Taj Hari Mahal, Jodhpur, Rajasthan,

|
A historical
monument. From the 21st century. Perhaps. it's easy to
mistake the Taj Hari Mahal, Jodhpur, for a medieval palace
of a victorious Marwar ruler. Built, as it is, in a style
reminiscent of ancient Mandore. With intricately carved
arches and wide terraces, sun-drenched courtyards and
picturesque jharokhas.
But once
you enter, your initial impression steadily changes. For
the Taj Hari Mahal, masterfully blends elements of yore
with contemporary elegance. So you will find arched corridors
giving way to the most luxurious and comfortable rooms
and suites. Well equipped conference rooms overlooking
marble terraces. Chefs who whip up traditional Marwari
delicacies with as much panache as Continental repasts.
And courteous assistance, not just in terms of making
your stay comfortable. But in making it memorable as well.
That is the Taj Hari Mahal for you. One of the newest
offerings of the Taj Group of Hotels.Want to know more?

A FINE
PLACE TO LOUNGE : A
short drive past the landscaped gardens brings you to
the entrance of the hotel. Where instead of fierce guards
you will be greeted by a smiling durban with characteristic
curled whiskers. As you enter, you can't miss the crossed
swords, daggers and shield - a distinct feature in a Rajput
house.
A
step further, and you are in the grand Lobby. Comfortable
couches surround a sparkling marble fountain. Stop for
a minute to take in the cut glass doorways, scalloped
arches and the Jodhpuri art, which peeks out from various
corners.
A
cosy, secluded place for a tete-a-tete is the Jodhpur
Lounge . An extension of the Lobby. Discuss Jodhpur,
business, the weather or even the latest royal wedding
- all over a cuppa.

LIVING
LIFE KINGSIZE : 93
well appointed rooms, including 3 suites, give you a fine
taste of the grandeur of an earlier era. While also offering
you all the modern amenities including modems and dataports.
Most of the rooms lead out onto a stunning jharokha or
balcony. From where you can command a pleasant view of
the bustling city or the shimmering blue pool.
If
you really want to live like a maharaja, we recommend
the sumptuously decorated suites. With mahogany writing
desks, cosy diwans, traditional Rajasthani art and even
a walk-in closet, the suites are truly an experience in
royal living.
THE
DINING EXPERIENCE : The
Lobby of the Taj Hari Mahal opens out onto a bright, sunny
Courtyard or Chowk - a familiar sight in old Rajasthani
havelis. But here, whispering fountains, swaying palms
and wrought iron furniture lend it an ambience that is
decidedly contemporary. Spend a lazy afternoon here with
a smooth cocktail and a gripping novel.

If
you are looking for a perfect venue to relax and unwind,
try the Verandah Cafe, which has a soothing view
of the pool. It's especially fascinating in the evening,
when the sun casts its final rays on the pool and the
folk musicians and dancers in their colourful finery perform
with aplomb.
Strong,
spicy flavours dominate the traditional Marwari cuisine.
And at the Marwar - you will find all the local
favourites: Jodhpuri Mas (an appetising mutton gravy)
Gatta ki sabza ( a zesty vegetable dish) and more. Along
with choice Continental cuisine. You will discover a similar
tantalising assortment on our well laden Buffet table
as well . The rich mawa ki kachori or the equally sinful
'Bull's Eye' - chocolate truffle with ice cream are unarguably,
the best ways to round off a meal.
Silk
paintings, Oriental masks, red tassels - the mood changes
suddenly, and you are in Good Earth . Our specialty
Chinese restaurant, the only one of its kind in all of
Rajasthan. The hot favourites - but naturally, king Parwns
fried to a golden crisp!
A
rivetting wood carving of the 'Tree of Life' forms the
backdrop of The Bar . However, there's a lot more
than exotic cocktails served here. There's a writing table
- talk about mixing business and pleasure - a card table
and even a chess table.
Tucked
away in a little corner is the Pastry Shop . But
with its appealing array of tarts and truffles, it serves
as an ever present temptation for sinful indulgence.
MIXING
BUSINESS WITH LEISURE : Apart
from being one of the finest leisure hotels in Jodhpur,
the Taj Hari Mahal is also the perfect destination for
the business traveller.

Think
of the Business Centre as an extension of your
office. With three meeting rooms, private workstations
and a host of other services, it can ably take care of
all your work related needs.
For
conferences, we offer you 5 spacious halls with state
of the art audio visual equipment. The largest hall Amar
Mahal , with its ornate columns and aweinspiring chandeliers
can accommodate up to 700 people.
The
Meherangarh Hall can hold 150 people and can even
be divided into two equal sections for smaller conferences,
if necessary. The two smaller halls, Mogra and Gulab,
can comfortably seat between 8 and 12 people. Both open
out onto the large, airy Meherangarh Terrace. Named so,
because of the magnificent view it commands of the Meherangarh
Fort.

a hectic work schedule, the azure blue Swimming Pool
serves as a welcome diversion. The four exquisite jharokhas
surrounding it, add a nice Jodhpuri touch.

fitness Centre. Where you will find a fully equipped
gymnasium, aerobics room, spa, massage rooms as well as
a ladies beauty parlour and gents salon. Other recreation
