Hotel Ranbanka, Jodhpur

If you are planning to travel to Rajasthan, Hotel Ranbanka in Jodhpur is one of the best heritage hotels in Rajasthan. In the city of Jodhpur, the gateway to the Thar Desert, the magic still lingers and the heritage and splendor of the Ranbanka Hotel beckons you.

The magnificent sandstone building built for Maharajadhiraj of Jodhpur, Sir Ajit Singhji, the younger brother of Maharaja Umaid Singh, tastefully blends the lavish interiors and modern comforts. Present day facilities are harmonized so as not to disturb the antiquity of the royal abode. Ranbanka Hotel exudes an aura distinctly its own - enhanced by its rich and varied collection of paintings, treasure troves and hunting trophies of yesteryears, all so well preserved by the royal family, which still uses a part of the building as its home.

Overlooking the seemingly invincible Mehrangarh Fort on one side and the gigantic Umaid Bhawan Palace on the other, Ranbanka Hotel holds the lingering echoes of a bygone era, like no other place.

The property is promoted by R.K. Karanvijay Singh (grandson of Maharajadhiraj Sir Ajit Singhji), a polo player who has participated in major national and international polo tournaments.
