About Neemrana Fort and Palace
One of the leading heritage hotels of Rajasthan and India, Neemrana Fort Palace has a prime location. The palace hotel is located on the Delhi - Jaipur Highway in the village of Neemrana in Alwar district As one leaves for Jaipur from Delhi, be sure to halt after you have traveled 122 kilometers. There on the right is a small lane leading up to one of the most beautiful 15th century monuments. It cuts into the hillside and is over 3 acres of land. Its proximity to the capital city Delhi makes it a perfect weekend holiday spot for the city weary people who let their hair down and refresh themselves in the local colors of the land.
Built by a king called Raj Dev, Neemrana stands on a small hillock. Three artistically inclined people went about renovating it and as a result a stay has the added benefit of being a lesson in Indian aesthetics and crafts. Neemrana Fort-Palace is India's oldest heritage resort. Sited on a majestic plateau, concealed in a horseshoe formation of the billion year-old Aravalli ranges, the property covers 25 acres/10 hectares. The stepped palaces of this architectural jewel are cut into the hillside to sprawl over 3 acres/1.2 hectares. The palaces rises to 10 levels commanding the most splendid views from its rampart gardens, its imposing arcaded ramps, its rooms and terraces - and even from its loos.
From 1986, the ruins of this Fort-Palace have been sensitively restored and reconstructed. The rooms are furnished with an eclectic mix of traditional Indian and colonial furniture, antiques, and objects d'art. Most rooms have private balconies or terraces.
