Hotels in Rajasthan
Rajasthan
has been the land of the maharajas and their nobles. The legends that
surround these dashing inhabitants have now passed into history - the
mythical world of blood and blade, of battles won and of their undaunted
spirit. But it was not just the battlefield that brought out the best in
these brave warriors they gave equal attention to their residence. While the
prices built the stately palaces and forts in their states - their nobles
were not far behind in building suitably impressive havelies which were in
keeping with their status. All of Rjasthan is dotted with these marvelous
monuments, each one an outstanding example of our rich architectural
heritage. Most of the palaces here are still being used by the erstwhile
royal families: a few have sections converted into museums and hotels thus
allowing the tourist a glimpse into the lavish opulence which was part of
the regal lifestyle.
The havilies not big enough to be rated as
palaces, and too elaborate to be called ordinary places of residence,
outnumbered the palaces and forts and these have remained with nobles as
their family homes. Almost every little village has a haveli , the size and
workmanship varying according to the status of the owner. With the movement
of the owners to bigger cities, quite a few of these havelies started
withering with age - the massive courtyards, the zenana mahals with murals,
the carved balconies, the mardana baithak where the nobles sat with
visitors, period furniture and traditional décor - it was a world
with its own charm and magic. With growing tourism industry and the constant
demand for something different and new for the tourist, the Heritage Hotel
concept came on the scene. The tourist, who looked for something other than
the usual star catrgory hotel, was delighted with the haveli. Within a
couple of years, not only the number of Heritage Hotels has risen
substantially but also these are booked well in advance invariable.
In
a class of themselves, these heritage hotels extend their own unique
services to the tourist. Dressed almost always in traditional turbans and
dhotis, the old family retainers cater to the same kind of care and
hospitality to the tourists as they do to their personal guests.
