The erstwhile rulers of the princely state of Alwar owned this fort and place hotel. The construction of the fort was started in 1835 CE by Balwant Singh. The construction of the fort was abandoned in 1845 due to the premature death of Maharaja Balwant Singh in a war.

In 1986, Aman Nath, a historian by education, acquired Neemrana Fort-cum-Palace. Actively involved in restoring India’s lesser-known architectural ruins, Mr Aman Nath co-founded the Neemrana. Neemrana Hotels undertook the restoration of the fort-cum-palace. The Hotel was opened in 1991. It is now a top-rated heritage hotel in the city.
