THE HISTORY

of

Rawla Narlai

Located equidistant between the erstwhile princely states of Jodhpur and Udaipur, this meticulously restored 17th century royal retreat is one of Rajasthan’s most treasured heritage hotels. Established as an exclusive boutique resort in 1996, there are 32 rooms set around a series of courtyards bright with flowers. The alliance of marble and stone formed the pillar of the heritage architecture, while local artisans handled the limestone and kiln-bricks to construct a contemporary edifice. Local textiles and fabrics remain ubiquitous in the décor, with portraits of the former royal family of Jodhpur, and other erstwhile princely states of India appearing throughout the resort.
