GRAND HAVELI INSPIRED BY INDIA’S MOGHUL ERA

October 12, 2009 on 6:56 pm | In Asia, Hotels, India | Comments Off

Styled after the grand architecture of the Moghul era, Amanbagh pays homage to Rajasthan’s golden age through its elegant interpretation of a grand haveli, or nobleman’s palace.

It sprawls over grounds once used by the Maharajah of Alwar as mobile hunting camps in his search for the elusive tigers known to roam the nearby hills.

Lavish interiors incorporate floors of softly-hued pink marble or makrana, and domed cupolas and inner courtyards of pale smooth sandstone. Amanbagh’s 24 Haveli Suites and 16 Pool Pavilions are set in a lush oasis of verdant foliage, and there is a pool, heated in the cooler months, along with a spa where yoga and Ayurvedic treatments are on the menu.

Tip: Amanbagh’s organic garden provides most of the resort’s herbs and vegetables, so salads are deliciously fresh. Guests should request a tour of the garden with one of Amanbagh’s chefs.
