RAAS Jodphur, India

Seldom does a boutique hotel blend rich cultural heritage with contemporary design so seamlessly as RAAS Jodphur. Situated within Jodhpur's traditional walls, RAAS announces itself as a microcosm of the city itself, boasting stunning vistas at every angle and a calming respite from the blue metropolis outside.

For its architecture alone, RAAS could be amongst the world's most impressive boutique hotels, but it is the breath-taking view of Mehrangarh Fort which truly cements its position as one of India's premier luxury destinations. Combine this with outstanding service, two restaurants, an in-house spa, heated pool and even a special blue tuk-tuk for sightseeing and one wonders why you would go anywhere else.
