Venue Spotlight: Tijara Fort-Palace
A Regal Retreat for Celebrations and Stories
Perched atop the hills of Alwar, just a few hours’ drive from Delhi, Tijara Fort-Palace is not merely a hotel, it’s a historic dream resurrected. An unfinished 19th-century fort, now lovingly restored, this palace is one of Rajasthan’s most unique heritage stays. With 109 rooms and suites, each named after an artist, designer, or aesthete who contributed to its design, Tijara Fort-Palace is more than just a place to stay, it is an experience that intertwines art, architecture, and ancestry.
A Stay Steeped in Heritage
Every suite at Tijara Fort-Palace tells a story. The Rani Mahal, built around a tropical garden court, offers views fit for royalty – from octagonal turrets to a panoramic terrace that captures the countryside in all its glory. Mardana Mahal rooms unfold around a spacious court and were painstakingly carved from rock to create airy, arched chambers with balconies overlooking kitchen gardens and the Aravalli landscape.
For those who seek accessibility and charm, Deewar Mahal and Tope Mahal offer rooms with easy proximity to dining spaces and gardens, situated where the cannons of yesteryears once stood. Khajur Mahal, with its three spacious and private rooms, is ideal for a meditative retreat or intimate group celebration.
Culinary Traditions, Reinvented
Dining at Tijara is an occasion in itself. The in-house restaurant offers fresh buffets and garden-to-table meals served under the open sky, surrounded by fort ramparts and romantic lighting. For an unforgettable al fresco experience, guests can enjoy fort-side dining with family or a loved one, perfect for special occasions.
In a nod to sustainability and guest wellness, Tijara Fort-Palace also raises its own free-range chickens, providing organic eggs that are richer in omega-3, vitamins A and E, and free from antibiotics or hormones. Meals here are not just nourishing, they’re crafted to fuel the soul.
The experience is elevated further by The Marigold Bar, nestled in Kaanch Mahal, where signature cocktails like the Gainda Cool or Nagina Bam Bam are served amidst frangipanis, palms, and the gentle silhouettes of the Aravallis.
A Wedding Destination Like No Other
Tijara Fort-Palace is a venue where history blesses the future. Ideal for both grand and intimate celebrations, it offers the flexibility to book the entire palace or select wings – 22 rooms in Rani Mahal or 47 in Mardana Mahal, with sleeping capacities of 55 to 150 guests.
Whether it’s a sunset ceremony on the terrace, a mehendi in the Chattis-dari pavilion, or a sangeet in the sunken auditorium that seats 200, every event space at Tijara is steeped in romance. The two-level poolside and the fort’s hanging gardens make breathtaking backdrops for mandaps, receptions, and photographs alike.
Add fireworks, folk dancers, or live classical music, and you have a wedding wrapped in cultural authenticity and cinematic flair.
Spaces for Minds That Lead
For corporate gatherings and creative thinkers, Tijara Fort-Palace is a sanctuary. Its strategic location between Delhi and Jaipur makes it a top choice for offsites and conferences. Step outside the glass boardroom into Darbar Hall, Megh Malhar Mahal, or Hawa Mahal, with seating capacities ranging from 36 to 120, and allow the fort’s energy to spark fresh ideas.
The fort's vast outdoor areas can also host large-scale sessions, breakout discussions, or team-building activities under open skies.
Wellness, Leisure and Nature
Tijara Fort-Palace offers both rest and rejuvenation. A secluded sunken pool at the hilltop invites guests to unwind, swim, or even host a night pool party beneath the stars. The spa and wellness centre offers a full suite of treatments, including yoga, meditation, steam and sauna, making it a rare wellness resort near Delhi that balances heritage with healing.
For quieter moments, indoor activities like badminton, table tennis, or time in the library and TV lounge are available. Whether you're here for celebration or solitude, Tijara has something for every mood.
Beyond the Fort: A Cultural Tapestry
Located at the crossroads of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, Tijara is the perfect gateway to Rajasthan’s wonders. Within minutes of the fort lie the Tijara Jain Temples, the ruins of Bhangarh, and the Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary, home to tigers, leopards, and rich birdlife.
Explore the regal City Palace of Alwar, the towering Bala Qila, or the tranquil Jaisamand Lake. Take in the grandeur of Moosi Maharani ki Chhatri, or lose yourself in the symmetry of Sagar. From ancient forts to sacred temples, from jungle safaris to marble cenotaphs – Tijara offers access to it all.
