A Blend Of Old And New

With an interesting play of traditional and contemporary designs, attention to detail, and newly added facilities, the recently relaunched ibis Jaipur Civil Lines stands out from the crowd in the Pink City.

JAIPUR ISN’T new on the tourism circuit. The city’s labyrinthine lanes, crimson buildings, and its majestic forts and palaces find place on almost every Indian holiday itinerary. And even though I have had my fair share of visits to the Pink City, the relaunch of one of its uber-modern properties—ibis Jaipur Civil Lines— beckoned me once again.

Amid an ocean of heritage hotels that were once homes to erstwhile royals, ibis Jaipur Civil Lines is a breath of fresh air. The blesiure hotel has been reinvented with unique design concepts, dynamic interiors, and interesting dining options for the newage traveller.
