RAAS Jodhpur

★★★★★

RAAS Jodhpur sits inside the old walled city, just beneath Mehrangarh Fort. The location is rare. Few luxury hotels in Jodhpur place guests this close to the fort's sandstone ramparts. Blue-washed houses line the narrow streets outside its gates. The hotel itself is a study in restraint. Contemporary architecture sits beside restored heritage havelis on the same property. Locally quarried stone and clean lines replace the ornate excess found elsewhere. The result feels calm rather than crowded. RAAS Jodhpur offers air-conditioned rooms and suites across the property. Many have a fireplace, a minibar, and a separate sitting area. Bathrooms come stocked with bathrobes, slippers, and toiletries. Guests can choose between two restaurants and two bars or lounges for dining and drinks. A rooftop terrace looks out over the Blue City and the fort above it. There is also a full-service spa, a steam room, and an outdoor pool. Free WiFi, valet parking, and a daily breakfast buffet round out the offering. For travellers who want Jodhpur's fort-and-old-city view without the noise of the market lanes, RAAS Jodhpur is the address to know.
