Heritage Hotel Fort Chanwa of Luni is an exceptional example of elegance and symmetry in Indian architecture of the last century. The entire fortress is carved out of the famous red sandstone of Jodhpur and with its ornately carved lattice work friezes and intricate "Jharokas", it exquisitely captures the romance and grace of a bygone age. The fort is composed of a lyrical complex of courtyards towers, water, wheels, stables, passages and unexpected stairways to secret pavilions and panoramic roof tops spanning the village below and the Thar horizon beyond. The traditional paintings on the walls harmoniously reflect the skill of the master craftsmen and the bygone days. The village of Luni nestles in the shadow of the Fort walls and is a hub of activity with its many artisans fashioning metal, clay or wood into intricate forms and demonstrating the skills passed down over the centuries by their ancestors.

The village elders solemnly reflect the changing times under shady trees, while the children enjoy running around narrow carefree streets. The women, swaying in their brilliant Rajasthani colours go about their daily chores to give water and sustenance to the village. The Fort has been beautifully restored to its former glory by its owners Maharaj Dalip Singhji, ( The youngest son H.H Maharaja Umaid Singhji) and his wife Rani Madhu. Each room has been created and decorated with its own particular charm and the many courtyards, verandahs and gardens all offer a setting and ambiance set to capture your heart.

Fort chanwa's courtyards are peaceful havens where guests can unwind for the day and spend the afternoons leisurely reading or relaxing in the sun. There is a beautiful pool to cool off fatigue and refresh oneself. The fort has a bar which is well-stocked to suit different tastes and an evening bazaar to pick up gifts and nick-nacks. The family takes pleasure in organizing gala lunches and Dinners (upto 150 Pax) with traditional or made to order menu. The guests can enjoy their meals as well as witness local dances at the same time and get the true taste of Indian hospitality and culture.
