Royal Palaces & Heritage Hotels

The ‘Heritage Hotel’ concept originated in Rajasthan but also appears all over India. Many property owners who still inhabit their ancestral homes who could no longer afford to keep them up and, rather than let them go to ruin, they have decided to open their doors to the public by converting them into small and atmospheric hotels. In this respect they are still able to live in their homes and yet receive enough income to keep them from collapse, thus preserving a part of the country’s heritage.
