The simple village of Bujera has a luxury accent in one corner. It goes by the name of Bujera Fort. The evocative creation of outstanding interior designer Richard Hanlon and Trish McFarlane, where style meets sophistication in every aspect. Though newly built, the boutique hotel is rooted in Rajasthani aesthetics and feels historical, only to be delightfully fitted with all modern amenities for a comfortable holiday. It’s a reinvention that takes you to another world.

The luxury rooms, though studded with elevated designs, have comfort at the core. Four poster beds, spacious rooms, writing desks and a view to match, they are perfect to reboot. There is also a 3-room villa, which is ideal for a family or group to book, and have your own intimate space.

As one of the best places to stay in Udaipur, Bujera Fort gives you the chance to explore Rajasthan’s charms in luxury. The unobtrusive service and staff make you feel comfortable and extremely cared for with complete privacy. Weary with sightseeing? The swimming pool area (designed like a stepwell), is where guests come to shed the travel fatigue, along with the in-house spa. Flower-lined gardens for strolls and little nooks and corners are ideal for reading. Winters are particularly charming with a cosy fireplace. With a library, games table and ample to do on the property, the temptation is often to stay at the hotel and not go sightseeing at all. Amongst the testimonials from guests, ‘feeling at home’, is a recurring one. The awarded hotel is also explicitly LGBT friendly. The boutique hotel also has an enduring Green Policy that includes solar powered hot water, water harvesting, salvaged doors, insulation of roofs with terracotta pots.

Bujera Fort is also great to explore offbeat locations in Udaipur as it is 30 minutes from the main tourist hub itself. Yet, you can reach the popular spots of Udaipur in a matter of hours. It’s best for those who want to have an offbeat trip in Rajasthan.
