Rajmahal Palace Raas

Jaipur

An eighteenth-century royal palace, reimagined in colour.

The place

Built in 1729, lived in by the Jaipur royal family, and reopened as a thirteen-room hotel with a bold contemporary hand — hand-painted wallpapers, strong colour, and none of the reverence that usually flattens a palace conversion. Central, and unlike anywhere else in the city.

What is there

  • Thirteen rooms in the old palace
  • Hand-painted wallpapers and strong colour
  • Pool in the grounds
  • Central Jaipur
  • Bar and restaurant worth staying in for
  • Spa treatments
