HOTELS IN MANDWA
Hotel
Castle Mandwa
Castle Mandawa, a fortress, now converted into a luxurious heritage hotel.
Like many historic homes, Castle Mandawa is a curious mixture of the old
and the new. Medieval turreted towers, palanquin-roofed balconies, blend
with modern comforts in old-world rooms. Family portraits, antique cannons
and arms add to the charm of this family-run resort where tradition still
runs strong. Even time is measured by a different clock... a huge brass
gong struck by the resident timekeepers at the fort every hour!
Explore Castle Mandawa at your own pace. Spend a leisurely hour over a drink
in the colonial verandah that accommodates the bar, or relax in the cosy
comfort of the Diwankhana, the formal drawing room decorated with family
portraits and an array of antique armour.
Rooms The large and airy rooms of the Castle have been converted
into charming, well appointed accommodation, retaining the old flavour using
period furniture and local furnishings. No two rooms are alike (there are
70 of them -- Royal Suites, Luxury Suites, Deluxe Rooms, Standard Rooms)
and yet each of them display the grandeur and the taste of the rulers of
the past. A rare blend of modern comfort in medieval surroundings!
Part of the excitement of staying at Mandawa is a sense of discovery at
every turn. Battlements that offer spectacular views of the town below,
a whimsical peacock weathervane, an arched window that overlooks the verdant
garden visited by peacocks. In the
zenana or women's quarters, one
room offers antique murals, another has a marble fountain, while the turret
room boasts of walls that are 7 feet thick! Looking out from the windows
of the turret room it is easy to imagine the marauding bandits that once
roamed freely here
