INTRODUCTION
 With
a great sense of pride and pleasure I introduce Rohet Garh – our
ancestral home since 1622 AD. Bestowed upon the first amongst our kin
Thakur Dalpat Singh I for his exemplary courage and bravery in
numerous military campaigns under the banner of the Rathores, Rohet
became one of the most important Jagirs (fiefdoms) of the state of
Marwar.
OUR HISTORY
Generations of noblemen have graced and cherished this home that over
time has come to be revered. It has been a silent witness to the
progress of our family for four centuries. It has stood by us
steadfast through the highs and the lows; it has protected us and
given us shelter. Above all it has given us our identity. In January
1990 we opened its gates to receive the discerning traveler. To share
with him our heritage, and give him a glimpse of our land with its
brilliant colours, where culture and tradition are deep-rooted and
vibrant & its people - so deeply civilized! Today Rohet Garh is a
leading Heritage Hotel, where the experience goes far beyond the high
walls of the Garh (Fort). It is home first and Hotel after… And you
- our honoured guests.
OUR HERITAGE
Rohet Garh is a classified Heritage Hotel. Over the course of fifteen
years it has been nurtured and developed with great love and care by
the family into one of the finest Heritage hotels in the country. No
new building has been added in the renovation process, but rather, old
edifices have been skillfully redesigned to create a heritage property
that has few parallels. Situated on the banks of a lake and set in the
midst of rural surroundings, it is a haven of peace and tranquillity.
Sprawling lawns and manicured gardens, which invite a multitude of
birds and dancing peacocks, herald your entry into this oasis where
the bird song is the only sound you will hear. A superb swimming pool
with four charming pavilions entices you for a refreshing dip. Often
dinner is served by the poolside as folk musicians enliven the evening
atmosphere. An elegant, beautifully appointed lounge, serene verandahs,
and terraces with breathtaking views, make perfect venues for
relaxation. The thirty-four individually decorated rooms add a touch
of class.
OUR ACTIVITIES
Pioneers of activities such as 'The Village Safari', and offering an
array of activities- from an extensive equestrian program to culinary
workshops, Rohet Garh has set the highest standards in quality and
efficiency, offering its guests an experience beyond compare.
OUR CUISINE
Rohet Garh proudly boasts of the finest kitchens in traditional
cuisine. The chefs have been trained by the lady of the house, the
late Thakurani Sahiba, who was the author of Cuisine of Rohet Garh and
Quick and Easy Rajasthani Cuisine, the former published due to popular
demand from our guests. Many have called their meal at Rohet Garh,
their best in India.
OUR PEACE & TRANQUILITY
The peace and tranquility of the environs have drawn writers from
around the world. Rohet Garh has had the honour of hosting some of the
most respected names in the literary world. Bruce Chatwin and William
Dalrymple practically lived at Rohet Garh for four to five months
working on their respective books, The Song-lines and The City of
Djinns. Patrick French too is a friend of the family's and has spent
time at Rohet Garh, as did Simon Winchester and Jeffery Morehouse.
OUR ACCOMMODATION
Thirty-four
beautifully appointed air-conditioned rooms are the pride of the
property. Each room is unique, boasting of its own special feature,
all the while being welcoming and intimate. The frescoes set the rooms
apart from the ordinary, and the furniture, designed in-house in
traditional hues, is of the highest quality. All rooms have attached
modern bathrooms, which are spotlessly clean and tastefully adorned.
