Fort Jadhavgadh is one lifetime experience that you shouldn t miss!
What makes Fort Jadhavgadh epic?
-
With a scenic backdrop and a 300 year old Maratha heritage, Fort Jadhavgadh will leave you completely awestruck! Restored and managed by Sir Vithal Kamath, this majestic property was built by Pilaji Jadhavrao-the Marathi General in Chhattrapati Sahuji s army. This dates back to 18th century! Be it the royal entry by the Mavalas who play the traditional tutari to the impeccable rooms, there is something ineffably mesmerizing about staying at Fort Jadhavgadh, the only Heritage Luxury Fort Hotel in Pune, Maharashtra.
How are the rooms & staff?
-Each room is beautifully decorated with brass vessels, gold-plated vases, paintings and walls adorn monochrome and sepia photographs to give that historic feel. The hotel houses 58 rooms, consisting of three suites, 39 rooms, 12 royal tents and four neem cottages. Like most modern-day hotels, the rooms, suites and tents are equipped with all modern amenities. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and are available 24*7 to solve all your queries or needs. All the rooms of the main fort are spacious and have been uniquely designed to let you gaze up at the stars and feel the cool hill breeze. High speed internet and valet parking is also available at the property!

What about food and dining options?
-Apart from being mesmerized by the interiors of the property, one thing that totally blew our minds was the FOOOOD! The flavors were bang on perfect! There are two in-house restaurants here- Chhajja - The Coffee Shop and Payatha - The Authentic Maharashtrian Foothill Restaurant. Both these restaurants serve some delicious local and world cuisine to suit all guests! We absolutely recommend their Maharashtrian delicacies like Thalipeeth, Puran Poli, Kothimbir Vadi, Gavran Chicken Curry with Bhakri and more. Oh yes! They also have an unlimited buffet spread at Payatha where one can eat to their heart s content! Chajja, on the other hand serves delicious continental dishes. Do not miss the Chicken Club Sandwich and Cappucino here! They are toooo good!
What else can I watch out for?
Fort Jadhavgadh is a complete holiday destination that promises a fresh and exciting experience for all age groups. The hotel offers a wide variety of activities that allow families and friends to participate, bond and spend quality time together. Be it trekking or a visit to the Aai museum-dedicated to mothers, created by Dr. Vithal Kamat by reviving the fort s horse and elephant stable houses, you can do a lot here. Do check out their website to know more about their offerings! One can also explore underground tunnels and the dungeons which are now used to store wine! Isn t that just awesome?

All in all, Fort Jadhavgadh is one staycation experience we just cannot get tired of talking about! It makes you feel connected to your roots and the royal Maratha heritage like no other.
