WelcomHeritage Connaught House Mount Abu, Rajendra Road, Sani Gaon, Mount Abu, Rajasthan, India
Originally built as a summer retreat for British colonial officers in the 19th century, WelcomHeritage Connaught House carries that rare quality of a property that has been preserved rather than merely renovated. Perched on a wooded hillside in Sani Gaon, this heritage bungalow is one of Mount Abu's most intimate private venues — a 25-guest maximum that is not a limitation but a deliberate design, making it one of very few properties in Rajasthan that can offer a genuinely exclusive-use, closed-door event experience for a small group.
The property's architecture is its primary event asset. High-ceilinged colonial rooms, a wide wraparound veranda, and manicured lawns combine to give planners three distinct spatial registers — enclosed interiors for formal dining or seated conferencing, the veranda for relaxed pre-function gatherings, and the garden for open-air cocktail or ceremonial setups. For small-group corporate retreats and leadership offsites, the configuration supports theatre-style seating for up to 20 and hollow-square boardroom arrangements for 12 to 14 delegates. The Aravalli tree line running along the property boundary provides natural enclosure, meaning no staging or artificial backdrop is required for outdoor setups.
WelcomHeritage Connaught House serves two event profiles particularly well. For intimate weddings and milestone social celebrations — anniversaries, vow renewals, milestone birthdays — the colonial bungalow aesthetic delivers a level of visual authenticity that purpose-built banquet halls in Mount Abu cannot replicate; décor requirements are minimal because the architecture does the heavy lifting. For corporate retreats and MICE bookings, the exclusivity of a single-group, full-property takeover removes the distraction that shared hotel event floors typically introduce. Planners should note that the property's small footprint and 25-guest cap make it unsuitable for events exceeding that number — there is no overflow space — so it is best positioned as a venue for curated, high-touch gatherings rather than volume-driven functions.
WelcomHeritage Connaught House is part of the WelcomHeritage collection, a joint venture between ITC Hotels and The Travel Corporation of India, which is a portfolio that focuses on preserving historically significant properties across India. Inclusion in this portfolio carries practical meaning for planners: procurement teams at large corporates and MICE agencies often have ITC Hotels group agreements that extend to WelcomHeritage properties, which can simplify the RFP and contracting process. The brand's conservation mandate also means the property is maintained to a documented heritage standard, giving event organisers confidence in the condition of the physical asset they are hiring.
Spalba's listing for WelcomHeritage Connaught House includes verified capacity details, event-space photographs, and direct enquiry tools that allow planners to submit a structured brief without a phone call. Given the 25-guest ceiling, dates at this location are finite and fill on a full-property-exclusive basis, so early-stage feasibility checks through the Spalba platform are the most efficient first step. For planners evaluating intimate venues across Rajasthan's hill stations, this property merits direct comparison against larger alternatives before capacity assumptions are made — the trade-off between exclusivity and scale here is one that many small-group clients, once they understand it, resolve clearly in favour of this space.

Jaisalmer Fort is situated in the city of Jaisalmer, in the Indian state of Rajasthan.
