Guest logistics

- Walled-city access: Narrow old-city lanes — managed drop-off and off-site parking arranged by Elite
- Railway: Jodhpur Junction (JU) — confirm transfer with venue
- Transfers: Airport pickups + inter-function movement arranged by Elite
- Welcome desk: On-property welcome desk + rooming list
- Elderly guests: Closer rooms + assisted arrival through the lanes (request with venue)
- Room block: ~40-key boutique inventory — best as a buyout (~90 in-house); overflow at nearby hotels planned by Elite
- Weather backup: Indoor / covered fallback kept ready for desert wind or off-season chill
Best fit
- ✓ Design-forward, intimate-luxury weddings inside the Blue City
- ✓ Couples who want a full boutique buyout and exclusive use of the property
- ✓ One of the best direct Mehrangarh Fort backdrops in Jodhpur
- ✓ Restored 18th-century havelis, courtyards and a quiet central pool
- ✓ Welcome dinners, mehendi, sangeet, pheras, reception and after-parties at a refined scale
Not ideal if
- – Very large baraats needing 500–1000+ in a single sitting (compact footprint — confirm)
- – Sprawling stage productions — the courtyard footprint is intimate, not a banquet ground
- – Large resident room blocks — the ~40-key inventory fills fast and is best taken as a buyout
Room blocks & partner rates
RAAS Jodhpur is an intimate ~40-key boutique heritage hotel best taken as a full buyout (around 90 in-house guests), so the room block is decisive and fills fast. Elite helps structure the buyout so close family stays on-property, plans vetted nearby-hotel overflow, and keeps rates transparent — final room count and rates confirmed directly with the venue for your dates.
Questions to ask the venue
- Are my dates available, and can a full buyout be held for my wedding week?
- What is the best available buyout rate and room-block term for my dates?
- What are the real per-space capacities — especially the Main Lawn and Spa Terrace?
- How is walled-city vehicle access handled — drop-off point, baraat route and parking?
- What sound, fireworks and late-night permissions apply in the heritage old-city zone?
- Which lawn / terrace / courtyard / indoor combination suits each of my functions?
- How many in-house guests can the ~40 keys hold, and where is overflow best placed?
