Tucked away along one of the narrow streets within the old town of Jodhpur, India, the RAAS is hip Maharaja living at its best. A skillful combination of old world Rajput buildings with a new designer bolt-on with huge carved sandstone jali screens makes the RAAS Jodhpur a hot ticket.
As you enter from the street through the magnificent old wooden gates, you know you’ve arrived somewhere special. And it becomes even more spectacular once you walk through the fish tank glass reception out into the bright sunlight beyond, with the most incredible view up towards Mehrangarh Fort. So good that to quote Tatler Magazine, always reliable on matters of taste: ‘This is the most spectacular view from any hotel in India, maybe actually the world.’
The Couples Connect ILA spa treatment amongst the soothing red sandstone pillars is the most sensual experience a deux we know of in India. If you want to intertwine in the early evenings, don’t hesitate to get your booking in.
RAAS Jodhpur is literally in the middle of the old town. The ancient step well is just a few meters from the gates. Venture a little further, and you’ll stumble across antique shops and handicraft boutiques which will please the eye but probably not your wallet.
