Fort Jadhavgarh Hotel is group of Orchid Hotel (Vithal Kamat). The fort was constructed in year 1707 by Subhedar Pilajirao Jadhav. This is converted to hotel by Orchid Hotel. It is spread over the area of 17 acres.

The fort gives glimpse of old days. It has fortified gate, inside staircases to mislead enemies, watch tower etc. It also has a museum where personal collection by Vithal Kamat are displayed. The museum is really good.

The rooms are spacious, clean and well maintained, a hallmark of Orchid group of hotels. There are tents and wooden mini bungalows available for stay. It has plenty of parking place.

Food quality is very good and had substantial spread for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner is available at restaurant Paytha. Ala carte menu is available at restaurant called Chhajja.

The fort area has gardens, Ganesh temple, lawn, playing area (cricket, badminton, lagori etc.). It also has a small pond surrounded by greenery.

It also has organic plantation where we saw plants of spinach, chilli, drum sticks, guava, fenugreek, almond, Neem etc. There is a plant nursery where you can buy plants as you wish.

The staff is dressed in typical old Maratha style and is well trained. Guests are welcome by giving welcome drink, Kumkum Tilak and playing Tutari, a Maratha style music instrument.

The hotel is about 28 kms from Pune Railway station and outside city limits. One needs to have own transportation to reach there.

Our stay was very comfortable and we enjoyed every moment of it. Worth visiting this hotel again.
