There are several room types to choose from: 38 Renaissance Rooms, 7 Heritage Rooms and 3 Suites.

Heritage Rooms have large windows with a two-sided view, whereas Renaissance Rooms have just a single view of the hills to the east or west. Two of the Suites have private plunge pools and one has a jacuzzi. Fateh Garh must really be considered good value for money as the Heritage Rooms and Suites don’t attract a huge premium considering the added benefits.

Renaissance Rooms open onto the lower or upper level of a large white marble courtyard, peaceful and cool and facing out to the restaurant and upper pool terrace. Suites are the best choice for those with kids as they have a little outdoor space.

Many of the rooms have fantastic, painted, antique doorways reclaimed from a palace in Madhya Pradesh. All rooms have simple padlock and bolt doors, not electronic keys, which is a nice touch adding to the traditional feel.

Inside, rooms are all of a good size with more white marble and high ceilings, but the rooms are not airy so rely on a/c to keep you cool at night. There are some nice touches to the rooms, we especially loved the classical, hand-painted walls and the tray of green oranges!

Cleaning, linen and furnishings are of a high standard, as you would expect of a hotel like Fateh Garh. All rooms have flat screen TVs with plenty of channels plus the usual mod-cons, though we felt our TV was oddly positioned and the mini-bar was strangely under-stocked. Having said that, one probably wouldn’t drink indoors when there is such a glorious view to appreciate outside.
