Le Prince Haveli

Top choice in Rajasthan


The beautifully restored Le Prince Haveli has 14 highly variable, authentically decorated rooms overlooking a tranquil central courtyard. Run as a European homestay, buffet meals (Indian and French cuisine; breakfast ₹200, lunch ₹400, dinner ₹600) are served on the terrace at fixed times. The alfresco bar and pool area make a great oasis and a perfect place to unwind.

There's a 10% discount for two nights, a 20% discount for three nights or more and an additional 20% discount in mid-July to September. Ask about its stable of classic Royal Enfield Bullets for a unique guided tour around the relatively traffic-free roads of Shekhawati.
