Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

A 230 year old warrior fort converted into a luxury hotel, Bishangarh Fort can be seen from miles away and is the epitomy of romance and luxury in India. It's restoration has been done delicately and with consideration for the history of the site and unlike many restored palaces, now luxury hotels, Bishangarh Fort is simpler and more modern - a nod to it's use for war. 

Large guest rooms enjoy sweeping views of the countryside and come equipped with big bathrooms and footed baths and the spa can be found in the old dungeon, carved out of granite rocks giving it a type of quiet unique to this hotel.

With multiple restaurants, what can't be picked from the organic garden, fruit orchard or greenhouse is sourced locally for fresh flavours like no other. A candle lit meal on the open air terrace at night is one of Bishangarh Fort's exclusive experiences - food is cooked in sand pits and over open flames.
