Heritage Hotel Fort Chanwa, Luni has been beautifully
restored to its former glory by its owners Maharaj
Dalip Singhji, ( The youngest son H.H Maharaja Umaid
Singhji Jodhpur) and his wife Rani Madhu. Each room
has been created and decorated with its own particular
charm and the many courtyards, verandahs and gardens
all offer a setting and ambiance set to capture your
heart.
Heritage Hotel Fort Chanwa of Luni is an exceptional
example of elegance and symmetry in Indian
architecture of the last century. The entire fortress
is carved out of the famous red sandstone of Jodhpur
and with its ornately carved lattice work friezes and
intricate “Jharokas”, it exquisitely captures the
romance and grace of a bygone age. The fort is
composed of a lyrical complex of courtyards towers,
water, wheels, stables, passages and unexpected
stairways to secret pavilions and panoramic roof tops
spanning the village below and the Thar horizon
beyond. The traditional paintings on the walls
harmoniously reflect the skill of the master craftsmen
and the bygone days. The village of Luni nestles in
the shadow of the Fort walls and is a hub of activity
with its many artisans fashioning metal, clay or wood
into intricate forms and demonstrating the skills
passed down over the centuries by their ancestors.
