Heritage Hotel Jodhpur x 8MH

About the Property

Welcome to the ancient town of Kot, where grand bastions await to usher you into a unique boutique heritage hotel. Despite the opulent entrance, the homestay’s rustic simplicity is a testament to the earth of Rajasthan used in its construction. For over 180 years, the Thakur family has lovingly cared for the Kot, which is estimated to have existed for over a millennium.

Thanks to the Thakur family’s dedication, the distinctive arts of Rajasthan continue to thrive in this hidden corner. The ancient loom and handmade crafts are being meticulously preserved at Dhundhara, shielded from the fast-paced outside world.

Discover a time long forgotten and witness the true artisans and craftsmen whose work is the foundation of the opulence that defines Rajasthan. Immerse yourself in the rich history, culture, and adventure of this boutique homestay in Rajasthan. Book your stay at our property and experience the essence of Rajasthan firsthand. 

About the Space

Relax and unwind from the hustle and bustle of daily life as you settle into our beautifully furnished en-suite rooms. Each of the four rooms is fitted with modern amenities and opens onto a spacious Indian verandah that overlooks a sprawling garden, ideal for indulging in an afternoon tea.

With plenty of cosy nooks and crannies to curl up with a book or take a leisurely nap on a traditional Indian Charpoy daybed, this heritage property in Rajasthan provides the perfect escape.

Our boutique property offers a comprehensive experience of Rajasthan, from locally sourced linens and bath towels made of pure cotton to the delicious local delicacies prepared in the Thakur family kitchens.
