Luxury-experience-in-Jodhpur

Rajasthan is one of the most loved tourist destinations in India. Tourists from all over the globe flock to various cities in Rajasthan to witness the royal towns and scenic forts. One of these beautiful places that I visited is Jodhpur, and I made some memories that I would love to share with everyone.

The highlight of my trip was Hotel Raas Jodhpur and let me tell you everything about it.

luxury-boutique-hotels-in-Rajasthan

Hotel Raas is the first & best boutique hotel in Jodhpur. The best part about the hotel is its blend and aura, which lets you witness and experience both sides of the city. The first thing every tourist wishes to explore is the royal city and its historic architecture. What is better than experiencing traditional architecture along with a contemporary theme? This is what Raas offers - an experience rather than just a stay.

The Mehrangarh Fort

You cannot come to Jodhpur and ignore the forts. The forts represent the cultural heritage and the beauty of the town. Raas's property was selected from that same outlook as the whole area is overlooked by one of the most famous forts in India - The Mehrangarh fort. The fort rules the city's skyline, and I am sure that you will also be spending more like a day enjoying the view from the fort and the hotel.

Location

The location of any hotel is a significant factor for tourists, which was probably in creators' minds. Raas Hotel is located centrally in the city of Jodhpur with easy transportation access to everywhere. You can choose to rise in a taxi or witness the local touch by picking a Tuk Tuk to reach every place in the city. 

 

Alongside the Hotel Jodhpur property, you can enjoy stepwell Square, a regeneration project built around the cultural Toorji Ka Jhalra, a step well built in the 18th Century. It is close to a lot of other boutiques and the local market as well. Raas Hotel makes sure you enjoy luxury while enjoying the culture and heritage of the city.

Style, Architecture and the Aura

The creators of this piece of art are Nikhilendra and Dhananajaya Singh. The idea behind the property is as unique and aesthetic as the hotel. The property was an 18th century Haveli with cultural Rajasthani architecture. The creators have joined various areas of the Haveli to build a luxurious structural property. 

 

The magical feeling begins at night which is sure to be the best part of your trip. The experience reminded me of my days in Greece when I enjoyed the view of Acropolis from rooftop restaurants with hundreds of others. Just like Greece, Jodhpur is a whole different city at night. The fort is about 400 feet above ground from the hotel, and you get a magnificent view at night. You will have to get the perfect spot at the rooftop restaurant to enjoy dinner with the view.

Services

To solve all your worries about the services that you will get with the room reservation, here is the list of all the major ones:

● Heated pool, which is one of the centerpieces of the hotel

● Parking Facilities

● WiFi

● A rooftop restaurant which is the landmark of the city

● A soothing Spa

● All essential services, including Laundry, room services, etc.

Description of the rooms

Raas Hotel consists of 39 rooms and suites, all with 5-star amenities, including:

All the rooms enjoy a magnificent view of the fort and contemporary architecture. You are bound to enjoy the hotel's luxury along with the traditionally designed walls, which will remind you of being in Jodhpur! 

 

Every piece of furniture and the design of the property is handcrafted. Experienced artisans have designed hand-cut stone to create the Garden walls. The table on the property is made from Sheesham wood used in traditional times to design furniture for royalty.

Food and the Restaurants

Raas hotel consists of two fine-dining restaurants called - 

● All-day Baradari

● Rooftop Darikhana

 

You can practically find every cuisine in the restaurants. The breakfast is hosted in the All-day Baradari, which will serve you almost everything that you like, including Italian, Thai, Chinese, Indian, continental, and others. 

 

Your best time to enjoy will be the evenings at the Rooftop Darikhana, where you can enjoy drinks and Indian food with a traditional touch.

Raas Hotels also own two other beautiful Hotels in Rajasthan. I also got the chance to visit these beautiful properties and review them.

Raas Devigarh

Raas Devi Garh is a luxurious and glamorous retreat for tourists looking to witness the Rajasthani tradition along with luxury. The location is approximately an hour's drive from Udaipur.

Raas Chhatra Sagar has been recently designed and now represents another level of luxury. It helps you witness another version of Rajasthan and art, which is bound to be beyond your imagination. The combination of the landscape, the atmosphere, and the tent houses make it the perfect getaway location.

Rass Chhatra Sagar is set precisely between the two main cities of Rajasthan tourism, i.e., Jaipur and Udaipur. The location is set precisely amid flora and fauna; you get to experience nature closely.

Activities

Your trip is not complete without visiting the local areas and experiencing the atmosphere of the city. To feed your travel experience, a trip to experience local farming is organized every day. Evenings are filled with adventure as you get to discover the natural surroundings and the lake.

Conclusion

Raas Hotels has carefully selected the three properties which are situated in the best places for a hotel. You can enjoy another form of luxury while availing yourself of all services and enjoying the traditional touch at the same time. My personal favorite was the Raas Jodhpur, mainly because of the evening views of the Mahendragarh Fort while sipping cocktails made.
