In the historic town of Amer, just beyond the bustle of Jaipur, stands a 200-year-old haveli with a story deeply connected to the royal heritage of Rajasthan.
Once the residence of the Bakshi of the Jaipur royal family, the haveli was a part of the world that surrounded the royal court of Jaipur. The legacy of Bakshi Ji, remembered as the Treasurer and Commander of the Jaipur Darbar, remains an important part of House of Amer’s identity. HoA Heritage and cultural .pdf
Over time, this historic family home was transformed into House of Amer, a boutique property created to give travellers an opportunity to experience Rajasthan from within its heritage rather than simply visit it as a destination.
The transformation was guided by a simple idea: preserve the character of the old haveli while creating a warm and comfortable place for modern travellers.
Today, House of Amer attracts guests from across the world. In its very first year of operation, the property had the honour of hosting guests from the Embassies of the United States and Russia, marking an early chapter in its journey as a distinctive boutique stay in Amer.
A Family-Run House
Despite its transformation into a boutique property, House of Amer has remained family operated.
This is at the heart of the experience. Guests are not simply staying in a heritage building; they are welcomed into a home where hospitality is personal, unhurried and connected to the people who have cared for the property.
The aim has always been to retain the intimacy of a traditional Rajasthani home while offering the comfort expected by travellers from around the world.
Food That Remains Connected to Rajasthan
Food is an important part of the House of Amer experience.
Rather than treating cuisine simply as another hotel service, the property focuses on fresh, authentic food, inspired by the flavours and traditions of Rajasthan.
The emphasis is on food that feels local and genuine — prepared with care and served with the warmth that comes naturally in a family home.
Living the Culture of Amer
House of Amer is surrounded by the history and living traditions of Amer. Its heritage experiences take guests beyond the well-known monuments and into the cultural landscape of the town, including ancient temples, historic sites, local stories, village traditions and interactions with the community.

This philosophy is at the centre of what House of Amer represents: a connection between heritage and contemporary hospitality.
The property does not seek to turn Rajasthan into a display for visitors. Instead, it offers travellers an opportunity to experience its culture through its food, stories, architecture, traditions and people.
Preserving a Legacy, Welcoming the World
From a 200-year-old haveli associated with the royal household of Jaipur to a boutique property welcoming travellers from across the globe, the journey of House of Amer is one of transformation without losing its roots.
The walls may now welcome international travellers, but the spirit remains that of a Rajasthani home — family operated, deeply connected to Amer, and committed to preserving the warmth, flavours and traditions of Rajasthan.
House of Amer is not simply a place to stay. It is a piece of Amer’s heritage, opened to the world.
