Rooms
The hotel is home to eight spacious rooms, each individually styled with antique furniture and traditional Rajasthani decor, some with traditional stained-glass windows. Due to the nature of the building, all rooms vary in shape and size, with some opening onto the courtyard and others tucked away with sit-outs overlooking the lawns. Whilst maintaining the sense of being in a historic fort, the rooms also have modern facilities such as fans and air conditioning, minibars and tea and coffee.
