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.
