History

Marwar ruler Maharaja Ajit Singh built Rani Mahal in the 17th century. Back then, the haveli was meant to house the Marwari queens and be a private royal residence. Around 450 years have passed since then, with the haveli-turned-hotel now accommodating guests from all over the world.

The hotel still looks just as regal as before, despite being modified to accommodate modern needs. It proudly boasts Rajput architecture and follows traditions and customs from the past to preserve its rich heritage.


Design and Architecture

Dating back to the time of the Marwar rule in Jodhpur, Rani Mahal boasts a sandstone facade and breathtaking Rajput-style architecture. The painstakingly carved pillars and colorful wall frescoes tell stories of the royal past of the city. You'll also find period furniture and other details here. The spacious courtyards, terraces, and quintessential jharokhas add to the Rajasthani haveli vibe.

Each room at the property has a unique character, showcasing details from the past like portraits, ornate mirrors, and more.
