Hotel Description
A stone's throw away from the ancient capital of Marwar,
Mandore, and only 8 km from the city-center of Jodhpur, Bal
Samand Palace is a world away from the hustle and bustle of
modern life. The lake was engineered in the 12th Century but
the exquisite red sand-stone palace came later; it was built
by Maharaja Jaswant Singh I of Jodhpur in the 17th Century,
at the very zenith of Rathore Rule under the umbrella of the
Mughal Empire. Set in a private estate of over 60 Acres,
with sprawling orchards of lime and pomegranate and
landscaped gardens criss-crossed by elegant waterways and
even a aqueduct, the palace with its lovely promenade on the
lake, was always more than just a residence; a pleasure
palace in the finest Mughal tradition of the picnic. In more
recent times a tradition has developed with the Royal Family
celebrating the first rains in Bal Samand; a custom that has
led to the palace being referred to as a Monsoon Palace. But
today, after the successful completion of an ambitious
restoration and modernization program Bal Samand is the
palace for all seasons; a world class Heritage Hotel with
modern amenities and an Ayurvedic Health Spa of renown.
The Bal Samand Place houses nine exclusive suites in all,
and suites alone. Each is tastefully and luxuriously
appointed in authentic Jodhpur style, with traditional
seating, dining alcoves, chaise longues by the window and
enormous jacuzzi baths. The gracious interiors are matched
only by the spectacular views of the pristine lake and the
splendid gardens.
Down in the gardens, surrounded by acres of manicured lawn,
are twenty six tastefully designed Garden Rooms with their
own Rose Garden, croquet lawn and restaurant.
