The Kanota Group of Hotels is a family-run organization of three Heritage Hotels. Th. Man Singh Kanota along with his brother Th. Prithvi Singh Kanota and their sons Kunwar Pratap Singh Kanota & Kunwar Mormukut Rathore Kanota oversee the operations of Narain Niwas Palace, Castle Kanota, and Rajmahal Palace. Each property has a unique character in terms of architecture, history, and experiences offered to the guests.
The Narain Niwas Palace is 3kms from the walled city, set on 10 acres the palace is an oasis of tranquillity in the heart of Jaipur. It was completed in 1928 by General Amar Singh of Kanota, the commander in chief of the Jaipur Maharaja's army and first among Indians to serve in the WW1 as an officer in the British Army. The palace has 45 rooms and includes, three resto-bars, high-end boutique shops by Indie designers, and a spa.
Castle Kanota was used as the country seat of the aristocrats of Kanota, the fortress was completed in 1874. 15 km from Jaipur, the castle's 23 rooms, is ideal for tourists looking for a quiet but readily accessible retreat from the city. The castle is worth visiting itself for the Family Museum and the Library of Gen Amar Singh, containing 3000 books, maps, WW1 morabilia, maps, photographs, and 89 personal diary volumes (1898-1942) holding the record for the longest diary in English. It is also the current residence of the Kanota Family.
The beauty of Rajmahal Palace has been recorded in Tod's annnals and antiquities of Rajasthan. Set on the Banks of the Banas River, the palace was built by the maharaja of Jaipur in 1798 for his favorite wife. Nearly a century later, Th Man Singh and Prithvi Singh's ancestors were awarded the property for their service to the king. The 14 room palace with orchards and ancient temples on the Banks of the river is ideal for the romantic traveler.
Great place to stay in Jaipur if you are looking for a centrally located hotel that has historical character. The rooms were very nice & the staff were very hospitable! Would definitely recommend this hotel to travellers & tourists, if you want to experience Royal living. The food served by room service was also very good.
