Set in the serene desert of Rajasthan and by the virtue of being the first heritage hotel of India, the Ajit Bhawan is the pride of the desert city of Jodhpur. The palace was built for Maharaja Ajit Singhji, the brother of Maharaja Umaid Singhji of the erstwhile Jodhpur state. The late Maharaja's family still lives within the premises of Ajit Bhawan but has opened the doors to receive guests from the outside world. It is located near the Circuit House on the Main road, 2 km from the city centre. It is a 10-minute drive away from the airport and the railway station.

Every suite is unique with a distinctive feel of the era gone by. The use of antiquities from various periods and family photographs create an ambiance more suggestive of a private home rather than a hotel room. These suites have luxurious marble bathrooms and all modern amenities. Hidden in the rustic and blossoming landscape, surrounded by lawns, are the unique garden bungalows. Hotel facilities include travel desk, barber shop, courier service, front desk, free newspaper, parking, bar, banquet, restaurant, safe deposit box, conference facilities, luggage storage, swimming pool, barbeque, tennis court, health club, village jeep safari and Laundry among other things.

A unique feature about the Ajit Bhawan Heritage Hotel is its collection of the vintage cars in which guests can enjoy a heritage joyride. The hotel serves exotic rajasthani cuisine as well as Indian and continental. The hotel bar Prince's Bar serves a range of Indian and foreign liquor.

Ajit Bhawan Palace stands as an oasis of hospitality and warm Rajput charm offering a old world elegance with the modern comforts of a classic heritage hotel.
