RAAS has a sensational position beneath Jodhpur's imposing Mehrangarh Fort; as the only luxury boutique hotel within an Indian Walled-City, it embodies class with a rare and understated elegance. By grafting contemporary architecture and ambience onto the 300-year-old mansion, brothers Nikhilendra and Dhananajaya Singh have reclaimed, indeed enhanced, its grandeur.A nuanced harmony permeates the hotel's 32-room, 7-suite grounds.
