Constructed during a vibrant era in Rajasthan’s history, the estate served as a royal home and remained a private residence for 16 generations, preserving the traditions and lifestyle of the Barli family and Rajput nobility.
In the early 2000s, the late Rani Sahiba Sushila Kumari Ji, motivated by deep respect for her heritage, undertook a careful restoration with her grandson-in-law, Anirudh. Their work focused on preserving original architectural elements such as intricate wood carvings, frescoes, and courtyards while introducing modern comforts. Situated in Jaipur, a UNESCO World Heritage City, Dileep Kothi offers guests an immersive journey into the grandeur and history of the Barli lineage.

Each of the 10 suites features distinctive decor with vibrant textiles, traditional paintings, and period furniture that reflects the property’s rich heritage. Soaring ceilings and gracefully arched doorways allow natural light to flood the interiors. The courtyard, lush with greenery and decorated with elegant hanging lights, offers a peaceful retreat that captures the timeless elegance and meticulous restoration at the heart of Dileep Kothi.
