Rambagh Palace, Jaipur

Absolutely loved our stay at Rambagh Palace. The property is breathtaking, beautifully maintained and incredibly clean, with so much heritage and history throughout. The gardens are stunning, and seeing all the beautiful peacocks wandering around the grounds made the experience even more special. The staff were lovely, attentive and welcoming, with an amazing level of attention to detail. We also booked a driver through the hotel for the day, and he was incredibly helpful throughout our stay and made getting around Jaipur so easy. The food was delicious, the location was excellent, and the whole experience truly felt special from beginning to end. Highly recommend Rambagh Palace and would absolutely stay here again when we return to Jaipur.

Disliked: Its overrated! The design and furnishings do not exude luxury, it feels like a modest property, yet the price is very high. You do not get a luxury experience commensurate with the cost; there are more upscale options available in the city. I even wanted to cancel my reservation upon arrival but was unable to do so.

Liked: After spending three wonderful nights in the heart of Jaipur at the beautiful Samode Haveli, I decided to treat my son (who had been travelling for 7 month) and I to a night of complete luxury at the magnificent Ranthambore Palace — the former Maharaja’s residence where Prince Charles and Princess Diana once stayed. From the moment we arrived, the experience was exceptional. We were welcomed with rose petals gently scattered over us and presented with fragrant floral garlands, setting the tone for what was to come. The hotel is set within stunning grounds filled with an incredible number of peacocks, creating a truly magical atmosphere. We were kindly allowed an early check-in, which meant we could enjoy the spa in the afternoon before having a light lunch at the outdoor restaurant. Later, we joined the complimentary historical tour of the palace and enjoyed a memorable ride in two vintage cars. In the evening, we had cocktails at the Polo Bar before dining at the Suvarna Mahal fine dining restaurant, which was outstanding — both in setting and quality. Every detail throughout our stay was impeccable, from the décor and food to the drinks and service. The entire experience made us feel genuinely treated like royalty. It is an unforgettable hotel, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it as one of the most special stays we have ever had. I am not surprised that it has won World'd Leading Heritage Hotel and in 2023 it was voted the world's No.1 Hotel on trip advisor.

Disliked: Nothing!

Liked: What I loved the most is how they fully embraced nature instead of trying to modernize everything excessively — it makes the entire experience even more beautiful and unique. The property is home to around 300 peacocks and so many different species of birds, which creates such a peaceful and magical atmosphere everywhere you walk. What makes it even more special is that this was a real palace transformed into a hotel. You can genuinely feel the history and authenticity in every corner. I absolutely loved how they preserved the old money luxury aesthetic — antique, elegant, timeless, yet still incredibly luxurious and refined. The hotel also offers so many beautiful activities and experiences. You can feed the peacocks, do a palace tour, henna, try pottery making, enjoy morning yoga, and so much more. There’s always something special to do while still feeling relaxed and immersed in the culture. I absolutely recommend staying here. It’s not just a hotel, it’s a full experience and one of those places you will always remember.
