RAAS Jodhpur

1 / 10

The takeaway

Choose RAAS Jodhpur for a small-scale haveli stay that keeps Mehrangarh views and the Old City’s stepwell-and-market life close at hand.

About the hotel

RAAS Jodhpur occupies the Walled City’s north-eastern quarter, where an original 18th-century haveli and other historic buildings sit alongside contemporary additions. The 40-room-and-suite hotel frames Mehrangarh Fort from a courtyard setting; the hotel says nearly every room has a fort panorama. Its design pairs carved Rajput stonework and rose-red sandstone with black terrazzo, Jodhpur-blue accents and contemporary art. Stepwell Square and the surrounding Old Town lanes give the stay a distinctly urban context.

Choose it if

You want a historic haveli setting with contemporary design and a view toward Mehrangarh Fort.
You’d rather explore the Walled City’s stepwell, markets and lanes on foot or by tuk-tuk than base yourself outside the old center.

Skip it if

You prefer a quieter, out-of-center base: this hotel is in the active Walled City, amid narrow Old Town lanes.

Guest discussion

What real people are saying.

Reddit excerpts · separate from Rex’s editorial judgment

One guest praises the food and evening views of the fort, but says reaching the hotel can be difficult. Another describes RAAS as expensive, with an upscale-feeling crowd at the rooftop bar; the excerpts offer mixed signals on convenience and value, alongside appealing views and atmosphere.

Discussion is limited; these accounts offer a glimpse rather than a broad verdict.

“I stayed there last winter. Amazing hotel, food and evening views of the fort but pain in the ass to get to”

The Johri at Lal Haveli

Jaipur, India

CityHistoric

The Johri occupies Lal Haveli, a restored 19th-century home in Jaipur’s old walled city, amid Johri Bazaar’s jewellery shops and textile traders. Eight suites face an inner courtyard, while the hotel’s public life centers on a seasonal vegetarian restaurant and Pukhraj Lounge, where afternoon high chai gives way to cocktails. Rajasthani textiles, antique furnishings, traditional materials and hand-painted murals give the small-scale stay a distinctly local frame.

The Oberoi Rajvilas, Jaipur

Jaipur, India

City71 roomsRomantic

Set across 32 acres on Jaipur’s southeastern side, The Oberoi Rajvilas turns a resort stay into a stylised retreat from the city. Domed pink architecture, reflection pools and quiet courtyards shape the grounds, where rooms, tents and villas sit in landscaped gardens. The design draws on traditional Rajasthani forms, while Maharaja-inspired luxury tents add a distinct accommodation option. Central Jaipur is about 10 kilometres away, so the property works best as a base for planned outings rather than a stay in the old city.

Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur

Jodhpur, India

CityHistoric

On Chittar Hill above Jodhpur’s Blue City, Umaid Bhawan Palace operates as both a Taj hotel and an active royal residence, with the royal family occupying a separate wing. Its golden sandstone exterior combines Indo-Saracenic, Classical Revival and Western Art Deco influences; inside, the lobby rises beneath a 45-metre dome. The hotel lists 71 rooms and suites across a palace set amid 26 acres of gardens, giving the stay a sense of scale tied to the building itself.

Royal Mansour Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

City53 roomsUltra-Luxury

Royal Mansour Marrakech is a 53-riads-only hotel set across a 5-hectare estate inside Marrakech’s imperial city, a short walk from Jemaa el-Fna. Rather than standard rooms, guests stay in multi-storey private riads linked by winding alleyways, courtyards and gardens, reinforcing the hotel’s self-described “medina within a medina” concept. The defining experience is less a conventional palace stay than an immersion in Moroccan craftsmanship, privacy and spatial drama on a grand urban scale.

La Mamounia

Marrakech, Morocco

CityHistoric

La Mamounia is a 209-key palace hotel in Marrakech, built on an 18th-century royal garden estate and framed by 13 hectares of historic grounds behind old city ramparts. Its appeal is the contrast between Medina-adjacent access and a self-contained world of gardens, pools, restaurants and riads, with architecture that mixes Moroccan craft traditions and Art Deco. Major redesign work was completed in 2020, with a second phase finished in 2023.

Olinto Atlas Mountain Retreat & Spa

Marigha, Morocco

Mountain9 rooms

In Douar Marigha, Olinto occupies a leafy estate in the Ouirgane Valley, well away from Marrakech’s city streets. Its nine standalone pavilions pair private gardens with views of the High Atlas; some accommodation categories have private heated pools. The property’s character lies in the contrast between secluded, garden-led living and the region’s Berber villages and mountain trails. Spa and hammam treatments, seasonal Moroccan-Mediterranean dining, and guided outdoor experiences shape a stay centered on the valley rather than the city.
