Looking for a luxury heritage hotel in Jodhpur? As the oldest heritage hotel of the city (and some claim, India), Ajit Bhawan should definitely be in your list of consideration. Luxury, heritage draw and comfort of being located smack dab in the middle of the city are reasons to stay here.
It used to be the home of Jodhpur’s erstwhile Maharaja’s younger brother. The palace plus residence of the royalty becomes your home during your stay, giving you access to the entire area. From grand rooms, a vintage car gallery, spa and extensive restaurant, Ajit Bhawan is made to pamper you silly.
There are six categories of rooms – Deluxe, Luxury Tent, Vintage Suite, Ajit Suite, Presidential Suite and Luxury Room. There are luxury tents also available - just as comfortable as the rooms. Each room is distinct in character and décor, is fitted with modern amenities. Ancient artefacts, portraits, art, curios and furniture dot the entire luxury hotel, ensuring that the abiding sense of feeling royal doesn’t leave you for a second. The Ajit Spa, swimming pool and vintage car gallery are fascinating additions to keep you hooked to the property.
It’s J-Bar and the vintage cars that steal the show at Ajit Bhawan. The bar is rooted in history with dramatic artefacts. The fleet of vintage cars are the ones that get travellers hooked to their stories. And a walk through the well-kept garage is rife with sighs of appreciation.
Stay at Ajit Bhawan for an indulgent stay from the rooms, to the dining experience and a slice of history. You can use this as a base to explore the highlights of Jodhpur, especially Rao Jodha Park, Mehrangarh fort, Jaswant Thada and the rest of the blue city that stands in the shadow of the massive fort.
