The Rajbari Bawali

Rajbari Bawali ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ A beautiful Heritage property restored and reused, it's gates thrown open to one and all to come and savour it's gorgeousness as a beautiful Heritage Resort...but not just that... it takes you back in time...to a hospitality where you feel almost like you are visiting a relative, where you are looked after with care and courtesy, where a " wing ***" , a designated staff member, gives you his number and says he will be there to address any requirements...where the "shandhya aroti" followed by the restoration video is a ritual one looks forward to...and the evenings are a play of light and shade... Rajbari Bawali...less than 2 hours from the city takes you to a world of nostalgia with all the contemporary comforts. The "kochulata with chingri" and the "kasha mangsho" are gourmet delicacies you cannot miss, neither can you miss their " ghare paata doi" and cakes...and the "narus " that are served when they bid goodbye... I took the autoride to the village and got to meet Mr Samar Mandal one of the family members who originally owned the Rajbaari. What a fascinating journey of the family... From Basudev Ram who first arrived from Rajasthan to acquiring the title Mandal or landowners, Mr Mandal takes you through time and paints a picture of what used to be... No less fascinating was the auto driver who doubles as a DJ and goes by the name "DJ AK Remix Bawali se"... A self taught DJ who can take lessons on the art of mixing music on his cell phone A meeting point of the past and the present. And to Ajay Rawla who had the foresight to convert this beautiful mansion from ruins to finery and run it as one of Bengal's first Heritage Tourist Resorts, he certainly paved the way ! Everytime I visit I find something new, something improved. If only we could convert the whole of Bengal this way. Afterall every nook and corner of Bengal has these Rajbaris, Rashmanchas, and Temple zones... Hopefully more people will come forward to take charge of these beautiful structures and Restore and Reuse our commonly inherited legacies

Had a wonderful stay at this heritage property! Mr. Ajay Rawla's vision has so much life in it, that you get immersed completely. The services provided by Mr. Subhajit Chowdhury and his brilliant team is absolutely impeccable. Thank you so much team Rajbari Bawali for a comfortable, meaningful and art-infused stay!

We spent 7 nights at Rajbari Bawali during Pujo 2024 @ Rajbari Bawali.. It was a great experience and hospitality. Everything was so well managed- From Pujo rituals, to the cultural programs, lovely food and dhunuchi dance. Everyone was very welcoming and special call out to Subhajit Choudhury, who went extra miles to make our stay super comfortable. Thank You Subhajit. Keep up your good work.

Every time I stay in this property I am enchanted. This heritage palace was tastefully restored and furnished. Among the 3 Royal suites with their sumptuous beds and antique furnitures, my favourite is the Indigo suite. My bed was very soft. All the employers of the hotel are very nice and good looking. I appreciated among others the service of Mr Swarup (supervisor restaurant), Mr Bilash (supervisor restaurant), Mr Imtiaz (steward) who were perfect, nice and helpful, and I can't mention many others who were like angels. The food is excellent, really outstanding. I appreciate also the fact that there is no TV. The swimming pool is extremely nice. I highly recommend this place.

Oh my gosh this hotel is out of this world! Ten out of ten old calcutta reimagined with such class. Beautiful and stylish with great amenities. A nice isolated location with great food also. If you want to chill this is the place for a wonderful three days stay. Special thanks to Swapdip who looked after us personally. Like our own personal PA. We stayed in the best suite they had. Great for honeymoon this place is. Book it! Trust me you will not regret it!

Me & my husband booked the Royal Heritage suit for my birthday and later upgraded it to Zamindari suit. Had a great time there enjoying the beautiful scenic views, rich cultural food and warm hospitality by the staff especially Mr. Subhojit has been very helpful. My pet kitten also had an amazing time there.
