Rajmahal Palace RAAS

The Rajmahal Palace RAAS , which Architectural Digest has called “one of India’s most beautiful hotels,” epitomizes Jaipur’s rich aesthetic tradition and stands as one of the oldest and most treasured palaces in the “Pink City.” The regal abode was once home to the Maharaja of Jaipur and later became the guesthouse of Jaipur’s royal family. While the region is famous for the City Palace, an unsurpassed trio of historic forts, and a thriving polo tradition, the Rajmahal Palace itself is a stunning destination that continues to epitomize the power and sensibility of a ruling family who contributed to the layered history of India. The accommodations’ floral patterned borders and geometric shapes coalesce in a unified visual theme crafted by the meticulous designer Adil Ahmad, who reinvented the palace with his signature fusion of art deco shapes and traditional detailing. The wallpaper and fabrics in each room uniquely tell the many stories of Jaipur and the collective history of the Kingdom of Amber. Travelers may indulge in the luxurious offerings of the Spa, pay exclusive visits to the royal family’s own sacred temples, embark on tailor-made excursions led by the hotel’s expert guides, and enjoy spectacular dining replete with rare Jaipur recipes. The Rajmahal Palace is also available for private bookings. Rest assured – no luxury or whim is too large or insignificant, and everything from the cocktails served by your private bartender to the linen you sleep on will be the best available.

Why We Love This Hotel

Revamped Royal Standard: Neither suffocatingly traditional nor drearily contemporary, the Rajmahal is something else entirely. Tall bay windows and mirrored doors reflect the whimsical and geometric-patterned wallpapers and fabrics that have been uniquely created for each room in the palace. The celebrated designer Adil Ahmad crafted these motifs to echo the rich history of the palace while making a nod to its reinvention as a glamorous haven for today’s royalty and luxury travelers.

Exclusively Tailored Experiences: The Rajmahal offers a gamut of activities, such as guided historical tours of the palace and bustling local markets, bicycle rides through the Pink City, and yoga lessons, in addition to the exclusive royal treatment of attending a polo or cricket match from the royal box and visiting the royal family’s own sacred temples.

Enclosed Oasis: Nestled in the heart of the vibrant capital of Rajasthan, this extraordinary palace ringed by high stone walls is a quiet oasis of garden terraces and lawns. Relax in the absolute luxury of the Jaipur royal family’s stunning abode and beautiful art deco spa after a day out exploring the marvelous sights of the city
