JAIPUR, INDIA

VILLA PALLADIO JAIPUR 

The Pink City's newest boutique hotel will have you seeing red in a good way. The nine-room Villa Palladio is designed almost entirely in punchy shades of vermilion, cherry, scarlet, and carmine. Over-the-top color is something of a signature for Barbara Miolini, Marie-Anne Oudejans, and Vikas Soni, the team who famously wrapped Jaipur's Bar Palladio in blue. Though the aesthetic might initially seem overwhelming, Villa Palladio quickly becomes a respite from the cacophony of the city, about a 30-minute drive away. Spend some time at the spa (where the massages and "grounding rituals" incorporate powdered pearl and quartz) or reading in the garden, surrounded by the scent of jasmine, pink laurel, and hibiscus. villa-Palladio-jaipur.com; doubles from $390.- PRASAD RAMAMURTHY
