WelcomHeritage Bal Samand Lake Palace - Jodhpur    Share

Set on a private estate dominated by lime and pomegranate plantations—Bal Samand Lake Palace was the former vacation abode of royal families of Jodhpur. The ambience is astounding and hospitality is truly royal. Equipped with traditional décor, spacious lounges, dining bays, and Jacuzzi bath, this is one of the best palaces in Rajasthan, which is now converted into a heritage hotel. If you are planning to stay, book the Maharani Suite to enjoy the stunning view of the lake. Main attractions of Bal Samand Lake Palace: Garden rooms with private rose garden and terraced lawns

Overview: Been there two years in a row in towards the end of the winters. The sheer expanse of the property - with the gardens, the rustic rooms, the dam and the accompanying lake, the peacocks & monkeys, their stables and fruit gardens - is perfect, even if you don't intend to step out of it. Property & Room: Expansive, large, vast, spread-out, open - take your choice of words. They have multiple gardens, bridges over small brooks, a private dam, a lake reservoir, a small palace, an enclosed but open to air swimming-pool, peacock, squirrels, monkeys, horses, trees, and yes, i may be missing a lot more. The lawns are well manicured, the trees lush, clean roads & pathways, etc. The rooms are spread across 2 sections. The first set is near the lobby facing the lawns - all of them on the ground floor, these old-world rooms have a verandah, both in the front and the back of the rooms. We stayed in these rooms both the times we were there. The rooms are well-appointed, spacious, and clean. The other set is apparently more luxurious and suite-like and further ahead facing the lake F&B: The property has 2 dining options; one is the conventional restaurant/coffee-shop, where they serve breakfast and is an all-day dining option. The other restaurant being an only-evening option, which is on the lawns,. which predominantly serves tandoored/barbequed stuff, where they also serve alcohol and other a-la-carte items. This restaurant seemed pretty popular with locals, popular enough to undertake a fairly long drive in the evenings :) The breakfast is pretty comprehensive with the regular Indian fare (South & North) and continental options; this coffeeshop/restaurant has both, an indoor (pretty vintage & rustic) feel and a few tables outside Services & Amenities: The property has it's own stables with horses (they seem well-taken care-of, with lots of space); vegetable, herb & fruit trees, a dam, peacocks, monkeys, squirrels, dogs, birds of many species (pardon me, if i'm missing anything else) and yes, a swimming pool, a dam and give or take a few more things. So plan to spend quality time in the property - only then would you be doing justice to it. Overall: All-in-all, if you're fine to overlook some finesse & curated refinement, this beautiful and for us city-dwellers, a small-suburb sized property is an exceptionally unique experience

Amazing heritage hotel in jodhpur many foreigners peoples are come this place.. This place very beautiful and large area in garden

Truly one of the most unique hotel experiences of my life. The rooms and service are excellent. The hotel definitely has a 5 star but rustic ambiance. The hotel is never crowded, food is awesome. As someone who has stayed at 5 star hotels across the world, this is one of my favorite. Peacocks and monkeys roam a large and tranquil property. My only regret is that I didn't stay longer.

One of the finest Hotel property in Entire Rajasthan. Beautiful place Awesome gesture Lovely food Huge and clean lake Too much greenery Full of nature Full of beautiful animals. What else is missing. Complete package for a perfect weekend getaway.
