Clean first, always
Housekeeping is the one thing we never economise on. Every room is inspected before a key is handed over.
Since 1948
A hotel run by a family, not a chain
The same corner of Mount Abu since 1948, doing the ordinary things carefully.
Our Story
Rajasthan's only hill station, and our corner of it
Mount Abu sits at 1,220 metres in the Aravallis — green when the rest of Rajasthan is dust, cool when Ahmedabad is 44 degrees, and small enough that you can walk from the lake to the market in ten minutes.
We opened in 1948, in a building chosen for one reason: it faces the Polo Ground, which means every upper floor sees over the town to the hills beyond, and nothing will ever be built to block it.
Today there are 55 rooms across 5 categories, the vegetarian Hollywood & Bollywood restaurant, an open terrace people sit on until the light goes, and a front desk that is awake whatever time the bus from Ahmedabad gets in.
What has not changed is who runs the desk. Ask for a recommendation and you will get an honest one, including which sunset point is too crowded on a Saturday.
