Rambagh Palace
Jaipur

Rambagh Palace is one of Ampersand's Top Ten Hotels in Rajasthan and Top 10 Venues for a Wedding or Party.

Rambagh Palace is one of India’s most iconic luxury hotels, offering a regal and immersive stay in the heart of Jaipur. Originally built in 1835, this magnificent palace was once the royal residence of Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II and his queen. Surrounded by 47 acres of manicured gardens, the palace offers a peaceful escape from the vibrant streets of the Pink City. With peacocks strolling across the lawns and classical Indian music drifting from the verandas, the atmosphere is effortlessly romantic. Over the years, Rambagh Palace has welcomed a host of illustrious guests including Lord Louis Mountbatten, King Charles and Jacqueline Kennedy.

Now part of the Taj Hotels group, Rambagh Palace continues to exude royal grandeur. Throughout the property, you'll find hand-carved marble latticework, intricate sandstone balustrades, Mughal-style gardens and exquisite cenotaphs, a setting that truly makes you feel like a guest of the Maharaja. The 78 rooms and suites, once the chambers of the royal family, have been transformed into luxurious retreats featuring rich fabrics, traditional Rajasthani décor and all the comforts of modern hospitality. The combination of old-world elegance and contemporary amenities creates an unforgettable heritage experience.

Guests can unwind in the art deco indoor pool where the Maharaja once swam each morning, or relax by the outdoor pool with a view of the palace gardens. The Jiva Grande Spa, nestled in a secluded corner of the estate, offers a wide range of Ayurvedic and holistic treatments designed to rejuvenate both body and mind. The palace also houses a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a steam room, sauna, jacuzzi and a yoga and meditation pavilion where guests can book private sessions to restore balance and energy.

Dining at Rambagh Palace is a true celebration of Rajput hospitality. The grand Suvarna Mahal, formerly the palace ballroom, serves royal Indian cuisine beneath glittering crystal chandeliers in a setting of old-world opulence. For something more relaxed, Steam offers gourmet pizzas in a restored vintage train carriage with a laid-back outdoor vibe. Rajput Room and Verandah Café provide elegant all-day dining options with both Indian and international menus. After a day of sightseeing, the Polo Bar is the perfect place to unwind with a signature pink gin cocktail, surrounded by the gleaming trophies of Jaipur’s famous polo team.

Rambagh Palace is much more than a luxury hotel, it’s a living piece of history and a rare opportunity to experience the romance and splendour of India’s royal past. With its central Jaipur location near major landmarks such as Hawa Mahal, the City Palace and Amer Fort, it’s the ideal base for discovering Rajasthan’s rich heritage in comfort and style. Whether you’re travelling for a honeymoon, a special celebration, or simply to indulge in five-star elegance, Rambagh Palace promises an experience as unforgettable as it is unique.
