A 200-year-old palace in Rajasthan, rebuilt stone by stone at a new location, miles away from its original site, makes for an almost surreal experience. Another Palace hotel in Rajasthan sounds about as exciting as another rose in the Mughal Gardens. Fateh Bagh, a majestic 25,000 sq ft structure is located on the banks of the river. It is a 200-year-old palace transported piece by piece from its original site 50 km away, and meticulously recreated in all its original splendor. (The recreated Palace is now a luxury resort hotel and the latest acquisition of the prestigious HRH Group of Hotels). The total number of pieces in stone slabs, columns, pillars, pavilions, brackets, arches and wooden pieces, which needed to be transported / transplanted came to a staggering 65,000. The magnitude of the task is awe-inspiring, but was made possible with dedication, will, love and sheer obsession. Fateh Bagh has a history as rich as the State it is nestled in. For 200 years, it stood as "Rawla Koshilav" at Koshilav village, 50 km from its present site in Ranakpur, fell in love with it, decided to restore it to its original glory, but at a more approachable site and the rest as they say is what fables are made of. Today, it is almost impossible to imagine that there was barren land where this magnificent structure now stands. The imposing square shaped, light biscuit-colored palace with its majestic arches, intricately carved pillars and pavilions, beautiful domes and an exquisite fountain in the foreground seems right at home in this picturesque town and melts effortlessly into the landscape. The hotel itself offers every facility and experience Rajasthan's hotels are famous for. Its seven suites and 11 deluxe rooms are thematically designed, each a unique experience in itself. A sense of calm pervades the space, heightened by the emphasis on all things natural. A special Spiritual Cuisine menu offers food for the soul prepared from organic and nourishing ingredients. Please Note : Charges for the services used by the guests in the hotel apart from room and taxes will be collected from the guest directly. Airport pick can be arranged on extra cost upon request. Hotel also offers dry cleaning, lobby and reception.
