Spread in 47 acres of landscape gardens lies a palace like no other. Such is the beauty of this royal residence that it captures the beauty and grandeur of the bygone era whilst still preserving the rich cultural past of its erstwhile rulers. A beautiful hotel today, it was built as a hunting lodge in 1835 and converted to a palace in 1857 by Majaraja Sawai Man Singh II. Here, every room and suite reflects a world of royalty with its exquisite antiques, rich tapestry and paintings from an era gone by. The hotel, which was once the residence of the Maharaja of Jaipur, is just 11 km from the airport and is very close to the city centre. A beautiful ensemble and an architectural marvel would suitable describe this blend of Rajput and Mughal architecture, The Rambagh Palace.
