Hotel Raas Haveli

About Company

Located in the prominent north-eastern quarter of the famous Walled City, RAAS Jodhpur is based around an original eighteenth century Haveli. Echoes of the Rajput architecture can be found throughout the building, in everything from its intricately carved stone panels to its antique shrines to the arches surviving from the stables. Indeed, entire original buildings are interspersed with the rose-red modern architecture. The Darikhana, also known as the `Chamber of Carpets`, was built towards the end of the eighteenth century and served as the Haveli`s guest-house. Now it is RAAS`s most popular alfresco dining venue. In comparison, the Baradari was the haveli`s `newest` addition; built in the 1850s as the Thakur`s personal entertainment pavilion, it was where the he spent his days, and no doubt many a night, entertaining and being entertained. It has retained this purpose through the centuries and now serves as a restaurant at the heart of the hotel, hosting events all year round. The pavilion has also retained its original multi-pillared structure, indeed ‘baradari`, its very name, means `twelve pillars`.
