Jaipur House occupies one of the most singular positions on Mount Abu, a hill station in Rajasthan perched at over 1,200 metres in the Aravalli Mountains. This heritage hotel overlooks Nakki Lake and preserves the atmosphere of a residence from another era, when Rajasthan's princely families came to escape the heat of the plains.

Why choose Jaipur House

Mount Abu is Rajasthan's only hill station, and Jaipur House ranks among its most distinguished heritage addresses. The property will appeal to travellers seeking characterful accommodation rather than a standardised hotel, set within a historical context linked to Rajasthan's royal dynasties.

• Heritage hotel category, with architecture inspired by royal residences
• Elevated position, with sweeping views across Nakki Lake and surrounding vegetation
• Comprehensive on-site services: restaurant, bar, café and event spaces
• Valuable stopover for those combining Udaipur, southern Rajasthan and Gujarat

The atmosphere of the place

Jaipur House follows the tradition of Rajasthan's heritage hotels: historic buildings converted into accommodation, with royal-style architecture that recalls the era when these residences belonged to princely families. The spaces remain generous, common areas open onto the landscape, and furnishings maintain a classical tone rather than contemporary design.

Mount Abu, with its cooler climate than the rest of Rajasthan, gives stays a particular character: you come here to slow down, not to rush through sightseeing.

Services and facilities

The hotel offers the services you would expect from a heritage property in this category:

• Dining: a main restaurant, a bar for cocktails and a café for daytime breaks
• Core services: reception, room service, on-site parking
• Events: banquet halls for conferences, weddings and private functions, making it a popular venue locally for celebrations

Details of rooms and specific facilities should be confirmed directly with the property at the time of booking.

Location on Mount Abu

Jaipur House is situated in the heights of Mount Abu, a short distance from Nakki Lake, the hub of the station. The lake, naturally formed in a depression of the Aravalli range, is surrounded by walking trails and viewpoints, including the famous Sunset Point. Proximity to this landmark is one of the main assets of the property.

To reach Mount Abu, expect several hours of driving from Udaipur or Ahmedabad, the two regional gateways. Abu Road railway station, lower down, connects the town via a mountain road.

Nearby attractions

Mount Abu concentrates several major sites accessible in half a day:

• The Dilwara Temples: a Jain complex from the 11th–13th centuries, celebrated for the fine detail of its white marble carvings
• Nakki Lake: boat trips, walks around the water, viewpoints
• Guru Shikhar: the highest peak of the Aravalli range, panoramic views over the region
• Sunset Point and Honeymoon Point: classic viewpoints of the station

To extend your journey through Rajasthan or elsewhere in India, other heritage properties can complement your itinerary: Amet Haveli and Hotel Swaroop Vilas in Udaipur, Haveli Inn Pal in Jodhpur, Bassi Fort near Chittorgarh, or Desert Coursers in the Little Rann of Kutch in Gujarat.
