Vivaana Culture Hotel  

In Mandawa, in Rajasthan’s Shekhawati “open art gallery,” this boutique heritage hotel sits a short drive from Mandawa Square and Mandawa Fort. It’s a family-friendly stay in the Mandawa/Jhunjhunu area with easy access to local havelis and temples.

Housed in a lovingly restored 150‑year‑old twin haveli, the hotel is layered with original frescos, period furniture and rare artifacts. Rooms are air‑conditioned and distinct, many with private balconies and fireplaces, and some feature separate bathtubs and showers—all paired with modern conveniences like in‑room safes and complimentary Wi‑Fi.

Lounge by the pool (indoor and outdoor options), unwind at the spa and sauna, or sing the night away in the karaoke room. There are bicycles to rent, table tennis, a library, picnic and BBQ areas, babysitting and wedding services, plus concierge and valet parking—wake up to courtyard frescoes and poolside breezes.

The hotel offers a business center, meeting room and conference space for events, along with complimentary newspapers, dry cleaning and laundry services. A roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge and free valet parking is provided onsite.

Dine at the on‑site restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a complimentary buffet breakfast served daily from 7–10 AM and limited‑hour room service available. Sip fine Indian teas or a royal martini at the bar, and enjoy evenings that can include local storytelling and puppet shows.
