Heritage Suite
Heritage Suite
King Bed · Up to 2 Adults + 2 Children · 8 Suites
The Heritage Suite is the haveli's most generous room category, 8 suites, each with a king bed and provision for an extra mattress, making them the natural choice for families or guests who want more room to settle into. Every suite is decorated with original Rajasthani artworks: paintings, textile hangings and craft details sourced from the living traditions of the region rather than from a hotel supply catalogue. The architectural features, fresco ceiling details, jharokha window surrounds and carved woodwork, are present in each suite as elements of the building itself.

Twenty Deluxe Standard Rooms make up the core of Khandela Haveli, each with a king bed, accommodating two adults and one child, fitted with the same Rajasthani artworks and heritage architectural details as the suites. The Deluxe Standard is the room most guests experience here, and it reflects the property's belief that character should be present at every category, not reserved for the premium tier. Free Wi-Fi, television, safety locker and laundry service are all included. The jharokha and fresco elements visible within the room are not decorative additions, they are part of the wall and ceiling structure.

Khandela Haveli's carved wooden gateways, jharokha projecting balconies, fresco-painted facades and sculptured windows with traditional glasswork are original structural features of a restored Rajasthani haveli, not design treatments applied to new construction. This is the distinction that separates the property from the many hotels in Jaipur that reference heritage aesthetics. Guests are inside the architecture, not looking at a version of it through a lobby design brief.
Kathputli, Puppet Theatre in the Haveli
Traditional Rajasthani puppet theatre, kathputli, is one of the oldest performance forms in India, and Khandela Haveli stages live shows for guests as part of the cultural programme. Watching a kathputli performance inside an authentic haveli courtyard, rather than as a tourist attraction separated from any real context, is an experience that is specific to this kind of property. It is one of the reasons guests who stay here remember the visit in a way that a conventional hotel stay rarely produces.
Rooftop with Jaipur's Skyline
The rooftop restaurant at Khandela Haveli is the highest-use space in the property for a reason. Jaipur's roofscape, the layered fort walls, temple shikhara and palace domes, is best seen at the height of a haveli terrace. The restaurant serves Indian and international cuisine through the day, transitions into live music evenings after dark and provides the setting for puppet theatre shows. The bar, which stocks cocktails, spirits and single malts, keeps the terrace occupied well into the evening across seasons.
Swimming Pool & Photo Shoot Facilities
A swimming pool within a heritage haveli is genuinely unusual, most properties of this type make a choice between architectural purity and leisure amenities. Khandela Haveli has both, and the pool makes it viable for leisure travellers who want character in their accommodation without giving up the option to swim. The property also offers photo and movie shoot facilities: the combination of authentic Rajasthani architectural backdrops, gateways, balconies, courtyard, fresco ceilings, makes it a location that production and photography teams return to repeatedly.

The Haveli Rooftop
The rooftop at Khandela Haveli is the point where the property's dining, cultural and leisure functions converge. Breakfast is served here each morning with the early light falling across Jaipur's roofscape. Lunch runs through the day on a menu spanning Indian regional dishes alongside Continental options, the kitchen covers both with equal competence. Dinner is where the rooftop shows its character most fully: live music is a regular feature, and the traditional Rajasthani puppet theatre performances, kathputli, are staged here for guests.
The bar, which occupies the same terrace, stocks a well-considered range: cocktails, domestic and international spirits, and single malts for guests who want to extend the evening past the final course. Walk-in diners from outside the hotel are welcome at all services, and the rooftop's combination of food, performance and views has made it a known destination among Jaipur visitors staying elsewhere in the city.

Khandela Haveli's architecture is not decorative context for a hotel stay, the building itself is the reason to come. Four defining features of a Rajasthani haveli, all present and intact.
Architectural Character
Built by Hand. Centuries in the Making.
Rajasthani havelis were built by merchant and noble families as statements of prosperity, craft and regional identity. The architecture was highly specific: carved wooden gateways to mark the threshold between public street and private world; jharokha balconies projecting outward from upper floors to let residents observe the street without descending into it; frescos painted across exterior facades and interior ceilings as continuous visual narratives; sculptured windows set with coloured glass that turns direct sunlight into coloured patterns across interior walls.
Khandela Haveli carries all four of these architectural features as intact original elements of the building. The restoration work has maintained rather than replaced, the carved woodwork is the original, the frescos are preserved rather than replicated, and the jharokhas still function as they were intended, providing views of the streetscape below from positions that give guests an entirely different experience of a Jaipur neighbourhood compared to a ground-floor hotel room or a modern upper-floor window.
Gateway
Carved wooden entrance gateway, the traditional haveli threshold
Jharokha
Projecting balconies with glasswork, overlooking street and courtyard
Frescos
Painted facades and ceilings, continuous decorative narratives
Glasswork
Sculptured windows with coloured glass, turning light into pattern
Khandela Haveli's Jaipur address puts the Pink City's most celebrated monuments, bazaars and cultural sites within easy reach, each one a short journey by auto-rickshaw or car.
