Our Hotels

Few sights are as magical as Taj Lake Palace, which appears to float upon the surface of Lake Pichola. The hotel provides a jetty transfer for guests, which departs from City Palace several times daily. Constructed from marble during the 1740s, Taj Lake Palace has featured in many films, including James Bond’s, Octopussy in 1983.

Many luxury hotels claim to provide a stay fit for royalty, but Rambagh Palace has plenty of experience at the task. The palace, located eight kilometres outside of Jaipur’s city walls, was once the residence of the former Maharaja and his Queen. Since the building was converted into a hotel in 1957, it has hosted many notable guests including King Charles III and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. For the ultimate royal experience, ask your private butler to organise a horse and carriage ride.

​Jaipur city, a UNESCO World Heritage site, forms one vertex of India’s Golden Triangle circuit and is your gateway to Rajasthan. This palace hotel, a reincarnation of the royal mahals of Jaipur, is located in tranquil environs away from the hustle and bustle of the city.  It blends the splendour of Rajputana and Mughal architecture with pristine white exteriors embellished with ornate jaalis and silver-lined chhatris.

The Oberoi Amarvilas is not technically a palace, but earns its place on this list thanks to its grandeur and unobstructed views of the Taj Mahal, which is just 600 metres away. Each room is attended by a private butler ready to organise a private yoga lesson, or deliver a four-course meal to the balcony of your room.

The Taj commands a prominent position overlooking the Arabian Sea and the Gateway of India monument. The five-star establishment has hosted royalty, celebrities and dignitaries including Queen Elizabeth II, Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey ever since it opened in 1903. Nine of Mumbai’s most acclaimed restaurants are located within the hotel (spanning Japanese to Eastern Mediterranean offerings) – taking afternoon tea by a window in the Sea Lounge is a must.

To reach Haveli Dharampura, one must wander the laneways of Old Delhi on foot, past artisan craft stalls, street food vendors and the non-stop bustle of city life. Once inside, the stone walls create a sense of peace and tranquillity. Time your arrival for the weekend, when dances set to classical music are performed (and can be viewed from every floor), or venture beyond the palace walls to join the queue outside Karim’s, the city’s iconic 109-year-old restaurant that dishes up classic North Indian fare and is just an eight minute walk away.

At Rajmahal Palace RAAS no two rooms are the same. Welcoming spaces styled with pattern on pattern create an energising atmosphere. The palace, which is located 10 kilometres from Jaipur International Airport, has hosted Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, King Charles III and Princess Diana. Dine in at 51 Shades of Pink restaurant, which features locally sourced produce and vegetables grown in the hotel’s own kitchen garden.

At 475-years old, Samode Palace is a marvel in its own right. But what lends this hotel an atmosphere of serenity is its location, overlooking the Aravalli mountain range. The sublime view is best enjoyed at sunrise from the vantage point of the secluded infinity pool. Ask the concierge to organise a walking tour of the local village, where locally made textiles, art and jewellery are waiting to be discovered.

The golden sandstone facade of Umaid Bhawan Palace featured on the international stage in 2018 when Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra and musician Nick Jonas wed at the hotel. Situated atop Chittar Hill, the palace overlooks Jodhpur’s iconic blue buildings, as well as the magnificent 15th century structure, Mehrangarh Fort. Keep an eye out for resident peacocks while taking breakfast at the open-air cafe.

BrijRama Palace, which stands mighty on the serene banks of Darbhanga Ghat, is one of the oldest man-made structures in the city and is considered to be a top-tier luxury hotel in Varanasi. The palace is often praised for its striking architecture and design which mirrors the rich heritage and culture of the city that it calls home. One can see the influence of the Maratha Dynasty that was in power during the construction of the palace. This 210-year-old palace is the perfect choice for those who aspire to spend a holiday in royal comfort, removed from the daily hustle and bustle. Tourists and pilgrims often visit this city for spiritual healing and at BrijRama we promise the kind of spiritual healing you are seeking. Towering over the Ganges, BrijRama is conveniently located close to the tourist hotspots of Varanasi including Dashashwamedh Ghat and Vishwanath Temple.
