Step into a modern-day palace where elegance meets history

A Regal Retreat

When I first heard about the opening of Raffles Jaipur, I knew I had to experience it for myself. The brand's reputation for gracious service, elegance, and glamour precedes it, and the idea of a majestic retreat in the heart of the vibrant Pink City was irresistible. So, I packed my bags and set off to immerse myself in what promised to be a regal adventure.

As soon as I arrived at Raffles Jaipur, I was struck by the grandeur of the place. Nestled amidst the ancient Aravalli Hills, the hotel stands as a modern-day palace, a reimagined retreat that pays homage to the regal art of living. The intricate craftsmanship was immediately apparent; every corner of the hotel seemed to tell a story, blending Mughal and Rajputana architectural traditions in a symphony of elegance.

The Subtle Grandeur of Narain Niwas Palace

There's a kind of quiet that belongs only to old homes. At Narain Niwas Palace, it hums in the walls, drifts through the painted corridors, and settles among the mango and tamarind trees. Built in 1928 by General Amar Singh Ji Kanota as a retreat from the city's noise, the palace remains under the care of his family. Its fifty-two rooms, each carrying its own blend of antique furniture and hand-painted detail, feel more like a home still in use than a hotel on display. The pale lime walls seem to hold sunlight long after dusk, and the courtyards breathe with the slow rhythm of a place untouched by time.
