Live Like a Royal at Alila Fort Bishangarh

Alila Fort has a special curated experience, Live Like a Royal, to relish a blend of luxury & historical experience.

Heritage, Tradition and Luxury, all assembled in quintessential details at this restored fort in Jaipur, Alila Fort Bishangarh is a combination of innovative design in unique locations providing various experiences. Located at Bishangarh Village in the Jaipur District, Alila Fort was born out of a 230-year old warrior fort. Perched right on top of a granite hillock in the Aravalli range, surrounded by hills dotted with havelis, villages and temples, while still being easily accessible from the highway.

Despite of the fort turning in to a hotel, the features and essence of Jaipur Gharana, and Rajput & Mughal, has remained in its architecture. The rooms, spa, restaurants, everything resembles the exquisite craftmanship with original design elements. The local materials used to refurbish the fort like Jharokha style windows, stone jaali work, Tarkashi (the craft of brass wire designs inlaid in wood), hand block printed fabric, wall frescoes with thikri mirror work, echoes the style ethos it traditionally possessed.

The hotel provides Heritage Rooms, Royal Suites, Grand Suites, and Regal Suites, each with a distinct touch of luxury, elegance and panoramic views. The rooms are exemplified with unsurpassed noble splendor. They are spacious with strokes of colour representing the region’s rich native artisanship.

Gastronomic options are excitingly varied, in term of cuisines, flavours & interiors. Turrets, cellars and secret passages have been turned into bars, lounges and creative spaces for dining and meetings. The royal living quarters are now the indoor specialty restaurant Amarsar, an all-day dining venue. Nazaara, an outdoor grill dining terrace dishes out Rajput and frontier cuisine which involves sand-pit cooking and smoked meats. Madhuveni is where you find the cigar/cognac turret promoting a natural system of air-conditioning. Finally, the Kachhawa Lounge serves champagne, cakes, and also where the secret royal escape route was found. A grand banquet hall, conference room and show kitchen/event dining space round off the banqueting experience. You can opt for a unique dining experience under the stars at the spa garden, havelli, terrace, deck or poolside overlooking the magnificent mountain views.

The Spa Alila aims to revitalize & enlivened the body by offering not only personalized indulging and rejuvenating treatments, but yoga classes and self-care recommendations. Down the hill is the Haveli, offering a myriad of spaces to unwind, including a pool, bar, fitness centre, luxurious banquet lawns, and Play Alila – Kids’ Club – with separate areas for teenagers and toddlers. An organic garden, a fruit orchard and a greenhouse set up amidst the ravines as well as various green lounging areas to explore.

Alila Fort has various offers to enhance your royalty experience. The offer, ‘Live like a Royal’, gives you an option to stay for two nights & more to enjoy the uniquely majestic setting and immerse with food, drinks, spa, Jaipur airport transfers & other full of fun holiday experience.

Not only this, the fort has numerous experiences curated for each one, whether a terrain adventure or an air. You can discover the places around in a helicopter or hot-air balloon ride, embark on a special spiritual journey, relive the royal days of the Shekhawati dynasty, horse-riding like warriors of old on a fascinating trail to explore along the river bed and the old shelter of Bishangarh, or even ride a tractor. There is a library, too, situated by the courtyard stocked with a vast collection of historical books, English and Hindi movies. Alila Fort Bishangarh is not only a royal delight, but is also committed to respecting and preserving local traditions.
