in the heady joy of independence from British rule. It opened as a heritage boutique hotel in 2004, and the most recent renovation was in 2015.

The founders and owners of Dera Rawatsar, the House of Rawatsar, take pride in preserving this beautiful property for generations. The family descends from the Kandhlot Rathore clan of Rajputs, known for their valor. Their ancestor, Rao Kandhal, was a famed warrior and statesman, with numerous accomplishments including helping found the kingdoms of Bikaner and Marwar.

The current generation of the Rawatsar Clan continues to run the property and uphold Rajasthani traditions through locally produced textiles and painstakingly collected antiques that adorn the rooms and public spaces.

Design and Architecture

Dera Rawatsar proudly showcases a blend of the grand Rajputana and Mughal architectural styles. You can find excellent woodwork in its antique furniture, intricate "jali" or lattice screens in the railings and partitions, and arched doorways giving out a royal vibe. The colorful upholstery and textiles also offer a glimpse into the vibrant Rajasthani culture. One of the highlights of the property are the portraits of the Rawatsar family hung here and there, bringing you closer to the property's roots.
