A Regal Alliance
Travel+Leisure India|December 2019
Enveloped in a soothing shade of pink, the capital of Rajasthan is steeped in tales of glory that come alive in its forlorn forts and majestic palaces. True to its royal history, Jaipur treats its guests with immense grandeur and unmatched hospitality. Now, a unique collaboration between Airbnb and Jaipur’s royal family is set to open the doors of City Palace Jaipur to discerning travellers who seek extraordinary stays and immersive experiences.
A Regal Alliance

Jaipur is unique, as is its most celebrated asset, the City Palace. An intricate 18th-century façade welcomes you to the official residence of Jaipur’s royal family, and is followed by the overwhelming grandeur of a complex of courtyards, pavillions, lush gardens, and fascinating museums, all overlooked by the mighty Kachhwaha flag flapping in the mighty winds that sweep the desert lands of Rajasthan. The interiors of the palace stay bathed in their old-world opulence; the moment you step out, Jaipur unfurls like a sea of sandstone buildings, mid-rise towers, quirky hangouts, and busy market lanes.

When you regard this kaleidoscope of eras radiating out in the Pink City from its epicentre, the City Palace, it feels but natural to want to call it home for the duration of your stay. Now, you can, thanks to a unique collaboration between the hospitality platform and the royal family.

Since its inception, Airbnb has offered authentic and unique stays around the world, hosted by locals who know the lay of the land better than any guidebook. The new listing at City Palace Jaipur takes this offering up several notches. Not only does it promise incoming tourists a taste of the royal life, but also carries the potential of putting Jaipur on the world map.

A CITY IS BORN

Jaipur gets its name from the ruler of the Rajput State of Amber, Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II (1686-1743). That’s because Sawai Jai Singh was much more than a monarch. His enduring legacy is that of a mathematician, a passionate astronomer, and a town planner with a unique vision. Not only did he build astronomy observatories (Jantar Mantar) in Delhi, Jaipur, Varanasi, Ujjain, and Mathura, but he also founded and built the city of Jaipur as his capital in 1727.
