Our Heritage Story

200 years of Rajasthani hospitality

Our Story

From Royal Residence to Heritage Hotel

Built in 1824 by Maharana Bhim Singh II as a lakeside retreat for the royal family, Your Hotel has witnessed two centuries of history, culture, and transformation. What began as an exclusive royal residence has evolved into one of India's most cherished heritage hotels. The property was converted into a hotel in 1972 by the Maharana's descendants, who envisioned sharing this architectural marvel with the world while preserving its soul. Every restoration has been undertaken with meticulous care — original frescoes have been preserved, hand-carved jharokhas restored, and the distinctive Mewari architecture maintained in its full grandeur. Today, Your Hotel is managed by the sixth generation of the founding family, who continue the tradition of warm, personal hospitality that has made this property legendary among discerning travelers.
