Alsisar Haveli - Jaipur - Rajasthan

More than five centuries ago, the grandson of Maharaja Udaikaran of Amer, Rao Shekhaji, founded the sub-clan popularly known as 'Shekhawat'. Alsisar haveli is owned by this branch of the Kachawa clan of Rajputs. The descendants of the family have restructured and refurbished their old mansion (Haveli) into a modern day heritage hotel to give the guest a feel of Raj days.
Alsisar Haveli lies tucked away in the heart of pink city, Jaipur. It brings back to life the grandeur of the old days and is a memorable regal Rajasthani experience for the guests. Refurbished in 1982, the Haveli incorporates the finesse of traditional Rajput architecture and a site to behold. The large elevated platform that dominates the central area of the ground floor and once used for get-togethers by the gents of the house is now open to guests who can witness puppet shows and folk dances while enjoying their snacks or drinks. The spacious lobby which opens into the chowk (inner courtyard), was a century ago used by the ladies of the house and is now open to guests for a tête-à-tête

HOTEL OF THE MONTH --- Namaste! Welcome to Fifu Guest House which is located in a quiet street just outside the city - around ten minutes walk from the Jaisalmer Fort. The Hotel maintains historic Jaisalmeri charm whilst providing modern service and comfort. The style of our building goes back to the traditional stone architecture found in Jaisalmer over the centuries. The building gives an impression of an old Haveli of Jaisalmer, which has beautiful carving works on the stone and balconies (Jharokhas). The rooms are furnished in a quiet taste, making use of the silk and cotton materials woven in Rajasthan. The walls are decorated with old embroidery and contemporary Jaisalmeri textiles. The Hotel has twelve rooms on three floors. The rooms are all double rooms with air-conditioning (silent) and have an attached western style bathroom/toilet. The north facing rooms have a view to the Jaisalmer Fort from a window seat. The south facing rooms have a desert view from a window seat. The hotel has three separate terraces where you can relax and enjoy the panoramic view to the Jaislamer Fort. The Fifu restaurant is located on the 3rd floor roof terrace. Lying back on the cushions in the stone seats after sunset, you have a stunning view of the illuminated Jaisalmer Fort while enjoying your dinner. The restaurant is vegetarian and serves Indian and Continental meals, snacks and drinks. Fifu Guest House offers a range of services. We can organise desert camel safaris and sightseeing trips to local monuments. We also make arrangements for bus, train and air tickets and car hire.
