Jodhpur was founded by Rao Jodha in 1459, a Rajput chief of the Rathore clan. The state of Jodhpur was then known as Marwar. Initially Mandore, served as the capital of this state; however, Jodhpur soon took over that role, very much during the lifetime of Rao Jodha. The city got its name from its founder. Jodhpur is now a very popular tourist destination and Jodhpur Hotels deftly host the guests who pour in to the city from different parts of the globe.
Jodhpur was located on the strategic road linking Delhi and Gujarat enabling the flourish of a trade in opium, copper, silk, sandals, date palms and coffee and became a very important stop on the trade map of India; Jodhpur is still a very important centre of trade of locally crafted goods, spices, etc.
The main tourist attraction of Jodhpur is the Mehrengarh Fort which offers a mind blowing view of the city and is one of the best preserved citadels in India. The hotels in Jodhpur India that are closest to the fort are therefore the most commonly chosen and preferred by the tourists. The hotels of Jodhpur are strewn all over the city.
The Jodhpur hotels by and large cater to the need, preference and affordability of a large cross section of tourists. Heritage hotels, deluxe hotels, budget hotels- a large range of hotels both in terms of pocket and preference are available in the city.
However, if you are visiting Jodhpur between October and February- that is the peak season for tourism in all Rajasthan it is advisable to book rooms in advance, though hotels in Jodhpur exist in large numbers all over the city.
