Overview & Setting
Rajmahal Palace RAAS is an intimate 5-star heritage hotel in the heart of Jaipur, run by RAAS Hotels, which took over the property in 2021. The palace dates back to 1729 and was for many years a residence of the Jaipur royal family, including Maharaja Sawai Man Singh and Maharani Gayatri Devi; over the decades it hosted figures such as Queen Elizabeth II, Jackie Kennedy and Lord and Lady Mountbatten. Today it offers just 13 rooms and suites, including two Royal Apartments, set within a striking Indian Art Deco interior and over 100,000 sq ft of gardens.
Location & Getting There
The hotel sits on Sardar Patel Marg in the leafy C-Scheme district, one of central Jaipur’s most prestigious addresses. The Old City landmarks are very close: the Albert Hall Museum is about 2.5 km away, with the City Palace, Hawa Mahal and Jantar Mantar all within 3–4 km. Jaipur International Airport (Sanganer) is roughly 11 km south, around a 25-minute drive. This central position is a key part of the appeal — unlike the highway palaces north of the city, Rajmahal puts guests within minutes of the Pink City’s core.
Rooms & Suites
With only 13 keys, the palace feels more like a private house than a hotel. Rooms and suites pair classic and contemporary elements into a distinctive Art Deco style, with bold colours, patterned floors and period furniture. Several suites are named for celebrated former guests, and the two Royal Apartments recall the building’s history as a royal residence. The scale ensures a quiet, personal stay with attentive service.
Dining
Two restaurants anchor the dining. The Colonnade is the all-day venue, serving breakfast, high tea and comfort food that opens out onto the gardens. 51 Shades of Pink — a nod to the Pink City — is a vibrant mirrored room for celebratory lunches and dinners, serving Indian and international dishes. The Polo Bar pours cocktails, wines and spirits in a setting that references the city’s polo heritage.
Amenities, Spa & Pool
An outdoor swimming pool and the expansive heritage gardens are the centrepiece of the grounds, with lawns that can host events from intimate gatherings to large celebrations. Spa treatments, free Wi-Fi, concierge and highly personal butler-style service complete the offering. The emphasis throughout is on understated luxury and seclusion rather than a large resort’s facility list.
Experiences & Things to Do Nearby
The central location makes the palace an excellent base for exploring Jaipur on foot and by short drive. The City Palace, Jantar Mantar and Hawa Mahal are a few minutes away, and the bazaars of the walled city, the Albert Hall Museum and Birla Mandir are all close. Nahargarh and Jaigarh forts on the surrounding hills, and Amer Fort to the north, are easy half-day excursions. The hotel’s gardens also make it a sought-after venue for weddings and private events.
Who It’s Best For
Rajmahal Palace RAAS suits travellers who want a genuine heritage and design-led palace stay in the centre of Jaipur rather than a large branded resort. Its small scale, gardens and Art Deco character make it well suited to honeymoons, special occasions and discerning guests who value privacy and a central position close to the Old City’s sights.
