Today 64 rooms make up the part of the palace used as an ultra-luxury hotel. The captivating Mehrangarh Fort stretches high above the city as the imposing focal point, sprawling across the hilltop. Built in 1459, this impenetrable fortress houses beautiful palaces exquisitely decorated with murals and mirror work, as well as a museum of royal artefacts and weaponry gallery.
