About Ran Baas The Palace
It’s hard to believe that Ran Baas The Palace, with its rare frescoes, twinkling chandeliers, and silk carpets, was once merely a guesthouse on the grounds of a royal complex. Punjabi maharajas entertained here in style, and the Indian architect Abha Narain Lambah did right by them in his reimagining of their opulent lodgings for visiting friends and family. Rooms are high-ceilinged and generously sized, even by princely standards, all lined in rich inlaid marble from Rajasthan and furnished with heritage pieces; some have scenic views over the palace gardens, and others feature hand-painted murals. Breakfast is served in the building’s historic art gallery, and the turquoise-tiled courtyard pool, framed by rose-pink archways and tropical greenery, faces a striking view of the estate’s domed 18th-century fortress.
