Jaipur
In four words, it's Jaipur in a palace. Its façade echoes that of Amer Fort, its 24-pillared hall reflects those of the City Palace, while the grand hall gives pride of place to heritage, notably the 187-year-old Golden Gate - the original gilded entrance of Rambagh Palace. Delicate thikree work, hand-painted murals, a mix of tiles and stone, carefully preserved objects and period photographs make this palace a special place.

The hotel offers spacious rooms and private courtyards surrounded by greenery, royal suites with private pools.
The décor was chosen by the royal family, whether in the rooms, the leisure spaces, the sumptuous Sabha Niwas conference hall, or the library-themed aesthetic of the 1835 cocktail bar, where prized malts, conversation and 200-year-old books provide the company. The Maharaja was India's first ambassador to Spain, a heritage celebrated at La Mesa and La Terraza, the palace's multi-cuisine restaurant and outdoor space, both Spanish-themed.
The palace hotel's outdoor pool and fitness centre complete the picture, while the Jiva Spa at Rambagh Palace, located right next door, promises an unmatched thermal experience.
