by Urbanaut In a bucking of the traditionalist trend that has come to define Jaipur stays, 28 Kothi is modern and thoughtfully designed to say the most with the least. It is the result of of a collab between jewellery designer Siddharth Kasliwal of Gem Palace fame and hospitality bigwig Abhishek Honawar. With just five rooms to let out, the experience is plush and personal, made even more so by charming staff brimming with recommendations. This boutique hotel hits the sweet spot when it comes to both hospitality and that luxe factor. It is, beyond a doubt, not your average guesthouse.
by Urbanaut One of the oldest private palaces in Jaipur, Rajmahal was built as a retreat for HH Sawai Jai Singh 11’s wife Chandra Kanwar Ranawat. It’s situated in lush green gardens and still holding on to the regal charm of Jaipur’s bygone years. There’s nothing understated about the palace, from the vibrant wallpaper to the personal possessions that belonged to the Royal family still holding court. There are just 14 rooms and suites; relax there, head to the Polo Bar for cocktails, or relax by the pool.
by Urbanaut Alsisar Haveli is what dreams about royalty are made of, we think. The traditional Haveli functions today as a luxury heritage hotel run by a lineage of Rajputs descended from a great Rajasthani warrior. There are sprawling courtyards and lush gardens framed by the stunning arches of the historical building — but they don’t lack in modernity, either! Alsisar has a tempting pool and exclusive spa; the stunningly decorated dining room is a delightful escape for gourmands and the curious alike. It’s a fascinating experience, to stay a few days in a building that has seen and heard so many stories over the decades.
by Urbanaut A stunning 12-bedroom retreat designed by the owner Shiva Gujar in partnership with late Italian architect Paola Giacomini. The sunlit interiors are lovingly furnished with antiques and vintage pieces; the exterior opens out to splendid views of the 18th century Nahargarh Fort. Hostess Anita whips up incredible Indian suppers while their daughter Megha helms a lovely boutique selling local crafts and textiles. It’s a cosy yet refined space — perfect as a jump-off point for visitors to Jaipur.
by Urbanaut Spread across an expansive 18 acres of manicured land and gardens, the Diggi Palace reflects Jaipur’s culture and deep-rooted history. The rooms at this heritage hotel still retain the charm and details of its golden years. They also host a number of events and cultural tours that’ll add flavour to your stay.
by Urbanaut If, when thinking of Jaipur, you envision proud pillared edifices with stately arches and lattices windows, Rambagh Palace comes wonderfully close to representing that. The luxury heritage hotel, under the wing of the Taj Group, is set in an eponymous converted palace that dates back to 1835. It took on many forms through history, from being a royal guesthouse and hunting lodge to becoming the residence of Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II and Maharani Gayatri Devi. It’s even hosted the likes of Prince Charles and Jackie Kennedy. Naturally, staying in one of the 78 rooms and suites in the palace, we dare say you’ll feel like royalty for the duration of your stay. It’s a cliché, but it’s true.
by Urbanaut This tasteful space is an art studio and homestay set in a 50-year old restore bungalow. Their eight rooms are each themed differently, art plays a role in every corner and their workshops and studio space are great if you’re looking for alternative things to do. It’s an especially lovely place to go to with kids. The staff are warm and helpful and your little one will be well taken care of and creatively occupied!
by Urbanaut Featuring glorious architecture and delicately decorated walls and ceilings, Narain Niwas Palace is by far one of the finest heritage hotels in Jaipur. The rooms are painstakingly preserved to reflect the handiwork of the past; some upgraded suites have gorgeous stone-carved balconies and French windows that open to sweeping courtyards. You’ll probably spot a well-known name or two, so don’t bat an eyelid — the luxury hotel is high on the list for many eminent people, too.
by Urbanaut This luxurious boutique hotel is an oasis of calm in the heart of Jaipur’s bustling jeweller’s bazaar. The 19th century home-turned-hotel still holds onto the remnants of its past life, from stunning arches to lovingly restored murals. They have just five suites, which adds a layer of privacy to the already exclusive experience — it also helps that you’ll have full run of the courtyard and the intimate cocktail bar. It was launched by the same team behind the beautiful 28 Kothi, so we’re sure you’ll find a delightful dance of heritage and modernity here, too.
by Urbanaut This traditional Indian mansion is a stunning example of Indo-Sarcenic architecture, and was built more than 125 years ago. Today, it’s home to 50 beautifully decorated rooms, each with a distinct character and link to the past. The exquisite open-air dining courtyard and the glittering pool are luxurious perks that add to the experience.
by Urbanaut Mukam is a boutique homestay in a remodeled building from the 1980s that the owners called home for over 20 years. It’s been designed with the nostalgia of their memories in this space as well as in anticipation of those that guests are bound to create here. This blend is visible in every detail of the homestay—repurposed and handcrafted traditional furniture, Rajasthani prints and artwork in harmony with contemporary standards of comfort. They provide five bedrooms with private bathrooms as well as kitchenettes in three of those rooms. The homestay is centrally located in Malviya Nagar, and is close to public transportation, eateries, grocery stores and all the activities Jaipur offers. All rooms have a distinct character and color pallets to provide an comfortable experience.

by Urbanaut An absolutely delectable new property from the people behind the equally sexy Bar Palladio. This decadent boutique property lies on the road toward Agra - a short hop away from the main city of Jaipur - offering quietude and inspiration within its striking red walls and beauty in every corner. If you’re looking for a truly luxurious, straight from a design magazine experience, Villa Palladio is for you
by Urbanaut As if Jaipur didn’t have enough royal abodes, there’s another in its cap that threw open its doors to the public — Srinivas, The Royal Residence. The private luxury resort is the residence of Maharaj Karanvijay Singh of the Jodhpur Royal Family; indeed, the whims and penchants of this family decorate the very rooms they resided in. The rich interiors are dotted with memorabilia from the family’s personal collection. The hospitality is where it all ties together with a flourish — the Jodhana service team consists of handpicked staff from the Jodhpur Palace who have been a part of the residence, indeed the family’s household, for generations. All this, plus the sprawling gardens and painstakingly preserved heritage property, makes for a stay like no other.
by Urbanaut Luxury eco retreat Anopura’s legacy starts with Belgian designer Philippe de Villegas and passes on to well-known Rajasthani art connoisseur Aditya Baheti. As a result, the luxury retreat is a slice of paradise tucked into lush hills well away from the bustle of the city. The private villas give luxury chains a run for their money — each is plush in decor yet as comfortable as home. The villas and cottages are scattered around the property; the dining hall is the stage for marvellous Indian and intercontinental fare from the kitchen helmed by a skilled head chef with roots in the village.
