HOTEL DESCRIPTION: Jodhpur, the erstwhile capital of the kingdom of Marwar, Rajasthan’s largest princely state, a city awash in hues of blue, dominated by the large, imposing and wonderfully preserved Meherangarh Fort that towers over the alternately sleepy and bustling city with its winding roads and teeming markets, is a popular destination for good reason. A mere 5 kilometres north of the city limits of Jodhpur, on the Mandore Road, is the WelcomHeritage Balsamand Lake Palace, overlooking the still and clear WelcomHeritage Balsamand Lake. Built in red sandstone employing the typical ornate Rajput architectural style, it was initially conceived as the summer residence of the Jodhpur Maharajas. enlarge View: 1 The lake itself, artificially created in the 13th century as a water reservoir that supplied drinking water to the city - now complements the lush green lawns and staggered terraced gardens of the property. This old royal retreat has now been fitted with all modern amenities which however, does not take away from the old world charm of the property.
HOTEL ACCOMMODATION: There are 10 Palace suites, each different yet similar that they are spacious, well appointed, and brimming with charm. The wide patios or little ornate windows, the antique furnishings, the definition of separate spaces and niches with low arches, all echo the splendour of a rich and luxurious past and make for a stay of indulgent fantasy in the present.
HOTEL FACILITIES: The palace has a multi-cuisine restaurant and a coffee shop. The open air sprawling Garden Restaurant is equally enticing on a dappled leisurely afternoon as on a wintry night with hot fresh tandoori kababs and little fire beside the table, both warm and welcoming. There is also a lounge and bar. Indian, Chinese and Continental fare is on offer in all the restaurants.
The hotel is equipped with all modern facilities for conducting a conference on the premises.
