Neemrana's Baradari Palace

Earlier this year we enjoyed two nights staying in the Baradari Palace. The hotel appeared to be a bit shabby from the outside, but inside it was impeccably presented and clean. A tasty complimentary afternoon tea was served on both days. Our room was large with an attached bathroom spacious enough to have a bath in the middle. However we assumed the bath was just for looks as the waste water didn’t seem to flow into the drain. There was a shower as well. Although most of the former grounds of the palace have been repurposed as a public park, a buffer of vegetation has been retained round the house that, to some degree, isolates guests from the busy city. To get to our room we had to walk through the restaurant which was somewhat unusual . We had dinner there both nights and were impressed by the quality of food and the attentive hotel staff. The hotel was well off the beaten tourist circuit, and so this perhaps explained why it was less of a non-hotel than other Nemrana properties we had visited; there was a TV in our room, and the hotel offered room service. The Baradari Palace offered a relaxing oasis away from the noise of the city, and a noteworthy level of comfort and service.
