Rajmahal Palace RAAS

Rajmahal Palace RAAS is the small royal house on Sardar Patel Marg in C Scheme, thirteen keys in a palace the hotel dates to 1729 and describes as a home of Sawai Jai Singh and, for many years, Maharani Gayatri Devi. RAAS has run it since 1 April 2021. The suites mix family pieces with a loud Art Deco hand, and some are named for former guests, including Queen Elizabeth II. The Michelin hotel guide gives the property one key. That is a stay distinction, not a star on a restaurant. Dinner in the building is 51 Shades of Pink for a formal Jaipur menu, or the Colonnade if you would rather not dress for a palace twice. There is a pool in the garden and a polo bar. Thirteen keys is the whole point and the whole problem: the house disappears faster than Rambagh, especially from October to March, when Jaipur weddings take every palace that still looks like one.

Use the hotel car for Amer at opening. MI Road is the easier errand. If you wanted lawns, peacocks, and a large dining room with a closed-shoe rule, Rambagh is the other Jaipur palace, and it is a different week.
