N26.268348 E73.030719 In the latter part of the 19th century, Jodhpur had some of the best polo grounds. The oldest one still exists: the original Chammi Polo Grounds. Today, the Jodhpur Polo Season is held every December. Although you get the impression that it is a former polo clubhouse, the Polo Heritage building was designed by Gold Straw, a well-known architect, and built for Brigadier Duncan, commander of Jodhpur's state forces. The building was given to Leutenant Colonel Kishan Singh of Bhanwari as a wedding gift by Maharaja Hanwant Singh of Jodhpur. The colonel's family still manages the 2-acre property with 24 rooms. Highlights of Indian Polo are displayed in all rooms and in the hotel's library. Its location is 3.5 km south of the clock tower. An auto rickshaw to the clock tower costs ₹150. Sometime after 2012, the hotel was left to its own devices and lost its appeal due to failing standards. The COVID-19 epidemic exacerbated the demise of this historic building, which is always much more difficult to maintain than contemporary buildings. Signs of decay are everywhere. But salvation has come, and builders are now renovating the main building. An elevator is being installed. In November 2022, room 119 in the apartment building, the only room on the second floor (3F) without an elevator, with a large private terrace without garden furniture, awaited its major refurbishment. Just before entering, new mattresses were put on the beds. The room was reasonably clean, but don't start looking. The double bed was clean and slept well. Shower lacked water pressure and Wi-Fi reception in the room was intermittent. Many wireless access points with different names, passwords and transmission ranges cover the Polo Heritage, but few function. The pool in the garden is nice. The air conditioning worked poorly with a rattling sound. The room had a hair dryer, refrigerator, kettle for tea and coffee, flat screen television, ceiling fans and room save. Housekeeping visited the room every day. Breakfast in the main building was better than expected with polo heritage highlighted in every room. The Polo Heritage has a lot of heritage, but the facilities have not entered the 21st century. Just wait until the construction workers leave after renovating the entire complex. We hope this will not be a quick fix India style.
