The Raj Palace in Jaipur
About Raj Palace Jaipur
Built in 1727, the Raj Palace was one of the city’s first grand mansions (Havelis). Today, it stands as a breathtaking museum-hotel that has been meticulously restored to showcase the sheer opulence of the Thakur Sahibs of Chomu.
As a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, it offers an intimate yet incredibly grand experience that has earned it the title of “World’s Leading Heritage Hotel” for over a decade.
