Madri Haveli - Authentic Heritage Stay in Udaipur

Built around 300 years ago, Madri Haveli was the town-house of the Maharaj of Madri, a feudatory of the Maharana of Mewar. The haveli served as his city residence when he visited Udaipur for official duties or court appearances. For generations, it remained within the noble family. Later, it fell into disuse before being acquired and carefully restored. The restoration project focused on preserving the original architectural elements like frescoes, jharokhas (balconies), and the central courtyard, while integrating modern amenities for guests. It now operates as a heritage hotel, preserving a piece of Udaipur's aristocratic history.

Madri Haveli's significance lies in its successful preservation and adaptive reuse of a historic structure. It's a tangible piece of Mewar's feudal history, showcasing the architectural style and living arrangements of the regional nobility. Unlike a museum, it offers an immersive experience, allowing visitors to stay within a historic setting. This contributes to Udaipur's reputation as a city with 'living heritage'. Its rooftop restaurant has also become a well-regarded spot for its views, making the haveli a point of interest even for those not staying there.
