Hotel Jeet Mahal was constructed in the 18th century by royal architect Jeetmal Bissa in his spare time. It’s been converted into a budget hotel with six rooms by his ancestors. They live next door, so it’s like staying in a family home. The location just outside the Fort gates is very handy, and the hotel’s intricate carved jharokhas (a type of overhanging enclosed balcony) are magnificent. However, the biggest draw card is the food at its restaurant, featuring authentic vegetarian Rajasthani cuisine.
