Sawai Madhopur Lodge, now known as Maharaja's Lodge - IHCL, is the top choice for accommodation in Ranthambore. It exudes an old-world charm. The original rooms with verandas and seating areas have been updated into suite rooms with partitions. There is plenty of open space and a lush green garden. Located at the start of the road, the dining hall and food are highlights of the lodge, with Parul being a fantastic host. Shweta and her team at reception are outstanding. The only downside is the large number of bats in the trees near the newly built two-story rooms.

It was a Royal experience for all of us - friends and family. Stayed there for a night but entire stay from checkin to checkout was just amazing. Location is just perfect, and property itself is beautiful.Loved how they have maintained this. Service was top notch Taj level as always. Mr. Saksham in the restaurant served us well n is gem of a person. Carefully understanding our needs and helping us with these.Highly recommend this place to everyone going to Ranthambore.

All aspects of this property were good.
