Rajmahal Palace Raas

This place is magical. The most beautiful pink Palace. Beautiful gardens and the most gorgeous rooms and suites. A gorgeous pool to sit and relax too. Unique as it has had a rich history of VIP’s staying there, with a gorgeous collection of photos. The service was so good, Adhi was incredible at providing amazing service and engaged with such a great sense of humour. Jyoti helped us with all of our needs in settling us in and anything else we needed. We would definitely come back and recommend it to our friends.

How on earth is this place not ranked one of the 5 best hotels in Jaipur (note to TripAdvisor: please check your algorithm) ! The Rajmahal Palace in Jaipur was chosen by our travel agent with instructions from us to find boutique accommodations that remind us, upon waking, that we are in a far away place. The Rajmahal , at 13 rooms, was the smallest hotel we stayed during our 3 week stay in northern India. It is a "heritage property" , previously occupied and currently owned by the royal family and now operated by the RAAS group.The size of the property created an intimate experience. We were treated with such warmth and attention by the staff that our stay felt almost familial in nature. This helped allay our concerns about recreating the “colonial” experience—although my comment might be viewed as disingenuous given that we were staying in the “Princess of Wales Suite”. The common rooms are jewel toned , opulent and cozy. I even took pictures of the velvet turquoise sofa with fuchsia ribbing and jewel toned floral pillows to remind me to break out of my tone on tone decorating style. Upon entering our room and seeing the 2 massive chandeliers, impossibly tall ceilings, blue floral wall paper a sea of marble flooring, my husband said “we can never tell our children about this”. First, I took a bath in the palatial marble bathroom. The shower and toilet were on the other side of the long rectangular room and divided by the entryway, so I could settle in without worrying that my luxurious experience would compete with my husband’s bodily needs. Afterwards, we headed to dinner. We chose to have dinner on the lawn, surrounded by elevated fire pits that somehow always managed to blow the smoke away from us. Under the evening sky, with the sound and smell of a cracking fire we met the person who would elevate our stay from wonderful to incredible: Abhi. Up until now, we were bluffing our way through meals. “This looks good” turned into massive dinners and overeating. After 10 days of feeling uncomfortable, we decided to yell “uncle” and ask for help, Abhi, the food and beverage manager, came to the rescue. It started with breakfast. My stomach was uneasy after a particularly large dinner the night before. I told him of my condition, he said he would order for me. Out came poha and his grandmother’s remedy for a queasy stomach: tea made from fennel and carom seeds. The tea was delicious and did the trick. Poha became my new breakfast order ***** with pearl millet porridge which he suggested as an alternative. After breakfast, we no longer made an attempt to order. We searched the staff for Abhi and asked him to order for us. We had some of the best meals of our stay under his guidance. He pointed us to local specialties and even offered the services of one of his servers who made a wicked “sleepy tea” Abhi was also responsible for the cocktail menu, which I found to be one of the best during our travels. In this area, I am a b

One of the most memorable stays of our life. This venue is the best in hospitality & we will aways remember being treated like royalty! The Queen Elizabeth Suite was so nice. Before arriving the staff, especially Jyoti, was available to answer all our questions. She made sure our stay was nothing less than perfect. The vegetable garden, the pool & the restaurants were all top notch. In the heart of Jaipur, this is your place to stay if you like boutique hotels that pamper you and make your stay unforgettable. Thanks again Jyoti!

My sister Viviana and I arrived at the hotel and were greeted as if they had been waiting for us our whole lives, with love, dedication, pride in serving, trying to make everything as good as possible for us. We experienced something truly amazing; they accompanied us to all the historical sites we visited. Most importantly, everyone who works at the hotel feels like it's their own and wants to provide the best service. I highly recommend staying at the Rajmahal Palace, especially because it's a RAAS Hotel. We enjoyed an excellence that was very particular and very professional!

I was looking for an upscale small hotel and couldn’t have chosen better. This hotel is a sophisticated 13 suites former palace in a central location (10 minutes by car to the center) with a beautiful garden and pool. The restaurants and the decor are a show a part! Beautifully decorated and delicious food. The staff is impeccable. I cannot wait to come back.
