The charming Pink City is already loved for its impressive luxury experiences & unmatched royal heritage. In a city awash with lavish palace accommodation options, these five properties stand out to me as the best boutique hotels in Jaipur. Expect stays flanked by true royalty, off-beat cultural immersions at the property itself & personalised service unlike any other in the world.
1. Samode Haveli
Samode Haveli is one of the most loved boutique hotels in Jaipur. This 225-year-old former residence wasn’t built to be a hotel, and that’s exactly what makes it stand out. Travelers love their impeccable hospitality, preserved for ages, combined with the graceful architecture displayed in every frame. So, walking through the palace is a delight– each of its corridors, courtyards & rooms are uniquely decorated with Rajasthani artwork & murals. Reflecting a centuries-old maximalist design, the walls & ceilings are hand-painted with elaborate elephants, peacocks, and floral patterns.
Closely overseen by the owners themselves are the extraordinary recipes prepared at the hotel’s grand restaurant. For most, the moment they sample their traditional Laalmaas is worth the entire trip. A refreshing retreat, away from the Jaipur heat, can be enjoyed by the hotel’s mosaic-tiled pool, surrounded by pillared pavilions. Or perhaps you’d prefer an exclusive sundowner at the Samode terrace as you look out at the bustling old town.
2. RAAS Rajmahal Palace
This palace has hosted prominent dignataries– even the late Queen Elizabeth II! Holding an impressive heritage, the RAAS Rajmahal Palace boasts a grand collection of royal items, including Polo trophies & old images of the Royal family. was home to Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh & Maharani Gayatri Devi for many years and is still resided by Rajmata Padmini Devi. The masterminds behind this late 18th-century palace restoration have pulled off the seemingly impossible: they preserved its old-world grandeur while sneaking in every contemporary luxury.
The jharokhas (overhanging balconies), beautiful archways & hand-painted murals on the walls– all add to the true Indian experience. The rooms, too, strike that perfect balance between “I’m definitely in Rajasthan” and “I don’t have to sacrifice comfort for atmosphere.” Bathrooms are as grand as something you’d want to recreate at home. The terrace offers stunning views of the entire Pink City as it starts to glow golden at sunset. It’s the kind of view that makes you forget to check your phone for hours.
