Our Story
Raht was born from a simple, stubborn question:
What if a stay could feel like a deep breath?
For years, we watched travel become louder, faster, and more crowded. Hotels kept getting bigger, itineraries kept getting busier, and somewhere along the way, the quiet joy of just being in a place started to disappear.
Raht is our answer to that.
We create intimate stays where time slows down, conversations linger, and every moment feels intentional. Raht stands for quiet luxury and slow, meaningful hospitality – the kind that doesn’t shout for attention, but stays with you long after you’ve left.
What “Raht” Means to Us
“Raht” is less a name and more a feeling. It is:
The pause before sunrise when the sky hasn’t decided its colour yet.
The silence in an old courtyard, where stories have been told for generations.
The warmth of a home where you are welcomed as yourself, not as a room number.
For us, Raht is a commitment to create spaces that feel lived-in, honest, and deeply human. Places where luxury is not about excess, but about ease, comfort, and thoughtful details.
Why We Created Raht
Raht is shaped by years of working inside the hospitality world—designing hotels, understanding guests, and seeing what truly moves people.
We learnt that:
Guests remember how a place made them feel, more than how it looked.
The best moments are rarely rushed; they unfold slowly, over chai, sunsets, and unplanned conversations.
True luxury is having the freedom to do less, not more.
So we decided to build a collection of stays that protect these small, precious experiences.
Raht is for people who:
Choose handwritten notes over standard welcome scripts.
Prefer a quiet corner in a sunlit verandah over a crowded lobby.
Want their holidays to heal, not exhaust them.
Our Way of Hospitality
At Raht, everything begins with one question:
“Will this make our guest feel more at home, more at peace, more themselves?”
Our philosophy rests on a few simple pillars:
Quiet Luxury
Soft linens, warm lighting, considered design, and an atmosphere that never overwhelms. We focus on comfort that feels effortless, not performative.
Slow, Meaningful Stays
We design rhythms, not rigid itineraries. Unhurried mornings, long meals, gentle experiences, and enough space in the day to feel where you are.
Intimate by Design
Fewer rooms. Fewer distractions. More attention to you. Our properties are intentionally intimate so that every guest is seen, heard, and cared for.
Rooted in Place
Each Raht property is shaped by its landscape, culture, crafts, and stories. We work with local people, local materials, and local traditions—so your stay feels deeply connected to where you are, not copy-pasted from anywhere else.
Chapter One: Raht Manmatha, Udaipur
Every story needs a first chapter.
For Raht, it begins in Udaipur.
Tucked behind the Bahubali Hills, Raht Manmatha is our first estate—an intimate, fort-style retreat that feels like stepping into a timeless love story. Stone corridors, warm courtyards, candlelit dinners, and spaces that invite you to slow down with the one you love.
Raht Manmatha is where we first brought our philosophy to life:
Fewer rooms, so every stay feels personal.
Curated experiences instead of crowded schedules.
A setting that holds your quiet moments as carefully as your celebrations.
It is not just our first property; it is the heart from which every future Raht will grow.
Where We’re Headed
Raht is a growing collection of intimate stays across India—each one different in architecture and landscape, but united by the same promise: quiet luxury, slow hospitality, and spaces that feel like they were made just for you.
As we add more destinations, we hold on to one simple truth:
Travel doesn’t have to be loud to be unforgettable.
Sometimes, all it takes is a place that lets you breathe a little slower, love a little deeper, and return home a little more yourself.
That is the story of Raht.
And we’re only just beginning.
