Alila Fort Bishangarh, Jaipur
|
|
Jaipur, the capital of India’s Rajasthan state, was founded in 1727 by Maharaj Jai Singh II, who ruled Jaipur State from 1699-1744. Initially his capital was Amber, which lies 11 km from Jaipur. As the kingdom’s population grew, he moved the capital to Jaipur, which was developed as India’s first ever planned city, following the principles of Shilpa Shastra (the science of Indian architecture) and referencing the ancient Indian knowledge on astronomy.
It was in 1876 that the city was painted its famed pink colour – the colour of warmth and welcome – for the visit of the Prince of Wales (who later became King Edward VII). Since then, the “Pink City”, as it is lovingly called, has retained its rosy blush, which continues to charm travellers from around the world.
Perhaps the only warrior fort to be converted into a heritage resort, this historic landmark is a unique example of Jaipur Gharana architecture, influenced by both the Mughals and the British.
Alila Fort Bishangarh, a magnificent hotel in Jaipur, India is the ideal launch pad to start exploring the much famed attractions in and around Jaipur.
Located at Bishangarh Village in the Jaipur District, barely 6 km off the Delhi-Jaipur National Highway, Alila Fort Bishangarh is easily accessible from both Delhi and Jaipur. It is 180 km (3 hours) from Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi and only 55 km (1 hour) from Jaipur Airport.

ITC Rajputana celebrates the spirit of Rajput palaces in the modern idiom. The location that was once the estate of Prime Minister of Jaipur was later built into this magnificent hotel where the guests are welcomed in a royal atmosphere through the lobby leading into two sets of staircases with a Jharoka enhancing the outside view. The running water streams, the waterfall in the lobby, the ‘Wall of Mirrors’ and the ‘Bazar’ selling the goods prepared by local craftsmen have all been inspired by the forts and palaces of the region. ITC Rajputana, thus, reflects everything that is splendid about Rajasthan.
