The Oberoi Rajvilas, Jaipur
A Serene Royal Retreat in the Pink City
The Oberoi Rajvilas feels less like a hotel and more like a private royal estate—one that happens to sit just outside the vibrant energy of Jaipur. Set within 32 acres of landscaped gardens, reflection pools, and ancient temples, the property channels the grandeur of Rajasthan’s princely past while offering a sense of space, stillness, and seclusion that’s increasingly rare in India’s most colorful city.
The architecture is classically Rajasthani, but never overdone: pink sandstone pavilions, domed ceilings, and softly lit pathways create an atmosphere that’s refined rather than theatrical. Accommodations range from elegant rooms to secluded luxury tents inspired by the Maharajas’ traveling camps, each offering privacy, comfort, and a strong connection to the surrounding gardens. Days unfold unhurriedly here—morning visits to Amber Fort and the City Palace balanced by afternoons at the pool, intimate dining experiences, and evenings lit by torchlight and birdsong.
Rajvilas is the perfect counterpoint to Jaipur’s sensory overload. It gives you full access to the Pink City’s history, markets, and monuments—then welcomes you back into a world of hushed luxury and gracious hospitality. In a journey filled with icons, this is the place that restores your equilibrium, proving that true luxury in India isn’t always louder—it’s calmer, deeper, and more enduring.
