Alila Fort Bishangarh
Where: Jaipur, India
Why we're excited: The transformation of the 230-year-old warrior fortress has been seven years in the making. Located within driving distance of both New Delhi and Jaipur, the country retreat is a compelling stop for those exploring rural Rajasthan. Old meets new in the form of ancient walls (with openings for firearms) and turrets, as well as modern amenities and activities.
