Rajvilas Jaipur

Rajvilas is a unique way to experience Jaipur, one of India's most vibrant and exotic destinations. A luxury hotel with its own distinctive character, it revives the gracious lifestyles of India's legendary Rajput princess.

Rajvilas is, quite perfectly, the India of our imagination with all her beauties distilled and dusted down, plus the conveniences and the luxuries that only a modern mind could dream of. Fortress walls gleam white in the moonlight surrounding an 18th century Hindu temple rising out of a lotus strewn pond. Carved elephants rear at entrances, and fountains glitter lavishly with hand painted blue tiles. Dancers perform by candlelight, as you dine off of hand painted tablecloths. Men stalk the grounds in uniform, shooing the birds away. The beauty is almost unreal - not the ravaged beauty of history, but the unspoiled beauty of dreams. So it's not surprising to find out that most of Rajvilas is only five years old, though constructed using traditional techniques like camel-pulled mills. It's also not surprising that the architects took more of their inspiration from paintings than real life. This isn't authenticity, it's fantasy, but it definitely feels, and looks good.

All rooms have large four poster beds and sunken marble baths overlooking private walled gardens. Interiors of the Royal villa highlight the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail that distinguish the hotel. Located in thirty-two acres of beautiful gardens, pools and fountains in the peaceful Rajasthan countryside, eight kilometres from the Pink City of Jaipur, Rajvilas is an oasis of elegance and luxury, offering consistently high standards of facilities and services that distinguish Oberoi Hotels around the world. Air-conditioned luxury tents have embroidered interior canopies, old style baths and outdoor decks. The Rajwada library bar and the Surya Mahal Restaurant.

A visit to Jaipur unfolds with private excursions to its many exotic attractions. Palaces, forts, festivals and bazaars. Or a day of pampering at The Spa with holistic, ayurvedic and Western relaxation and beauty treatments. A unique way of life awaits discovery in this magical region of Rajasthan. Rajvilas is the perfect setting from which to begin and end your journey.
