Overview

Nestled close to the Mehrangarh Fort, Rani Mahal offers a stay fit for royalty. It was built 450 years ago by Maharaja Ajit Singh to house the Marwari queens. The property still embraces its roots through the meticulously preserved original features, customs, and traditions.

From the moment you step in, you'll feel pampered by traditional hospitality. Ladies dressed in neatly draped sarees will welcome you with a "tilak" or a sacred mark on the forehead. You'll also fall in love with the gorgeous interiors featuring period furniture and other historic details. The palace boasts a harmonious blend of Rajput architecture and top-notch modern amenities to ensure guests' comfort.

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.
