Check-in begins at 2:00 PM with a traditional aarti welcome and saffron tea ceremony. Check-out is at 11:00 AM. Early check-in and late check-out are available upon request, subject to availability. We never rush our guests -- the fort has waited 300 years. It can wait a few hours more.

The Maharana Suite and Zenana Suite are located on the ground level with step-free access. We have installed discreet ramps at key entry points while preserving the fort's heritage fabric. Please inform us of any specific requirements at the time of booking, and we will prepare accordingly.

Light, breathable clothing for the daytime. A shawl or light jacket for desert evenings, which can be surprisingly cool. Comfortable walking shoes for the heritage walks. We provide traditional Rajasthani attire -- a safa (turban) and angrakha -- for the evening ceremonies, should you wish to wear them.

Yes. With only 13 suites, Qila Mahal is ideally suited for full-fort buyouts. We host approximately four exclusive bookings per year -- typically for weddings, family reunions, or corporate retreats. Contact the Majordomo for bespoke pricing and availability.

High-speed Wi-Fi is available in all suites and public areas. However, we gently encourage you to disconnect. The fort existed for 300 years without the internet, and some of the best experiences -- the silence of the courtyard at dawn, the stars from the terrace -- require nothing but your presence.

Free cancellation up to 14 days before arrival. Cancellations within 14 days incur a charge equivalent to one night's stay. For full-fort buyouts and wedding bookings, a bespoke cancellation schedule applies. We believe in flexibility -- life, like the desert, is unpredictable.
