Castle
Mandawa, a fortress, now converted
into a luxurious heritage hotel.
Like many historic homes, Castle
Mandawa is a curious mixture of the
old and the new. Medieval turreted
towers, palanquin-roofed balconies,
blend with modern comforts in
old-world rooms. Family portraits,
antique cannons and arms add to the
charm of this family-run resort where
tradition still runs strong. Even time
is measured by a different clock... a
huge brass gong struck by the resident
timekeepers at the fort every hour
Explore Castle Mandawa at your own
pace. Spend a leisurely hour over a
drink in the colonial verandah that
accommodates the bar, or relax in the
cosy comfort of the Diwankhana, the
formal drawing room decorated with
family portraits and an array of
antique armour.

Rooms
The large
and airy rooms of the Castle have been converted
into charming, well appointed accommodation,
retaining the old flavour using period furniture
and local furnishings. No two rooms are alike
(there are 70 of them -- Royal Suites, Luxury
Suites, Deluxe Rooms, Standard Rooms) and yet
each of them display the grandeur and the taste
of the rulers of the past. A rare blend of
modern comfort in medieval surroundings!
Part of the excitement of staying at Mandawa is
a sense of discovery at every turn. Battlements
that offer spectacular views of the town below,
a whimsical peacock weathervane, an arched
window that overlooks the verdant garden visited
by peacocks. In the zenana or women's
quarters, one room offers antique murals,
another has a marble fountain, while the turret
room boasts of walls that are 7 feet thick!
Looking out from the windows of the turret room
it is easy to imagine the marauding bandits that
once roamed freely here
