In 1997 the Hotel Raj Palace was renovated by the family and restored to its original glory and is now a luxurious heritage hotel. They offer a gym, shopping arcade, business centre as well as 38 suites each with a different theme and interior. The Raj Palace Hotel was the first centrally air-conditioned heritage hotel of the country as well as the first with an elevator which connected all floors. The hotel has room service, a restaurant, internet connection, bar and reading hall. They also have a doctor on call.

This is a delightful palace which was built in 1728 . This was Jaipurs first mansion (haveli) and it was built by the Thakur Mohan Singhii of Chaumoo, Prime Minister of the Raj. Throughout the years during the Moghul King Aurangzeb to the time of Empire, many Kings and Queens and noted guests stayed at the Mansion. Today the Palace is a hotel.

Lovely four days spent at Raj Palace, apart from a mishap when rickshaw deposited us at another Raj hotel (now closed) in the middle of nowhere in the dark of rush-hour Jaipur!!

Directions: Just outside the gate on AMER road.
