Pratap Mahal, Ajmer
Rajasthani palace/haveli-inspired luxury resort. Warm sandstone tones, ornate arches, marble detailing, courtyards, and manicured gardens. Feels more regal retreat than urban hotel.
Book the Luxury Room or Executive Suite for garden/Aravalli views; Superior Rooms overlook the courtyard only.
Why It Matters
The only major IHCL luxury resort sitting between Ajmer and Pushkar, a genuinely scenic stretch of the Aravalli foothills. Every single room has a private balcony with a jhoola — even the standard category. The Baradari and Lily Pond are architectural highlights rarely seen at a new-build hotel.
A purpose-built luxury resort on the scenic Pushkar Bypass road, set against the Aravalli hills between the pilgrimage town of Pushkar and the city of Ajmer. The architecture evokes aristocratic Rajasthani havelis — arches, domes, marble courtyards, a Baradari pavilion, and a lily pond — but it is entirely new construction, which means the comforts are fully modern. Spread across 6 acres with 88 rooms and suites, each opening onto a private balcony with a traditional swing (jhoola), it is part of IHCL's SeleQtions collection, the Taj group's portfolio of hotels with a strong sense of place.
