The Heritage Story
|
|
For decad es, if not for centuri es, the Rajput fortress, the defensive castle, the composite haveli was home to the nobility where hospitality was a way of life. After independence, things changed and with the abolition of the privy purse in the late sixties, the owners found it difficult to maintain their rambling old properties.
Quite often, the only way left was to convert them into Heritage Hotels.  Initially the practice was not appreciated by some segments of the nobility who frowned at the idea of opening up their homes to casual visitors, however, with the passage of time it became the norm. Each of these palaces has a story to tell and has its own characteristic flavour.
