'After the bedlam, the ambling cows and honking auto-rickshaws of the lanes, you are first struck by the absolute peace and quiet inside the compound, then by a cluster of restored palace buildings, the swimming pool and the high-spec minimalist architecture. When you glance up, there, towering above you is the rocky escarpment and walls of Mehrangarh Fort, filling the whole view.'
'No contest- this is the most spectacular view from any hotel in India, maybe actually the world. You stare and gasp. Guests lounging by the pool, in the restaurant, drinking on the terrace, soon develop cricked necks from gawping at it.'
'It is impossible to overstate the ambition of Raas. Inserting a state-of-the-art boutique hotel into the labyrinth of old Jodhpur. Electirc supply, solar power, plasma TV's, power plumbing and wi-fi, massage tables for the spa- all have been trundled by bullock cart through the lanes'.
