Connaught House, Lake Awasa

Once the summer residence of the prime minister of the princely state of Marwar, Connaught House, a modest yet charming colonial style cottage, is set among a mature garden and is only a short walk away from the town of Mount Abu. Each of the 10 rooms is simply furnished and tastefully decorated in neutral colours. Facilities include a dining room that serves Indian as well as international cuisine, and a small gymnasium.
