The Fern Residency Ajmer

Overview

About this property

The Fern Residency Ajmer is a city hotel in Ajmer, run by The Fern Hotels and Resorts. Its own site presents it as a stay that blends comfort and elegance with a touch of heritage, in the historic city of Ajmer. It is a modern city hotel, not a palace or a resort, and it suits business travellers, families and pilgrims alike.

The hotel's own site places it well for Ajmer's sights: the Dargah Sharif, Ana Sagar Lake and Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra are the city's classic stops, and Pushkar is a short drive away. The hotel works as a base for both towns, with the dargah visit in the morning and Pushkar in the afternoon.

The Fern is a large Indian hotel group, and this property follows the group's pattern: clean rooms, a restaurant, room service and event space. Its own site lists banquet halls for weddings and corporate events, so it can host a family event as well as a normal stay.

This page is shorter on detail than some of our other hotel pages, and that is deliberate. The hotel's official page renders its room count as zero, which is clearly a site fault, and its dining section shows images without text. We list only what the official site confirms, and we direct the rest to the hotel's website.

The Fern group behind this hotel is part of its story. The Fern Hotels and Resorts runs more than a hundred hotels in India, and this Ajmer property follows the group's pattern: a modern city hotel with a restaurant, room service and event space, rather than a palace or a resort. That group backing matters for consistency: the rooms, the food and the service follow a set standard, so a traveller who has stayed at another Fern hotel will know roughly what to expect. The hotel's own site also lists pay-at-hotel and free cancellation among its offers, which gives flexibility if plans change. For a pilgrim or business trip, that flexibility is useful, since dates can shift.

What you get here

Everything above is taken from the hotel's own website. If something is not listed here, it means we could not confirm it from the official site, so we have not written it.

Rooms

Rooms with modern comforts

The hotel's own site names the Winter Green Room as its room type on the fetched page. It describes it as a warm, comfortable room with thoughtful light and warm design touches, plus modern conveniences for a relaxed stay. The page also lists the room's services: free WiFi, in-room dining, housekeeping, laundry, 24-hour room service and air conditioning.

Those services cover the practical things well. Free WiFi and 24-hour room service matter most for a city stay: you can work, eat late, and get laundry done without leaving the hotel. Air conditioning is listed for the rooms, which matters in Ajmer's heat.

We do not state a total room count for this hotel. The hotel's official page renders the count as zero, which is a site fault, and other pages of the same site give a different number. We leave the count out rather than pick a number that may be wrong.

Room types and prices change with the season, so the hotel's own website will have the latest list. We do not show prices here because they change often, and we do not want to show you an old price.

The Winter Green Room name points to the hotel's design approach: warm, calm and comfortable, with thoughtful light and warm design touches. That is the language of a modern city hotel, not a palace, and it fits a stay where the room is a base for sightseeing rather than a sight in itself. The room services the site lists — free WiFi, in-room dining, housekeeping, laundry, 24-hour room service and air conditioning — cover the practical needs of a city stay. Laundry matters for a longer trip, 24-hour room service matters for late arrivals, and free WiFi matters for work and for staying in touch. Ask the hotel about other room types, since the fetched page names only the Winter Green Room.

Food & drink

Where to eat

The hotel group's own page text names Laziz as the restaurant at The Fern Residency Ajmer, with a focus on North Indian flavours: kebabs, rich curries and tandoori dishes, made with fresh ingredients and traditional methods. The same text calls it a good place for family meals, casual dining or special celebrations.

In-room dining is also listed on the hotel's own page, with 24-hour room service. That covers late dinners after a long day out, without going out again. For menus and meal timings, the hotel's website is the right place to check.

Outside the hotel, Ajmer's old-city eateries near the dargah are the real food walk: small places, chai stalls and a much wider choice than Pushkar town, which is strictly vegetarian and dry. The dargah market runs on its chai stalls, and an evening there is the town's food experience.

Laziz, the hotel's restaurant, follows the North Indian focus that suits Ajmer's old city. Its own group page text lists kebabs, rich curries and tandoori dishes, made with fresh ingredients and traditional methods. That is a good match for a dargah visit, since the old city's own food is also North Indian and Mughlai in style. A hotel restaurant with the same flavours, in a quieter room, is the easier choice after a crowded morning at the shrine. The 24-hour room service the site lists covers the other end of the day: a late meal in your room, without going out again after a long day.

Things to do

A day of dargah, lake and old city

A good day at The Fern Residency Ajmer starts at the Dargah Sharif of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti in the old city, the shrine most visitors come to Ajmer for. Go in the morning, when the lanes are cooler and the shrine is at its most alive, and keep your shoes and belongings in mind in the crowds.

After the dargah, Ana Sagar Lake with the Daulat Bagh gardens is the calm stop, and Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra, the historic mosque in the old city, is the other classic sight. Both are in Ajmer itself, so the day needs no long drives.

In the afternoon, the hotel's room service and WiFi make a rest in your room the easy option, or a late lunch at Laziz. The old-city markets and chai stalls pick up again in the evening, and that is the time for a food walk.

If you have a second day, Pushkar is a short drive away: the sacred lake and its ghats, the Brahma Temple, and sunset chai at a lakeside cafe. The two towns are one trip, and this hotel is the Ajmer base for both.

The hotel's city spot shapes the day in a useful way. Ajmer's classic sights — the Dargah Sharif, Ana Sagar Lake and Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra — are all in the city itself, so the day needs no long drives. That leaves time for a rest in the middle of the day, which the hotel's room service and WiFi make easy, and for an evening food walk in the old city. The second day, to Pushkar, is the contrast: a quieter, smaller town, with a lake, ghats and a temple, and vegetarian-only food. The two towns together give a full picture of this part of Rajasthan, and this hotel is the Ajmer base for both.

Location

Where it is, and what is near

Ajmer is an old Rajasthan city at the foot of the Taragarh hills, and it is the gateway to Pushkar — the lake town is just 15 km away. Most visitors come for the Dargah Sharif of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, the famous Sufi shrine in the old city, and pair it with a Pushkar day.

The city's other classic stops are Ana Sagar Lake, an artificial lake with the Daulat Bagh gardens beside it, and Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra, a historic mosque in the old city. The old-city markets around the dargah run on chai stalls and small eateries, and they are busiest on Thursdays.

Unlike Pushkar, Ajmer city has licensed wine shops and a wider, meatier choice of old-city food. If you are staying in Ajmer and visiting Pushkar for the day, you get both towns' characters in one trip.

Getting here

How to reach the hotel

Ajmer Junction is the city's railway station, well connected to Delhi and Jaipur. The nearest airport is Kishangarh, and Jaipur airport is the bigger option for flights.

By road, Delhi to Ajmer is a straight NH-48 run — our own route data puts it at 434 km from Delhi, 376 km from Gurgaon and 422 km from Noida, mostly four-lane highway via Behror and Shahpura. Pushkar is barely a detour off this highway, 15 km beyond Ajmer.

Best time

Best time to visit Ajmer

October to March is the best time for Ajmer, when the days are cool enough for the old city, the dargah and the lake. This is also Pushkar Fair season in Kartik (around November), so rooms across both towns fill early then.

Summer (April to June) is hot and dry, and the monsoon months are humid. If you come in summer, plan the dargah and the markets for the morning and evening, not the middle of the day.

Good to know

Before you book

The dargah area is crowded, especially on Thursdays — keep your belongings close and your shoes in mind, since you will take them off at shrines and temples. The old-city lanes are narrow, so a car stays parked while you walk the markets.

Carry cash for the old-city eateries and chai stalls around the dargah. If you are pairing Ajmer with Pushkar, remember Pushkar town itself is vegetarian and dry — plan meals and drinks accordingly.

Safari permits and park rules do not apply here — this is a city and temple-town trip, not a jungle trip. The practical planning is about heat, crowds and the Pushkar Fair calendar, not permits.

We do not state a total room count for this hotel, since its official page renders the count as zero, which is a site fault. The hotel's website has the latest room list.
