Partnership Rooted in Shared Values
Thakur Man Singh Kanota, custodian of the Castle Kanota estate, stated that the property has historically embodied duty and hospitality, with each generation adapting to changing times while remaining anchored in core values. He highlighted that the partnership with Storii by ITC Hotels aligns closely with the family’s approach to mindful and responsible hospitality, particularly as the estate marks its 150-year legacy.
Founded in the mid-19th century by Thakur Zorawar Singh ji, an aristocrat in service of the Maharajas of Jaipur, Castle Kanota began as a jagir headquarters before evolving into a lived-in family residence. The estate has been shaped by generations involved in public service, military leadership, scholarship and heritage conservation.
In 1971, Castle Kanota opened its doors to travellers, integrating hospitality into family life while preserving its historical and cultural character.
