Your guide to the best luxury hotels in Jaipur
Rambagh Palace Jaipur · RambaghWhich of the luxury hotels in Jaipur is the best hotel for you depends on how you travel. If you want to sleep within real palace walls, book the Rambagh Palace Jaipur, the former residence of the Maharajas of Jaipur, whose gardens are roamed by peacocks. Couples will find just 50 rooms and suites at the Raffles Jaipur, each with a balcony and an outdoor bathtub or plunge pool. For a special dinner, head to The Leela Palace Jaipur: at Jamavar you dine by candlelight beneath some 350,000 thikri mirrors. Families are well looked after at the Fairmont Jaipur, with a kids club, an outdoor pool and a hammam in the Ruhab Spa.At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.
Newly opened and reinvented: what’s changing at Jaipur’s luxury hotels
White marble, crafted by local artisans: the Raffles Jaipur reinterprets a zenana, the women’s quarters of a Mughal palace, and stays deliberately small with 50 rooms and suites. On your balcony there is an outdoor bathtub or a plunge pool, the Raffles Butler Service comes with every category, and in the evening you sit up on the roof at Sehara over Mediterranean food, next to the rooftop pool and looking out at the Aravalli hills. Since July 2024, it has been the second Raffles in India.
Raffles Jaipur · KukasSome guests still know The Leela Palace Jaipur as the JW Marriott Jaipur Resort & Spa. After a comprehensive renovation of both product and service, it reopened on February 22, 2021 as the first Leela in Rajasthan, and the Mohan Mahal restaurant became Jamavar, where you now dine on royal Indian cuisine by candlelight. Book one of the 88 villas and you get into The Peacock Lounge, which is open only to villa guests and members and serves all three meals. Thikri mirror work, Shekhawati paintings and silver-clad domes accompany you throughout the hotel.
The Fairmont Jaipur has been around a little longer: it opened in August 2012 as the first Fairmont in India, now has 245 rooms and reinterprets a Mughal fort with Rajput influences against the Aravalli hills. Its kitchen has been rethought: Zarin is now Zarin The Pan Asian, serving dim sum and Szechuan dishes, and in winter Zia opens in the citrus garden with Mughal grill and American BBQ.
These luxury hotels in Jaipur have a pool – and this is how their spas differ
All five hotels in this selection have a pool. If you are looking for a 5-star hotel in Jaipur with a pool, look at the setting, the temperature and whether you share it with anyone.
The Oberoi Rajvilas Jaipur · PoolOur tip for long evenings by the pool is The Oberoi Rajvilas Jaipur: the heated 21-meter pool has elephant water spouts, mashaal torches are lit in the evening, and private service at the poolside is available on request. At The Leela Palace Jaipur the Jharokha Bar belongs to the main pool, and the Royal Villas have a private plunge pool with a Jacuzzi.
Rambagh Palace Jaipur · SpaIf you want a view while you swim, book the Raffles Jaipur: the pool sits on the roof, right next to the Sehara restaurant and looking out over the Aravalli hills. At the Rambagh Palace Jaipur you swim in the outdoor pool in the palace gardens or in the indoor pool, and the Fairmont Jaipur adds a Jacuzzi overlooking the gardens and courtyard to its outdoor pool.
The spas of the luxury hotels in Jaipur follow five different ideas as well. If you are looking for heat, head to the Ruhab Spa at the Fairmont Jaipur, with a hammam, steam room, sauna and a hot spring bath. At the Raffles Spa of the Raffles Jaipur, hot and cold mineral pools alternate across some 620 m², with yoga and a gym on top.
- Breakfast for two, every day
- Room upgrade subject to availability
- Hotel credit, e.g. US$100
- Early check-in and late check-out
- VIP service and personal advice
- Points and status in the hotel programme
For calm in the Indian tradition, we recommend Asmi by Oberoi at The Oberoi Rajvilas Jaipur: the spa is reserved for hotel guests, treatments are booked 24 hours in advance, and yoga and meditation take place in the gardens. At The Leela Palace Jaipur the Aujasya concept is rooted in ancient Indian healing. If you prefer to stay active, the Rambagh Palace Jaipur adds yoga, tennis, squash, badminton, croquet and a 9-hole putting green to its sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi.
For cool winter evenings
In winter the evenings in Jaipur turn cool. That is when two addresses really pay off: the pool at The Oberoi Rajvilas Jaipur is heated, and the Rambagh Palace Jaipur has an indoor pool alongside its garden pool. If you would rather swim entirely on your own, book a category with a private pool – at The Oberoi Rajvilas in selected rooms, tents and villas, at The Leela Palace in the Royal Villas. Our travel advisors will tell you which category suits you.
Dining in Jaipur’s luxury hotels: royal cuisine, a steam train and bars among the books
Two dining rooms in Jaipur are a reason for the evening in themselves. At Jamavar in the 5-star hotel The Leela Palace Jaipur you dine by candlelight only, beneath some 350,000 hand-cut Thikri mirrors and 18-carat gold leaf, accompanied by live instrumental music. The menu follows India’s royal kitchens, with dishes from the shikaar tradition and ceremonial banquets, plus thalis. At the Rambagh Palace Jaipur, Suvarna Mahal serves royal recipes in the former ballroom, beneath frescoes and chandeliers. The palace grounds are also home to Steam, a restaurant in a restored steam train, and champagne tea is served on the Verandah.
Rambagh Palace Jaipur · DiningAt the Raffles Jaipur, Arkaa serves progressive North Indian cuisine in the style of the North-West Frontier, with vegetables at its heart; up on the roof, Sehara serves Mediterranean cuisine with fresh pasta and seafood made from local ingredients. At The Oberoi Rajvilas Jaipur, Surya Mahal, the “Sun Palace” with an indoor hall and a courtyard, is open from 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and Raj Mahal serves Indian specialties in the evening from 7 to 10 p.m.
The Fairmont Jaipur has Zoya, an all-day restaurant with five areas, including dining rooms in Mughal tents; Zarin The Pan Asian serves dim sum and Szechuan dishes. At The Leela Palace, the Aravalli Dining Room looks out over the hills, and the Amber Terrace brings together dim sum, sushi, robata and teppanyaki under the open sky.
At no extra cost: you pay the same rate as booking direct with the hotel – the suitespot benefits come on top, free of charge.
For the rest of the evening, the luxury hotels in Jaipur have a striking number of library bars. Our tip: the Rajwada Library Bar at The Oberoi Rajvilas, where you sit among leather-bound books and lithographs of historic Maharajas, with chess and backgammon, from 5 to 11 p.m. If you like cognac and single malts, take a seat at Aza at the Fairmont, a Regency-style library bar; next door is the Cigar Diwan cigar lounge.
For cocktails, we recommend the Amber Terrace at The Leela Palace: it mixes root-to-fruit cocktails and is one of the few bars in India with a rotary evaporator. The Raffles has its Writers Bar and the Safir Tea & Champagne Lounge with afternoon tea and tea-infused cocktails, and at Rambagh Palace, the Polo Bar awaits.
Zia only opens in winter
The Zia garden restaurant at the Fairmont Jaipur opens only in the winter months: in the evening, Mughal grill and American BBQ are served in the citrus garden. If you are traveling at that time, plan one evening for it – and a second for Jamavar at The Leela Palace Jaipur, where there is nothing but candlelight.
Palaces with a past: from the nursemaid’s garden house to the temple in the resort
The story of the Rambagh Palace Jaipur begins in 1835 with a garden house for the nursemaid of Prince Ram Singh II. It became a royal hunting lodge and, from 1925, the main residence of Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II, extended in the Indo-Saracenic style to plans by Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob. After independence the Maharaja had his palace converted – into India’s first luxury palace hotel. Taj has run it since 1972.
The hotel is surrounded by 47 acres of Mughal gardens where peacocks roam. It has 90 rooms and butler service, and if you are traveling with children you will find a kids’ club and babysitting here.
The Oberoi Rajvilas Jaipur, a 5-star hotel, tells its history differently. It is one of Oberoi’s first “Vilas” resorts and was built on the model of a Rajput palace complex: domed pavilions, sandstone paths and pools of water across 32 acres of gardens. On the grounds stands a Shiva temple some 300 years old.
Award-winning luxury hotels in Jaipur: Michelin Keys and international honors
Michelin Keys rate hotels, not restaurants. In Jaipur two hotels hold two Michelin Keys: The Leela Palace Jaipur, a 5-star hotel recognized in the 2026 India guide, and the Raffles Jaipur, which received its two Keys in 2025 and 2026. The Oberoi Rajvilas Jaipur holds one Michelin Key.
The Leela Palace Jaipur · KukasOn top of that come readers’ awards with international weight. The Oberoi Rajvilas Jaipur was voted “Best Hotel in the World” at the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2024, and Travel + Leisure lists it as “Best Resort in India” in 2026. The Rambagh Palace Jaipur was named the best hotel in the world by Tripadvisor with the Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best 2023; at the Condé Nast Traveller India Readers’ Awards 2024 it was voted “Favourite Indian Heritage Hotel”, and the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards 2019 list it among the Best Hotels in the World.

- Early check-in and late check-out
- VIP service and personal advice
- Points and status in the hotel programme
If you are looking among the luxury hotels in Jaipur for a top-level hotel and restaurant at the same time, the easiest way is to combine the two: Jamavar beneath the Thikri mirrors at The Leela Palace or Arkaa with its progressive North Indian cuisine at the Raffles – two hotels with two Michelin Keys each.
Where to stay in Jaipur: close to the Pink City or in front of the Aravalli hills – the right location for your 5-star hotel
The five hotels are spread across three locations, and the choice depends on your plans for the day.
Raffles Jaipur · KukasIn Rambagh, on Bhawani Singh Road south of the old town, the Rambagh Palace Jaipur sits amid its palace gardens. From here, Hawa Mahal, the City Palace, Jantar Mantar and the bazaars of the Pink City are your program for the day. Our recommendation for anyone who wants to stay right in the city.
The Oberoi Rajvilas Jaipur · Jagdish ColonyIn Kukas, on the road to Delhi in front of the Aravalli hills, three hotels sit close together; here you stay with plenty of space around you and reach Amber Fort quickly in the morning. Our tip: The Leela Palace Jaipur, with views of the hills, around 30 kilometers or about an hour from the airport. Couples book the Raffles Jaipur with just 50 rooms and suites, families the Fairmont Jaipur with its kids’ club.
On Goner Road on the eastern edge of the city, The Oberoi Rajvilas Jaipur lies in its 32 acres of gardens, around 15 kilometers and 30 minutes from the airport. Our recommendation for anyone looking for peace and quiet who wants to sleep in a luxury tent for once.

Kukas: three hotels, three scales
Only 85 € separates the three resorts in Kukas in price, but in character they are far apart. The Fairmont Jaipur from 122 €, with 245 rooms, a kids’ club and Fairmont Gold, is the hotel for families and club guests. The Leela Palace Jaipur from 190 € focuses on 88 villas, butlers and the Peacock Lounge. The Raffles Jaipur from 207 € remains a small-scale hotel with 50 rooms.

When it’s at its most beautiful: from October to March, with mild, clear days and cool evenings; in mid-January the kite festival for Makar Sankranti fills the sky above the old town. When to get up early: from April to June – visit the forts early in the morning and keep the afternoons for the pool and garden. When the city turns green: during the monsoon from July to September, when the lakes fill up and Jaipur celebrates the Teej festival.
How long to stay at your 5-star hotel in Jaipur: two to three nights – a day for the Pink City, a morning at Amber Fort and an evening in a palace garden. Jaipur is often part of the Golden Triangle with Delhi and Agra.
