Royal Heritage Hotel & Resort
A haveli, not a hotel that looks like one.
Twenty-two rooms inside a merchant’s house built in 1874 and left empty for sixty years. We took the render off, found the lime underneath, and put back what the family had removed. The stepwell was dredged in 2018. It holds water again. Every room looks onto the courtyard, no two are the same shape, and the kitchen you can see into cooks what Padma Rathore’s grandmother cooked.
