Overview & Setting
Indana Palace Jodhpur is a five-star, palace-style hotel in the Shikargarh area on the southern edge of the city, close to Jodhpur Airport. It is built in the Rajput-Marwari idiom that defines the city's architecture — carved sandstone facades, arched verandahs, jharokhas and inner courtyards — but as a purpose-built modern hotel rather than a converted royal residence. The property carries 88 rooms and suites, set around landscaped lawns of roughly 40,000 sq ft, and is one of the larger banqueting venues in Jodhpur.
The result is a hotel that reads as grand and ceremonial while still functioning as a practical, well-serviced 5-star base. It suits travellers who want the look and feel of a Jodhpur palace without the price or the distance of the heritage palaces in the old city.
Location & Getting There
Indana Palace sits in Shikargarh, about 3 km from Jodhpur Airport — a short 10-minute transfer, which makes it one of the most convenient luxury arrivals in the city. The walled old city, with the Clock Tower and Sardar Market, is around 8–9 km north, roughly 20–30 minutes by road depending on traffic. Jodhpur Junction railway station is a similar distance. Mehrangarh Fort and Jaswant Thada, the two landmarks most visitors come for, are about 9 km away. Because the hotel is on the airport side of town, it is a sensible choice for short stays, early flights and travellers continuing on to Jaisalmer or Udaipur by road.
Rooms & Suites
Accommodation is graded from Executive Rooms of around 364 sq ft up through Premium Rooms, Junior Suites and a set of eight larger Suites of roughly 700 sq ft, topped by a Presidential Suite. Interiors lean traditional, with rich fabrics, dark wood and Rajasthani detailing, while bathrooms and in-room technology are contemporary. Many rooms look onto the pool, lawns or landscaped gardens. The suites add separate sitting rooms and are popular with families and with wedding parties using the hotel.
Dining
The hotel runs several outlets. Anghiti focuses on North Indian and Mughlai cooking, while Lotus Cafe is the all-day multi-cuisine restaurant for buffets and a la carte meals. I Bar is the bar and lounge, and The Courtyard offers open-air dining that works well for the cooler months and for private functions. Rajasthani specialities such as laal maas and dal-baati-churma feature alongside Indian, Asian and Continental options.
Amenities, Spa & Pool
Leisure facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, a health club and the Zodiac Spa, which offers massages and wellness therapies aimed at de-stressing after a day of sightseeing or travel. The hotel's banqueting is a defining feature: a pillarless hall of around 10,000 sq ft plus the large landscaped lawns make it one of the city's busier venues for weddings and conferences. There is a business centre, complimentary Wi-Fi, room service and a travel desk that can arrange Bishnoi village and desert safaris.
Experiences & Things to Do Nearby
Jodhpur's headline sights are an easy drive away. Mehrangarh Fort, rising on its rock above the blue old town, is the essential half-day, with its palace museum and ramparts. Nearby Jaswant Thada is the marble cenotaph of the Jodhpur royals, and Umaid Bhawan Palace, about 6 km away, can be visited for its museum and grounds. The Clock Tower and Sardar Market are the heart of the old blue city for shopping and street food. Further out, Mandore Gardens and the Bishnoi villages offer rural Rajasthan and wildlife such as blackbuck and chinkara; the hotel's travel desk arranges village and camel safaris.
Who It's Best For
Indana Palace suits leisure travellers who want a palace atmosphere at a more accessible price than the heritage hotels, families who value space and a pool, and anyone with an early or late flight given the short airport hop. Its large banquet capacity also makes it a leading choice for destination weddings and corporate events in Jodhpur.
