Facilities

Ranbanka Palace is a heritage hotel build in 1927 for a Maharajadhira, so you’re on Royal grounds here. The Club rooms are situated around a beautiful old world charm garden with a nice swimming pool. A pity that this compound is now surrounded by an ugly commercial centre, which can be seen from the garden, but the original atmosphere is still there. The rooms compliment the character of the Palace. Breakfast is very good with eggs on demand prepared in front of you. Mehrangarh fort is not to be missed, and the views of the blue city will settle in your memories.
