The Hill Fort-Kesroli in Alwar is a unique heritage hotel offering an immersive experience in Rajasthani history and culture.

Hill Fort-Kesroli is not just a hotel but a historical gem that saw its golden period under Ranawat Thakur Bhawani Singh. Surrounded by the ancient Aravalli hills, the fort's location is rich in history, tracing back to the Matsya kingdom and the Yaduvanshi kings, descendants of Lord Krishna. The region's vibrant past includes the rule of various Rajput clans and the influential Khanzadas, who left a lasting legacy.

Today, the fort offers 21 rooms and suites, each uniquely designed to blend traditional decor with modern comforts. Guests can enjoy activities like exploring the lush gardens, swimming in the pool, or visiting the nearby Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary and historical sites such as the Neelkanth Temples and Kankwadi Fort. The sanctuary is home to diverse wildlife, including tigers, leopards, and various bird species.

Kesroli's strategic location in the 'golden triangle' of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur makes it an ideal base for exploring nearby attractions, including the Sariska tiger sanctuary, Tijara Fort, Siliserh Lake, and Bhangarh-Ajabgarh. The fort also hosts weddings, conferences, and other events, providing a picturesque backdrop for any occasion.

The Hill Fort-Kesroli, restored and opened to guests in 1998, invites visitors to experience its rich history and serene beauty.
