Chandelaogarh- an age old preserved heritage
The family & their Story
Chandelaogarh is more than a heritage hotel. It is a family home that has witnessed generations of Rajasthan’s history.
Its courtyards, architecture and old walls carry the story of the family, but what keeps that heritage alive is the family’s continuing relationship with the village and community around them.
Here, preservation is not about freezing the past. It is about giving heritage a meaningful place in the present.
The Stay
Historic architecture, peaceful courtyards and traditional spaces have been thoughtfully adapted for contemporary comfort while retaining the character of the ancestral home.
