Lonely Planet Review

Ajit Bhawan is the pick of Jodhpur. It's set well back from dusty Airport Rd in splendidly kept gardens, and behind the gracious main heritage building there is a series of stone cottages with dark wood furnishings. There's a world-class restaurant, sensational swimming pool, (nonguests are charged a small entry fee) and gift shop. Other services include a wonderful collection of vintage cars that you can rent, such as a 1939 Chevrolet convertible.
