About Amarsar
The Space & Its Character
Amarsar is an event venue set within Alila Fort Bishangarh, a centuries-old fortified property perched on a rocky hilltop approximately 55 kilometres from Jaipur in Rajasthan. The fort itself dates back around 230 years and has been sensitively restored by Alila Hotels to preserve its original sandstone architecture while introducing contemporary luxury. Amarsar takes its name and character directly from this heritage setting — raw stone walls, arched passageways, and sweeping panoramic views of the Aravalli hills form the natural backdrop, creating an atmosphere that is difficult to replicate in a purpose-built banquet hall. The aesthetic sits at the intersection of Rajput grandeur and understated modern refinement: grand in scale, yet intimate in detail.
The venue benefits from the fort's dramatic elevated position, which means natural light, open skies, and unobstructed views are defining features throughout the day. As the sun sets over the Aravalli landscape, the warm sandstone surfaces take on a golden hue that requires little additional embellishment, making Amarsar a particularly compelling choice for events where the setting itself is expected to do meaningful work.
Events & Occasions
Amarsar is suited to a range of milestone celebrations and private gatherings, with weddings — both Indian and destination — forming a natural centrepiece of its programming. The fort environment lends itself to multi-day wedding ceremonies, from morning rituals conducted in natural light to candlelit evening receptions under the Rajasthan sky. The venue can be configured for pheras, cocktail evenings, mehendi functions, and formal banquets, giving wedding planners the flexibility to use the space across a full celebration programme.
Beyond weddings, Amarsar accommodates corporate retreats, incentive travel events, and private celebrations where an exceptional setting is the primary brief. The fort's relative seclusion — set away from the urban density of Jaipur — makes it a strong choice for groups seeking privacy and full immersion in the property, rather than a conventional hotel ballroom experience. Alila Fort Bishangarh also offers the option to book the entire property exclusively, which suits high-profile events where guest experience and privacy are paramount.
Location & Accessibility
Bishangarh village sits in the Sikar district of Rajasthan, approximately 55 kilometres north of Jaipur city. Jaipur International Airport is the nearest major air gateway, making the property accessible to guests flying in from Delhi, Mumbai, and other major Indian cities, as well as international travellers connecting through major hubs. The drive from Jaipur takes guests through the distinctive landscape of rural Rajasthan, with the fort becoming visible on the hilltop well before arrival — an approach that sets the tone for the event experience from the moment guests leave the city.
The property's position outside Jaipur is a deliberate advantage rather than a logistical compromise: it ensures that events at Amarsar unfold without the interruptions and ambient noise of a busy urban address. For guests requiring overnight accommodation, Alila Fort Bishangarh has guest rooms and suites housed within the restored fort structure itself, allowing event guests to remain on-property across a multi-day programme.

Most heritage hotel properties of this category offer customisable menus covering both Indian and international cuisine.
The fort's sandstone architecture and panoramic Aravalli views provide an inherently atmospheric base, reducing the need for heavy structural décor. The events team at Alila Fort Bishangarh can advise on approved décor arrangements and preferred vendor partners for florals, lighting, and themed setups. Specific décor guidelines and any restrictions on installation within the heritage structure should be clarified during the planning process.
Whether standard AV equipment is provided in-house or arranged through specialist vendors will depend on the nature and scale of the event.

The property's location away from Jaipur's urban centre means events unfold without city noise, traffic, or the interruptions typical of a busy hotel district. This seclusion creates a genuinely immersive environment for guests, particularly for multi-day weddings or corporate retreats where full focus on the programme is important. The fort's hilltop position reinforces this sense of privacy and arrival, making the journey itself part of the guest experience.
The fort dates back approximately 230 years and was sensitively restored by Alila Hotels to retain its original Rajput sandstone architecture while incorporating contemporary luxury. The restoration approach preserved features such as arched passageways and fort ramparts, which now form an integral part of the event environment at Amarsar. The result is a setting that feels authentically historical rather than a modern reconstruction.
Enquiries for events at Amarsar can be directed to the events team at Alila Fort Bishangarh through the official Alila Hotels website at alilahotels.com/fortbishangarh. The team will typically require details such as the event date, type of function, estimated guest count, and any specific requirements before providing a proposal. Early outreach is recommended, particularly for peak wedding season dates in Rajasthan.
While weddings are a natural fit for the fort setting, Amarsar and the broader Alila Fort Bishangarh property are also well suited to corporate retreats and incentive travel programmes where a distinctive, immersive setting is the goal. The privacy and seclusion of the hilltop location make it an appealing alternative to conventional conference hotels for groups seeking a more memorable experience. Event planners should discuss specific meeting or conference requirements with the property to explore what configurations are possible.
