The property comprises deluxe to super-deluxe types of suites, plus the guests can also stay in its comfortable Swiss tented rooms for a faux camping feeling. Thankfully this heritage hotel is centrally located in this city; the railway station, Ghanta Ghar (Clock Tower), and Umaid Bhawan Palace Museum is within the walking distance.

6. Krishna Prakash Heritage Haveli (from USD 26)

Down the slopes of the Mehrangarh Fort, this is a 100-year-old authentic heritage haveli. The architecture style here is Rajputana and this mansion imitates a Hindu temple. Krishna Prakash palace is sober and seems genuinely pure–just as a heritage building should look. The walls are loaded with portraits, murals, and fine carving, while the sandstone work is visible everywhere. The culture of Rajputana used to be reserved since centuries–thus you would often notice closed swimming areas in authentic havelis. Krishna Prakash palace also has a shaded rocky plunge pool inside which stays cools even in the blazing summers. This hotel has a restaurant that specializes in Marvari dishes, but barbecue and international cuisines are also available.

Traveler's tips

Riding the horses at BalSamand

We were in Jodhpur for two days and for our second day we booked a stay at Bal Samand and just spent the entire day enjoying the property. Our rooms were in the former stables, and they have a nice patio out front and a private terrace space in the back. The rooms are big as are the bathrooms. Peacocks roam freely in the palace gardens, and there is a large stable where the king still keeps his horses. 

Guests are allowed to visit the space and ride on the horses. My kids absolutely loved it there and were with the horses for a couple of hours. Later in the evening, we sat beside the palace lake and watched the sun go down. If you are traveling with family, I cannot recommend this place enough.

10. Heritage Kuchaman Haveli (from USD 60)

We feel that everyone should get a chance in their lifetime to stay in some heritage houses, once at least. Therefore we have included this super economical heritage hotel, the Kuchaman Haveli to our royal list. This 19th-century, ornately decorated mansion comprises 21 rooms with and without air conditioning, and the initial tariff is fixed to meet even the tightest of budgets. The exterior and especially the large corridor of this palace-hotel is picture perfect. The suits, however, lack the essence of heritage structures, but complaining about it will be unfair as the tariff is affordable. It is situated at a better location of this city–the iconic Ghanta Ghar (clock tower) which is also referred to as the ‘city center’, is only two minutes’ walk from its gates. Plus the terrace of this haveli always gives gorgeous views of the old city.
