At the heart of Jaipur, behind fortified walls, stands The Raj Palace, a former royal residence that once belonged to the Maharajas. This multi award winning hotel is the city’s first museum hotel, a stately mansion and pleasure palace featuring restaurants, a spa, an exclusive cinema, a pool, gardens, courtyards, and striking decorative details.

The palace sits on the main Amber Road, with major sightseeing spots and shopping areas close by. Built in 1727 as Jaipur’s first palace, it remains a prime example of the Pink City’s character, charm, and grandeur. Converted into a luxury hotel in 1996, it later introduced museum suites, making it the first palace hotel in India to offer such accommodations. The property is part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

Grandeur reaches its peak inside. There are 24 carat gold fittings, stucco work, brocades, mirror details, hand painted frescoes, massive crystal chandeliers, antiques, and priceless artifacts throughout this monumental palace. Its museum suites also earned The Raj Palace the distinction of being the first palace hotel in the world with such accommodations. Jaipur International Airport is nearby, and Mouj Mahal is an eight minute walk away, while Hawa Mahal, The City Palace, Nahargarh Fort, and Sargasuli Tower are all within a roughly twenty minute walk.

The hotel was amazing; Kaan Singh & Saachin Kumar in restaurant were great! Our room service attendant(don’t remember his name was great!) the check-in team was 10 out of 10. Knew the name with-out even having to say. The lounger coffee shop is a nice place to relax. The hotel is pricey, but it has a lot of history. I would still recommend it! Rooms are super clean, and the crew if you need anything extra gets it to you under 5 max 10 mins. Close to Hawa Mahal and center city shopping.

There is something very cool about staying at a palace in India…very unique experience. The staff was amazing! Always helpful and even offered to walk us across the street to the nearest ATM. Breakfast buffet was great and we had two dinners here that were also good. But staying in a palace also has its drawbacks. WiFi was always spotty, courtyards and old elevators contributed to a noisy environment, AC went on and off all night so not always restful, and the workout room needs to be updated. Overall, I am still glad to have stayed here for 3 nights and again, really appreciated the service!

Extremely disappointing stay and very unprofessional management response My partner and I stayed at The Raj Palace - Jaipur, and unfortunately it turned out to be one of the most disappointing hotel experiences in more than 40 years of travelling. The room - priced at around €850 per night - was completely unacceptable for a property that claims to be a luxury palace hotel. During our stay we experienced several serious issues: • Mice in the room • Curtains that did not properly cover the windows • Beds not properly made • Old and worn bedsheets • Safety concerns with electrical switches during the night Overall, the condition of the room felt closer to a 2–3 star hotel at best, certainly not the luxury experience that was advertised. It honestly reminded us more of an episode of Fawlty Towers than a five-star palace hotel. During our stay, the manager Ms. Shalu spoke with us and even acknowledged that our experience was “disgusting,” promising that the situation would be addressed. Unfortunately, no meaningful follow-up ever happened. My partner later sent a detailed email to the hotel management explaining everything we experienced. Initially there appeared to be a response, but when we attempted to reply, the entire email body had disappeared, leaving only the hotel logo and header with no written content at all. This was extremely unprofessional and concerning. When we later posted our honest feedback online, the hotel posted what appeared to be a generic, AI-style response simply to complete the review formality, rather than genuinely addressing the issues. Even more shocking was the second response written by the General Manager, Ankur Rara Jethlia, posted on Tripadvisor. Instead of responding professionally, the reply was mocking, making fun about “legendary mice,” implying that the curtains had somehow been altered by us, and making light of the electrical safety issues we raised. We found this tone deeply inappropriate and extremely disappointing for a hotel that claims to be a luxury establishment. For us - my partner and I - these public accusations and insinuations against us are extremely serious. We consider the statements made in that response to be defamatory toward us as guests, and we are therefore seeking legal advice and will be instructing our lawyer to review this matter and take appropriate action if necessary. Instead of resolving a genuine complaint from paying guests, the management chose to mock the situation publicly, which reflects very poorly on the professionalism and standards of customer service at The Raj Palace - Jaipur. Based on our experience, I strongly recommend that travellers think very carefully before choosing to stay here. What should have been a memorable stay in a heritage palace became a deeply frustrating and disappointing experience both during and after our visit. Muzafar

There’s no doubt that the building is stunning. Full of attractive courtyards and pretty nooks. It really is a magnificent looking hotel with lots of history. We were upgraded from a Heritage room to a Suite - a good sized room with two large comfortable armchairs and a large bed. We had a couple of issues with the room but the hotel management sorted them out for us without us having to change rooms (which they were otherwise happy to do) and they were very supportive and accommodating in their resolution. What I have learned here is just ask - nothing is too much for the hotel to sort. The staff are all really nice, warm and appreciative. The breakfast was good but the evening meals are simply excellent! I have to confess I ate curry every day they were so good, but there was some more ‘western’ food had we wanted it.. The dining room is certainly very grand, though for our stay a little lacking in ambience given the few guests staying due to the war in Iran (cancellations on transfers through Dubai), but we also ate outside and this was really beautiful with the candle lit tables. The location is good - right in the heart of Jaipur, just a short tuk tuk to the Palace of the Winds (150 rupees). The converse of that is that we did hear the Mosque calling for prayer quite early in the morning. I guess you take the rough with the smooth. So, all in all, this hotel is a good place to stay in Jaipur. Beautiful to look at, well positioned and whilst it does have an old worldliness about it at times, it is nevertheless a great place to rest, explore from and within, and the staff cannot be faulted.

It was my family trip with all my family members. They enjoyed the stay at the hotel, the heritage look of the hotel was amazing. It was so near to Hawa Mahal, we walked in the night around the Hawa Mahal. Over all great experience. Hotel staff was very supportive, their service was too good.
