Alsisar Mahal — Hotel in Rajasthan

The property is well connected from Delhi and is a pleasant 6 hours drive. Some stretches were under renovation at the time we traveled.

The property is grand and imposing and has a wonderful heritage feel about it. Very well maintained as well.

The rooms are gigantic with huge washrooms and a sitting area just outside. It was really cold when we visited and the two heaters in the room were life saving. Being on the top our room had adequate sunlight as well.

The evening we arrived, we booked a sundowner. This was essentially open gypsies modified for safari which took us over sand dunes and into the desert to a vantage point to view the sunset. This was a nice experience especially for my 12 year old son. We did get to see some deer, neel guy, different birds etc. Hot tea and fresh biscuits were served sitting in comfy camp chairs (some hot pakoras would have been nice!).

The breakfast and food in general was good (they charge for cappuccino during the inclusive breakfast - definitely not done!). The staff is friendly and helpful. They can be more professional.

The property has taken great care to create and maintain some amazing spaces within the hotel like a hawa mahal on the terrace with coloured glass, a WW II lounge, dungeons which double up as a conference or party area, weapons lounge (which has a pool table - needs replacement / repair).

The New Year evening was well organised with live DJ music in the dungeon, an open area at the rear which served up fresh pizzas from the clay oven, kababs from the barbeque and live pasta counter - all very nicely done.

The area around the Mahal is full of old havelis, most in disrepair or abandoned, but they add an amazing feel to the area.

One of the highlights of our visit was a drive onto roads into the wilderness where we chanced upon a small dhaba which served us a fresh and delicious home cooked...

We had a three-night stay at the hotel. It is a beautiful mahal in a small village and a perfect weekend getaway from Delhi-NCR. It was a 6 hour drive to the hotel from our home. Roads are in good condition but small patches of potholes do exist.||The mahal is very well maintained, and even the regular rooms have enough space for 3. The badal mahal and the main restaurant are a delight to the eye. The chef went to great lengths to cook different local dishes for us every night. For non-vegetarians, make sure to try 'Lal Maas' and 'Lehsuni Murg' for dinner.||The hotel staff organised an hour long heritage walk to other haveli's in the same village. While not every haveli was well kept, the guide did a good job detailing the history and architecture of each haveli.||For adventure seeking people, the hotel also organises evening safari to nearby dessert area. We spotted multiple species of deers, and grey francolin (तीतर). Finally, we ended the evening with tea/coffee and some cookies from the hotel's own bakery.||For those who want to explore more history and architecture, do visit the Dr. Ramnath Podar Haveli in Nawalgarh. It is an hour long drive from the hotel, and is one of the prettiest haveli...

Alsisar Mahal was a beautiful experience. We stayed two nights in the super luxury room that was enormous. They had taken care to ensure that there was adequate heating as it was bitterly cold. |The room is divided into three sections and is really comfortable with adequate seating to entertain. |The bathroom is also huge and well spaced. |The decor is charming. It’s a great balance between being ethnic and not being an overkill. A window looks out into a delightful neem tree and the world within that. |There are several interesting spaces within the property to keep you busy- a vintage jeep collection, a dungeon bar , a lovely pool, a temple, a sunset safari and so on. |The dining room is large and can seat a vast number of people. This is the only part that made it look like a commercial property. |The staff are really warm, hospitable and helpful. The food too is quite good with both buffet and a la carte options. |The town itself is charming and has quite a few sights. It’s central and several other places of interest are within close driving distance. |It was a great start...
