Merging contemporary and traditional, Raas Jodhpur has created a unique offering making it one of the stand out hotels in Jodhpur
Location: Raas Jodhpur sits within the walls of Jodhpur’s historic city, directly beneath the towering Mehrangarh Fort. The setting is remarkable, offering views of the fort from almost every room and a front-row seat to the rhythm of Rajasthan’s famous Blue City. Its position makes it ideal for exploring on foot or by rickshaw – guests can wander to the Clock Tower market, the Stepwell, or the colourful Sarafa Bazaar within minutes. The hotel is around a mile from the railway station and a short drive from Jodhpur airport, making it easily accessible.
Rooms: The hotel features 40 rooms and suites designed with Raas’s distinctive fusion of contemporary and traditional architecture. Many rooms are framed by intricately carved sandstone panels, blending 18th-century haveli craftsmanship with sleek modern design. Interiors are bright and understated, with polished black terrazzo floors, flashes of Jodhpur blue, and handcrafted furniture. Each room includes air-conditioning, WiFi, flat-screen TVs and spacious en-suite bathrooms, while most enjoy sweeping views of Mehrangarh Fort from private balconies or terraces.
Amenities: Centred around a serene courtyard, Raas Jodhpur balances heritage and modern comfort. Facilities include a heated outdoor swimming pool, a holistic spa in partnership with Ma Earth, and a boutique by Gem Palace. Dining is a highlight, with five different options ranging from relaxed poolside meals to refined terrace dining overlooking the illuminated fort. Menus combine contemporary western dishes with authentic Rajasthani cuisine, and private dining experiences can be arranged on request.
Activities: Raas Jodhpur offers guests direct access to the city’s culture and crafts. Explore the winding lanes of the Blue City, visit the nearby Stepwell Café, or spend time in the lively Clock Tower market. The hotel can also arrange excursions to Osian for camel safaris and temple visits, guided heritage walks, or adventures such as Flying Fox zip-lining at Mehrangarh Fort. Visits to the Bishnoi villages and Rao Jodha Desert Park are popular day trips, while cookery classes and local shopping tours offer a more immersive glimpse into Jodhpur’s daily life.
Sustainability: Raas Jodhpur has been carefully restored around an original 18th-century haveli, preserving Jodhpur’s distinctive red sandstone architecture while integrating environmentally conscious design. The property supports local artisans through the use of traditional materials and crafts, employs energy-efficient systems, and promotes natural wellness through its spa and cuisine partnerships.

Much like June, July offers incredible views across Ladakh whilst elsewhere monsoon season rains are imminent.
August
August is the perfect time to cruise along the Ganges thanks to the monsoon and its increased water levels.
