Alila Fort Bishangarh

  Alila Bishangarh by Hyatt                   

        The original fort is left intact, with much care given to ecological restoration and the
reconstruction of new residential areas, to recreate the courtly flavour of Shahpura’s
royalty. The grandeur is felt in its stark and inherent simplicity that has withstood the
test of time through its fortification.   

     Perhaps the only warrior fort that has been
converted into a heritage resort, Alila Fort Bishangarh is a unique example of the Jaipur
Gharana architecture influenced by both the Mughals and the British. 

   The two-metre thick ancient walls around the fort have openings for firearms and turrets (known as
burjs) as battlements. A completely new structure is created above and outside the old
fort to house five different styles of royal suites and the lavish public areas. As befitting
its royal heritage, Alila Fort Bishangarh has its own holdings, which includes the charming
Bishangarh village and its havelis (mansions).
