Where Royal Heritage Lives On

Set on an elevation overlooking the countryside, Khirasara Palace brings together its serene rural setting with proximity to Rajkot. Once a proud sentinel of Kathiawar’s regal past, it now stands refined, restored and reimagined.

Here, centuries of history unfold quietly, offering a stay where heritage is not just preserved, but thoughtfully experienced in a way that feels both timeless and present.

VISION AND MISSION

The Spirit of Khirasara

Rooted in over 400 years of legacy, Khirasara is carefully preserved with a quiet respect for its past. Through thoughtful restoration and warm hospitality, it offers more than a stay; inviting a deeper connection to time, place and tradition.

HISTORY

A Legacy Shaped Over Centuries

Khirasara’s story begins with the Jadeja Rajputs, an offshoot of the Dhrol State dynasty, tracing back over four centuries. The palace came into prominence under Shree Bhimaji, who chose Khirasara as his seat, shaping its early identity alongside the surrounding villages. Over time, the estate evolved through successive rulers, each leaving a distinct imprint.

Architectural expansions by Thakore Ranmalji and progressive initiatives under Shree Sursinhji reflect a legacy that was never static but constantly evolving. What remains today is not just a structure, but a living record of resilience, refinement and continuity rooted deeply in Kathiawadi heritage.
In 1999, the palace entered a new chapter when it was acquired with the vision of restoring its regal soul. Over eleven years, Khirasara was carefully revived, respecting its original character while preparing it for a new era.

Reopened in 2010 as a heritage hotel, the palace now bridges past and present with quiet confidence. Today, under thoughtful stewardship, it continues to evolve while remaining grounded in its origins. The restoration has not altered its identity but enhanced it, allowing guests to experience a space where history is not distant, but lived, through architecture, atmosphere and the stories it continues to hold.
