If you come to Rajasthan than Visit Fort Neemrana Palace......
What was first spotted in 1977 as a vast and splendid ruin, has since become
synonymous in India as a foremost example of architectural restoration-for-reuse.

The Neemrana 'non-hotel' Hotel brand of hospitality hinges on the
real – not necessarily on the ever-escalating standards of more. A very perceptive comment,
soon after it opened, made them conscious of our approach. Queen Elizabeth's niece,
Princess Sarah Armstrong-Jones, on her honeymoon at
Neemrana Fort-Palace, wrote in our visitors' book: 'Simplicity
and style are so difficult to achieve together. Neemrana is t
he most beautiful place we've stayed anywhere in the world.'
The 'most beautiful' may have had a lot to do with the honeymoon,
but to extract such a wholesome compliment from what had been a complete ruin;
inhabited by bats and civet cats, only six years earlier, says
a lot in favour of the restoration and re-use of ruined historical sites.

Neemrana has not so much raised the bar of Indian hospitality,
but it has worked concertedly towards creating another niche
whereby the experiencing of history and its architectural treasures
has now become a part of the Indian tourism repertoire.
That too from ruins – turning India's waste into its assets.
It is for this ‘experiential authenticity' that the Neemrana ‘
non-hotel' Hotels have now come to be known for.
Two unconnected comments, one from Europe and the other from Asia testify to this,
on their own steam:

We don’t let history become a bygone!
The 15th century Neemrana Fort-Palace holds innovative,
open-air conferences in winter, overlooking the open, unending countryside
– till eternity. Or in a variety of interiors. With 6 acres of palaces tiered
over 12 levels, there is more history and many more terrace views than can be
digested in just one visit.

Hi Anurag! Thanks for sharing about Fort Neemrana palace. I will travel to Rajasthan next week. Your blog helped me to decide the best place to plan my sojourn. I hope my Rajasthan tourism will be well organised now!
