One of the first group of properties promoting heritage in India, the Ajit Hotels are an oasis of Rajasthan hospitality. The designs and the ambience of the properties reflect the vision of Maharaj Swaroop Singh Ji, and his wife Rani Usha. Rawla Narlai is one of the properties of Ajit Group. In the heart of a small traditional town, the Rawla Narlai lies in the shadow of Elephant Hill, a massive granite monolith. The area was once a private hunting reserve for the Maharajahs of Jodhpur. This upscale heritage hotel, set in the Aravalli Hills, is 6 km from Desuri and 33 km from the village of Ranakpur.
Heritage properties hold economic and cultural importance. Fire is one of the greatest threats to heritage buildings, not only to the building’s occupants but also to the building’s fabric and contents. Heritage buildings are irreplaceable and vulnerable to fire as there is a combination of several factors: flammable priceless contents; large numbers of visitors; and existing structures weak on fire resistance. The materials and design of heritage buildings can increase the expected rate of fire growth and spread. Fire incidents not only result in financial losses but also the priceless heritage hotel’s architecture. They can also severely damage the hotel’s reputation. At the same time, the hotel owners were reluctant to compromise on their guests’ comfort.
