Standing in the shadow of the Mehrangarh Fort, RAAS is at once steeped in history and contemporary luxury. The hotel comprises four historical buildings dating from the late 18th to the mid-19th century, and three modern buildings which house the guest rooms. All are built using the local red sandstone, blending in with their surroundings.
Situated in the heart of the walled city, the hotel encourages you to arrive on foot or by its own rickshaw to minimize impact on the local neighborhood, allowing you to navigate the maze of streets before entering the calming atmosphere of the property. Interiors have been handmade by local craftsmen for a truly authentic feel, and each room has its own terrace with wonderful views of the fort, gardens or restored buildings.
OUR OPINION:
RAAS is the only boutique hotel to be based in the old city, and the views directly up to the fort, which stands proudly above you, are quite spectacular. It offers a fantastic mixture of traditional character and contemporary luxury.
