Opening in April of 2017, Alila Fort Bishangarh is a centuries-old warrior fort that’s been converted into a luxury resort the likes of which you’ve probably never seen. Lovingly restored by Alila Hotels and Resorts to keep the original fort intact while expanding the grounds to include everything one could possibly need on a luxury excursion, Alila Fort Bishangarh recreates the courtly flavor and grandeur of Shahpura’s royalty while still transforming it into a modern oasis situated an hour from Jaipur and three hours from Delhi. The all-suite resort features 59 different suites that are completely unique along with public areas boasting banquet lawns, pool, juice bar, fitness center, kids “soldiers club,” theme restaurants, cafe lounge, bar & cigar room, wine cellar, wellness center, state ballrooms, library and a spa built into the fort’s former dungeon. The sprawling resort retains all the character and gorgeous views of the original location while adding modern creature comforts that make other five star resorts seem run of the mill.
