A heady mix of the old and the new, Rajasthan’s flamboyant capital, Jaipur, caters to every kind of traveller—from young couples to multi-generational families—with its exquisite collection of hotels and resorts.
The Oberoi Rajvilas
Raj Mahal serves Indian fare in a magical outdoor setting.
Ranked among top hotels in the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2018 list, The Oberoi Rajvilas is considered the epitome of Indian hospitality. It features premier rooms, luxury tents, and villas with private pools in a fortlike setting. The dining destinations are equally unique—while ornate chandeliers welcome guests at Surya Mahal; Raj Mahal charms visitors with its al fresco setting; and the Rajwada Library Bar is the place to enjoy your nightcap. Bespoke experiences, such as a cooking session with the chef, a morning walk followed by a scrumptious breakfast in the Herb Garden, and a wine tasting session, make the stay memorable. The Oberoi Spa offers a mix of Ayurvedic and western therapies. Starts from 28,500/US$408, oberoihotels.com
