All the rooms are decorated an understated modern black and white design in boutique style, with traditional elements (latticed chandeliers) and hand-crafted Jodhpur red sandstone jhali (windows). The standard rooms either have Moghul-style gardens or dazzling views of the 15th-century Mehrangarh desert fort. The seven suites feature a separate sitting room and large balconies and can be shared by large group or families. 

In a central courtyard is the RAAS Haveli are two restaurants and an expansive swimming pool. All-day Bandari serves an international menu in the cool indoor dining room that spills out to the poolside terrace. The rooftop Dari Khana, serves authentic Rajasthani fare. There is also a small Ila Spa, which offers a wide range of massages and treatments. The resort has a fleet of customised blue auto-rickshaws to ferry guests around town.

Location RAAS Haveli is a stunning boutique hotel, located in Jodhpur’s old walled city, with impressive views of the Mehrangarh Fort. RAAS is an 18th-century haveli or mansion, richly restored fusing pink Jodhpur sandstone with modern blue to create a contemporary design with traditional palace architecture.


Getting There A number of domestic airlines connect most cities including more remote regions. Jodpur has daily flights to and from Mumbai, Delhi, Jaipur and Udaipur. The airport is a 20-minute drive from RAAS.


When to go Rajasthan, the desert state of India is largely hot but unlike the rest of India, has a much longer tourist season. Summer in Rajasthan extends from April to June and is the hottest season. Monsoon arrives in July and extends until September, is a good time to travel to Rajasthan, since it never rains there. Post monsoon, October to November and right through winter months of December to March are perfect for travelling through Rajasthan.
