One of the joys of traveling in India is to indulge a little and spend a night or two in one of the country’s Heritage Hotels.  These are historic accomodations, often nicely refurbished, each unique in some way.<\/p>\n

Rawla Jojawar was once a small fort whose construction dates to the 18th century.  Rawla means ‘abode of the local chieftan’;  Jojawar is the name of the town in which it’s located.  This fort was converted into a Heritage Hotel and is run by the family of the Chieftan who lived here in the late 1700s.  The hotel opened in 2001. <\/p>\n

The Rawla is quite lovely, and a calm and relaxing place to stay.  The grounds are beautifully and carefully landscaped, and the Rajasthani cuisine served in the dining room was terrific. <\/p>\n

The hotel has 35 rooms, each of unique design.   All rooms are air-conditioned and have modern conveniences.  My room at the Rawla was memorable enough to document in some of the photographs you see below.<\/p>\n

There are lots of things you can do in Jojawar, including a camel or jeep safari, or going for a ride in one of the hotel’s classic antique cars.  The small village of Jojawar in which the fort was situated has prospered and grown into a charming scenic town, delightful for a stroll, which we’ll discuss in a future blog post.<\/p>\n

Lastly, a few photos of a lovely old car sitting near the hotel’s entry.  I love coming across old cars like this!  The hotel owns several old cars and we went for a ride through the countryside in one.<\/p>\n
