Jodhpur offers one of India’s most distinctive hotel scenes, with heritage havelis converted into atmospheric guesthouses, a genuine royal palace you can sleep in, and rooftop restaurants where breakfast comes with a view of Mehrangarh Fort. Whether you want to stay inside a 350-year-old blue house in the old city or in a modern luxury hotel with a pool, Jodhpur has options from Rs 400 to Rs 40,000 per night. Here is our area-by-area guide to Jodhpur neighborhoods and the best hotels in each. Check our events and festivals in Jodhpur for detailed information.
Where to Stay in Jodhpur: The Old City (Brahmapuri and Clock Tower)
The old city is where most visitors want to stay, and for good reason: rooftop views of Mehrangarh Fort, blue-washed lanes outside your door, and the atmospheric chaos of Sardar Market a short walk away. Accommodation is concentrated in heritage havelis , centuries-old courtyard mansions converted into atmospheric hotels. Rooms in the old city tend to be smaller and simpler than in the new city, and many properties lack lifts (expect to climb stairs). The trade-off for authenticity is worth it for most travellers. Streets are too narrow for cars, so you will walk or take an auto-rickshaw from the nearest drop-off point. For more details, see our Jodhpur weather by month.

Where to Stay in Jodhpur: Ratanada and Palace Road
Ratanada is Jodhpur’s most upscale neighbourhood, home to Umaid Bhawan Palace and the city’s luxury hotels.

This area suits travellers who want a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring. For more details, see our best time to visit Jodhpur.
