WelcomHeritage has added one more property to its existing portfolio – WelcomHeritage Kalyan Bhawan in Jaisalmer. WelcomHeritage Kalyan Bhawan was the former home of the Ruler of Jaisalmer – Maharawal Jawahir Singh ji and was called as ‘Kanwar Pada’, meaning Princes’ Residence in local parlance. It is a centrally located property amidst the walled city of Jaisalmer. The property features 22 exquisite rooms and has been refurbished in the original art deco style to meet the requirements of the modern traveller and caters to both leisure and business travellers who want to enjoy the local flavors of town.
The former haveli was an old mansion with wood beams which had given way with the passage of time and hence many parts had to be pulled down and recreated to make the property contemporary to present day times.
The property is owned by Raj Kumar Dr. Jitendra Singh, the grandson of the Late Maharawal Jawahir Singh ji, who named the property in memory of his grandmother Her Highness Maharani Sahiba Kalyan Kanwar ji who married His Highness Maharawal Jawahir Singh ji in 1917.
The hotel has 22 rooms, is air conditioned, and has a banquet facility for 25, along with a pool and spa.
For a sumptuous culinary experience, guests can choose to dine at nearby WelcomHeritage Mandir Palace’s Roof-Top Restaurant (which offers a panoramic view of the Jaisalmer Fort). The cuisine includes traditional Rajasthani, Indian, Chinese and Continental options. The Live Tandoor at the Roof-Top Restaurant has a special menu and guests can see and smell their order being cooked in the live furnace. Special arrangements like private dining, birthday or anniversary dinners can be organised on request. Guests have a range of dishes to choose from its menu or interact directly with the chefs to customize a special dish to suit their taste buds.
