Rambagh Palace, Jaipur

A destination palace resort spread over 47 acres of tranquil, landscaped gardens, Rambagh Palace is Jaipur's foremost Royal Palace residence. Located close to the walled 'Pink City', spectacular forts, and all the unique shopping bazaars of Jaipur, the Palace unveils the rich culture and history of the erstwhile rulers of Rajasthan. Built in 1835 as a hunting lodge, converted to a palace in 1925 as the residence of the Maharaja of Jaipur and finally converted as India's first palace hotel in 1957. An architectural masterpiece, Rambagh presents a fine blend of Rajput and Mughal architecture. Sensitively restored to its former glory with refurbished rooms overlooking courtyards with fountains or verdant gardens, airy verandahs, idyllic front lawns and a warm intimate lobby, guests relive the royal lifestyle at Rambagh.

In addition, personalized butlers are there throughout the Palace who are knowledgeable hosts to modern day Maharajas. Rambagh Palace offers 90 rooms including aesthetically restored suites, which were the chambers of the former Maharaja. Use of rich fabrics and silk drapes draw from the colourful art and warm hues of the state of Rajasthan. Luxury rooms, Historical Suites and theme royal and grand Royal Suites present accommodation befitting royalty. An ideal destination for meetings in historical surroundings, Rambagh Palace offers banquet facilities for smaller meetings of around 50 participants within the Palace building and 350 - 600 delegates at the adjacent SMS Function Centre. Having played host to worldwide CEOs and famous international personalities, the Palace is ideal for renewal of wedding vows in princely grandeur.
