Fantastic Experience in a 19th century Fort Palace
Brilliant concept - a luxury hotel within a 19th century fort palace. Rooms have all modern amenities but retain their ancient charm. We chose Nilima Mahal for our stay because it had a small study area where I could complete some unfinished work. Good WiFi and mobile phone signal.The Rajasthani cuisine was par excellence. Kudos to Neemrana for restoring this beautiful property.

Perfect Setting for Our Retreat
Thanks for the magical days of poetry and meditative discussions, for sharing your writing and the creative process. That mystic poetry has so much density and diversity was brought home through the sessions, and the evening programme on Lorca’s “Deep Song” illustrated the oneness of poetic language across barriers of time and geography. Tijara Fort was the perfect setting for our Retreat, and Aman, we were lucky to have you amongst us, introducing the history and mystical meanings of such a heritage space. Teamwork, I appreciate all the details of our comfortable stay. Thank you-- each one of you—for the memorable days. I cherish our conversations and the warm friendship. The programme may lead towards a publication which we can discuss another time.

Beautiful Setting for a Hotel
We laboured up the incline and, fifteen minutes later, arrived at the summit—a wind-whipped vantage point that overlooked acres of unpopulated farmland. Clusters of palm trees swayed in the distance under a gorgeous blue sky. It was a beautiful setting for a hotel. And the nineteenth-century fort-palace of Tijara in Alwar had fallen into most excellent hands—the Neemrana group of hotels.

Beautiful Piece of History
It is a beautiful piece of history that nobody has ever lived in and will soon be converted into a hotel.

Transported Back to the Age of the Maharajas
These erstwhile protective bastions were now picture-perfect windows with each one framing a different aspect of the surrounding country... The room's balconies & the whole building had been renovated by using the same materials as the original structure: sandstone for the walls & floors & greystone for the sills and staircases. The furniture was either old or built in the same fashion & included ornate wooden almirahs with painted doors & some mirrorwork. A pool was being constructed on the south side of our building. I could see that it'd have a long uninterrupted view of the plains stretching out to the township of Tijara. The feeling it would evoke was that of being transported back to the age of the Maharajas.

Undiluted Antiquity in the Facades of a Desolate Monument
We’re in Alwar, the gateway to Rajasthan, where we’re staring at undiluted antiquity in the facades of a desolate monument, Tijara Fort. The turreted towers of its Hawa Mahal where the winds waft in at will and a low sequestered structure Rani Mahal are all that’s visible of a lost kingdom by the Aravalis.Winding up to the fort, views of relic landscapes melt away modernity. To the west, like a scene from the Old Testament, are date palms bent by desert breezes. To the east, till the mountain horizons, are green fields that’ll turn into cloudy grey-blue lakes in the monsoon.

History Given a New Interpretation
“A stupendous effort has been underway to give history a new interpretation…
The basic decision was to use the hilly nature of the terrain to locate all the large-scale functions at such depths that they would not clutter the historic composition of the three historic buildings above the ground. The three historic buildings have been creatively restored and eclectically renewed with an eye for detail. Tijara teaches us how it’s not the relentless conservation of singular, old buildings but the creative use and adaptive reuse of a complex of historic buildings in their larger context that gives the best results.”

Courteous Staff
We stayed in Lal Mahal. The 4-bedded room was very beautiful, and all the decorations and items were neat and clean. It was a pleasant stay at Tijara Fort-Palace, but the time was short, as we could not get booking for two days (Saturday to Sunday). All the staff members were very courteous and cooperative. We will definitely come again and also recommend this property to our family and relatives.

Outstanding and Exceptional Hospitality
"Had an incredible stay for the second time at The Tijara Fort-Palace. What stands out about the Neemrana chain is the beauty of the Fort-Palace. The old-world charm, coupled with the outstanding and exceptional support, help, and hospitality of the entire staff of TFP, was remarkable. The F&B people were outstanding, and every member of the staff gave us a memorable experience."
