Character and identity
A rose-pink former royal residence built in 1729 and reimagined as a 14-key boutique hotel, Rajmahal Palace Raas sits within formal gardens in the heart of Jaipur. The interiors, co-created by Princess Diya Kumari and designer Adil Ahmad, are an Art Deco fever dream: 46 bespoke wallpapers in fuchsia, mint and every shade between, layered with carefully sourced antiques and period furniture. Rooms are notably vast, with a guest book that includes Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh. There's a spa, an outdoor pool and dining on site, but the building itself, intimate, theatrical, residential in feel, is the headline.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-literate couples and creative travellers who want Jaipur with a sense of theatre. If you collect wallpaper references, gravitate to Wes Anderson palettes, or want a small palace where you'll recognise other guests by day two, this is the address. Honeymooners and style-led repeat visitors to Rajasthan will feel at home.
Should look elsewhere:
Families wanting a kids' club, travellers who prefer restrained, neutral luxury, or anyone after the scale, multiple restaurants and full resort facilities of a larger Jaipur palace hotel. With only 14 rooms, the amenity footprint is deliberately modest.
Bottom line
What you're paying for here is the interior design and the intimacy of a 14-room palace, not a sprawling resort experience. If colour, pattern and provenance are your love language, the spend makes sense; book one of the larger suites to give the wallpapers room to breathe, and target the cooler October to March window when Jaipur is at its best.
