Ahilya Fort, located in the picturesque town of Maheshwar in central India, is a brand that offers a unique and enchanting experience. Perched high above the sacred river Narmada, this historic fort was once ruled by Maharani Ahilyabai Holkar from 1765 to 1796. Within the fort, she built Ahilya Wada, a collection of personal residences, offices, and an exquisite darbaar audience hall.

Today, Ahilya Fort has been transformed into a luxurious guest residence known as Ahilya Fort Hotel. The hotel boasts 19 character-filled rooms spread across six 18th-century buildings, offering modern amenities and comforts. Guests can explore the expansive property, which includes 3 acres of courtyards, fountains, and gardens, perfect for finding a secluded spot to relax with a book or enjoy the beauty of nature.

Dining at Ahilya Fort is a delight, as guests get to experience the culinary creations of Prince Richard Holkar, who personally curates the fixed menu each day. Drawing inspiration from his renowned cookbook, Cooking of the Maharajas, the dishes are a combination of regional specialties and international flavors, all served in various surprise locations throughout the fort. The hotel's gardens, designed by Prince Richard himself, contribute to the serene ambiance of the property.

Guests can stroll through the organic bageecha, where fresh seasonal salads, vegetables, and herbs are grown, or relax by the inviting pool surrounded by lemon trees and enjoy a soothing nimadi massage. Ahilya Fort's impeccable hospitality and attention to detail have garnered rave reviews from delighted guests. From the warm and gracious service to the captivating history and extraordinary beauty, a stay at Ahilya Fort is an unforgettable experience that truly captures the essence of India's rich heritage
