A 14th-century fort in Rajasthan’s famed tiger district Ranthambore has been converted into a luxury hotel.
Rajasthan, the setting of the highly anticipated Six Senses Fort Barwara hotel, is the largest state in India and a sensory hub of colorful, vibrant activity. The surrounding sands beckon travelers forth to experience dream-like palaces, festivals, and wildlife encounters sure to elicit nostalgia for India’s royal heritage.
The Six Senses Fort Barwara hotel has opened in the village of Chauth ka Barwara on the site of a 700-year-old fort, formerly owned by the Rajasthani Royal Family. A team of conservation experts has been tasked with preserving the regal ambiance of the original fort structure.
Inside the fort, three traditional buildings and two temples are being preserved and restored, while protected land to the east is being reforested. The overall design of the hotel includes traditional gardens and water features alongside Shekhavati art depicting the surrounding landscape. Hotel amenities include two restaurants, a bar and lounge, fitness center and pool, and much more.
