The 8 Best Hotels near the Ranthambore National Park

Ranthambore National Park, in Rajasthan, has enchanted tourists since the 19th century; a wilderness of jungle and grassland and lakes, and ruined ancient fortresses and temples famed for its Royal Bengal tigers, leopards, sloth bears, exotic birds and much, much more. The best hotels near the Ranthambore National Park offer their own carefully selected expert guides, and many of them reflect Ranthambore's exotic, romantic past, being styled as royal hunting lodges, palaces, or the sort of old world safari camps occupied by the explorers of yesteryear.

For families

Sultan Bagh is perfect for a family outing to Ranthambore National Park, which is just a short drive away. The safari-style luxury en-suite tents give you a feeling of being in the wild, but without the inconvenience (you can expect four-posters and air con!). After a hot safari, relax in the bar while the kids swim in the pool. Perfect for families!

For a walk on the wild side

Khem Villas is run by an environmental activist, who reclaimed the 25 acres of wilderness in which these luxury cottages now stand, all on the edge of Ranthambore National Park. Walking trails weave through lakes, grassland and thick forest teeming with wildlife. Indulge in pure safari luxury in the plunge pool and spa. An oasis of tranquility!

For easy access

Dev Vilas is only 1 km from the entrance to Ranthambore National Park, making it an easy option. It has a touch of the old world, with its traditional Indo-Saracenic style exterior, and the hotel offers daily safari drives through the park. All meals included.

For an authentic feel

Sawai Madhopur Lodge — a former royal hunting lodge — offers an authentic stay set amid 16 acres of verdant grounds. As well as safari-themed rooms and suites in the 1930s Art Deco mansion, you can expect traditional slow-cooked jungle cuisine, a large pool, pampering spa and local musicians to entertain every evening.

For historic opulence

You'll feel like a Maharajah in Nahargarh Ranthambore, a hotel built like a palace and surrounded by an ancient fortress. It's an enchanting historic stay and despite its edge-of-the-wilderness location, you will find gleaming marble floors, chandeliers, mosaic walls and frescoed ceilings. Historic opulence fit for a king!

For luxury glamping

The Oberoi Vanyavilas's luxury tents may just be 10 minutes from Ranthambhore National Park, but it feels a world away. It's an oasis of luxury, featuring swimming pools, plush four poster beds, tennis courts and a pampering spa. An ideal place to relax after a safari tour lead by the hotel's own guides.
Aman-i-Khas is about as stylish as it gets, 10 luxury tented suites on the border of Ranthambore National Park. The resort's expert guides will take you on safaris tiger-spotting and touring ancient ruins in the jungle. And after, you can unwind with Ayurveda spa techniques, dine on gourmet Indian cuisine, and then recline on plush sofas centred around a campfire.
The award-winning, luxury tents of Sher Bagh lie just on the edge of Ranthambore National Park, only 1km away. The hotel is all things safari, offering highly-experienced field guides who will lead you through the overgrown ruins and jungle inhabited by tigers, and return you to your romantic, old world tent for a campfire under a starry sky. Utterly romantic!
