This fabulous hotel in the little-visited desert town of Nagaur takes the heritage concept to new heights. It occupies the former zenana (women's’ quarters) of a magnificent medieval fort, comprising ten interlocking havelis, each with their own walled courtyards. The architecture’s a feast of salmon-hued sandstone, sculpted into slender pillars and decorative panels. Bougainvillea-pink silk cushions and indigo-blockprint bedspreads provide splashes of vibrant colour against the whitewashed walls and dark-wood antique furniture. You can lounge on terraces shaded by pierced jali screens, or in a gorgeous courtyard swimming pool. The food is dominated by Mughal-Sufi dishes, and served in a romantic pillared pavilion to a backdrop of tiny oil lamps.
