Tucked just outside Jaipur’s historic Pink City, Dera Mandawa is a charming 19th-century haveli turned boutique heritage hotel, offering a serene and culturally rich escape. Built by Thakur Jait Singhji of Mandawa and still lovingly run by his descendants, the haveli blends Rajasthani and colonial architecture featuring jharokhas, arched doorways, frescoed walls, and hand carved pillars. Its 11 spacious suites are individually styled with antique furnishings, colorful textiles, and cozy reading nooks, and come equipped with modern comforts like air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, and private balconies or terraces. The heart of Dera Mandawa is its warm, family-style hospitality. Guests are welcomed as members of the household and can enjoy immersive experiences like Rajasthani cooking classes, turban or sari tying, henna art, kite flying, and evening folk music in the courtyard. Ideally located near landmarks such as the City Palace and Hawa Mahal, Dera Mandawa offers a rare blend of authenticity, intimacy, and cultural depth in Jaipur.
