RAAS Rajmahal Palace
Jaipur

RAAS Rajmahal Palace is a luxurious boutique hotel located in the heart of Jaipur, offering guests the chance to experience royal living at its finest. As you arrive, you’re greeted by a team of beaming, smartly dressed men, each wearing a distinctive pink turban, setting the tone for an unforgettable stay. Housed in Jaipur’s oldest royal palace, this property boasts a rich and colourful history that perfectly matches its flamboyant interiors.

Originally built in 1729 as a royal residence for the Maharaja of Jaipur, Rajmahal Palace Jaipur later served as the British Residence and was extensively remodelled in the 1930s with a striking Art Deco style. After India’s independence, it became the official residence of the glamorous Maharaja and Maharani of Jaipur. The renovated interiors, designed by renowned Indian designer Adil Ahmad, are a stunning blend of bold, vibrant colours, bespoke furniture, antique family photographs and 46 types of custom-made wallpaper, creating an eccentric and exquisite atmosphere.

The Rajmahal Palace features just 13 rooms, including two magnificent Royal apartments, ensuring an exclusive and intimate experience. The rooms, named after the palace’s esteemed guests, offer a blend of comfort and grandeur. The Queen Elizabeth II Suite boasts a cool mint color palette, offering a refreshing contrast to the Indian heat. The Maharaja’s Two-Bedroom Apartment includes a private terrace, a dining room for eight, and a dedicated butler, ensuring guests receive the highest level of service.

In addition to its luxurious accommodations, Rajmahal Palace offers smooth, understated service, an art deco swimming pool, a small spa and seven acres of beautifully manicured gardens and lawns. Located in the very centre of Jaipur, this boutique hotel has become one of the city’s most coveted addresses.

Over the years, the royal family of Jaipur has hosted legendary events and parties at the palace, welcoming royals, polo players, fashionistas and dignitaries from across the globe. The palace is also available for exclusive private bookings, making it a perfect venue for weddings, parties, and events, whether for two people or two hundred.

In 2016, the renowned Indian interiors store Good Earth opened a flagship boutique at RAAS Rajmahal Palace, offering guests the opportunity to shop exclusive collections that celebrate India's vibrant colors, craft and design. As India’s leading sustainable luxury brand, Good Earth reflects the rich history and vibrant palette of the palace and the iconic Pink City of Jaipur.
