Alila Fort

Built over 200 years ago, Alila Fort was originally used as both a defensive fortress and as a home for some of Rajasthan's royalty. The original structure of the fort, such as the arched windows, turrets and the dungeons have remained the same, giving guests a feeling of stepping back into India's past, to the time of the Maharajas. However, the hotel also contains all of the modern amenities to ensure that travellers have a comfortable stay. This hotel is located in the village of Bishangarh and is easily accessible from both Delhi and Jaipur, being approximately one hour from Jaipur's airport. Children are welcome.
