Located almost midway between Delhi and Jaipur, Neemrana
dates back to 1464 A.D., when it was built as a fortified
palace. It was inhabited almost continuously until independence
in 1947, when royal privileges were first curtailed and then
abolished. Maharaja Rajendra Singh then moved out, the people
of the Neemrana village moved in, and the palace was slowly
ransacked over the next 30 years. Finally Aman Nath and Francis
Wacziarg rediscovered it in the late 1970's and took on the
task of maintaining it and turning it into an exclusive heritage
hotel.
Neemrana fort palace is one of the oldest and finest amongst
India's Heritage Hotels. Each room is decorated in individual
style with period furniture, private open terraces and courtyards.
One of the nicest aspects of Neemrana is its dining. The cuisine
is Rajasthani Indian and Continental, mainly French and every
meal is different. The hotel now also offers a swimming pool
and Ayurvedic massage centre.
