Why we love it
"A 700-year-old Rajput fort, reborn as tiger country's grandest address"
Fort Barwara is what happens when a serious conservation project meets serious comfort. The Chauhan-built fort holds two palaces and two temples within its walls; its restorers spent over a decade waking it up, with Six Senses now at the helm, and opened in October 2021. Suites start at 753 square feet and climb to a tower-top pool suite named after the Raja who fought in the Second World War. Ranthambhore's tigers are half an hour away, which makes this the plush counterpoint to a safari camp: dawn in the park, back through the gates for a sommelier session in the Viewing Gallery and dinner under the stars at Shikar Burj. The spa alone occupies the original women's palace and both temples.
