Experiences
Laze by the Art Deco pool, take in a polo match in the Royal Box or head out on a cultural tour at first light. Whatever your interests, our concierge will go out of their way to make it unforgettable.
Dining & Cuisine
The Colonnade: The Colonnade is open 24 hours for our resident guests and has a delightful menu of freshly prepared comfort food. The tall glass doors offer superb views of the palace lawns and gardens. Non-resident guests are welcome at certain times, but are required to make a reservation in advance.
51 Shades of Pink: 51 Shades of Pink is dedicated to the colour of Jaipur, which gives Rajasthan’s capital the name, the ‘Pink City’. This room is especially popular for breakfast as the morning light floods into its mirrored spaces.
The Orient Occident: The Orient Occident is another formal dining space within the palace and is a particular favourite of HH the Queen Mother, Rajmata Padmini Devi of Jaipur. The restaurant offers a wide-ranging menu that includes traditional recipes of the Jaipur region, now rarely encountered elsewhere.
Exploring the Pink City
Curated exploration of some of Jaipur’s most iconic places to visit in a day. After breakfast we proceed on a guided tour of the famed Amer Fort. This magnificent fort comprises an extensive palace complex, built from pale yellow and pink sandstone, and white marble, and is divided into four main sections, each with its own courtyard. A tour of the old town behind the Amer Fort has a lot to discover.
The tour then proceeds to the promenade of the Jal Mahal ‘Water Palace’ and the Hawa Mahal ‘Palace of Winds’. As our guest, you have the privilege of accessibility to private areas of the City Palace during your tour. Luncheon can be arranged at the Baradari, which is the signature restaurant at the Palace. Alternatively, we can pack you a sumptuous picnic basket that you can eat on the go. The tour continues with a visit to the Jantar Mantar observatory and to the bustling lanes of the old market.
Morning, Half Day and Full Day excursions can be arranged.
The Temples of Jaipur
The inner city of Jaipur is home to many a shrine, a temple, a place of worship. At dusk, bells ring, prayers are chanted and oil lamps flicker as the evening aarti happens in all the sanctums. This special walk through Chandni Chowk and the temple courtyards, is what connects the individual soul and the city. Thereafter, enter the gates of the City Palace, with a curated walk through the Miniature Painting gallery, that ends with a traditional palace dinner in the private pavilion of the Maharaja of Jaipur.
Afternoon Tea
Guests are welcome to enjoy their afternoon tea on the terraces and manicured lawns of Rajmahal Palace, in clement weather. Freshly baked goodies, which include the royal family’s favourites, are on the menu and also a selection of delicious teas, coffees and other beverages.
Amer Fort, UNESCO
A guided walk through history, led by the curator of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Amer Fort was built in 1592 by Raja Man Singh I and remained the capital of the Kachwaha dynasty till Jai Singh II planned and built the city of Jaipur. Here, red sandstone and marble come together influenced by Rajput and Mughal styles and aesthetics. Palaces, pavilions and courtyards embrace spectacular views of the erstwhile kingdom, transporting the visitor to another age and time. A wander through the Amer village afterwards leads you to a Museum of the famed woodblock printing on fabric that remains the great skill of Jaipur.
The Royal Polo Experience
(In season only)
Jaipur has a long and rich history of polo playing and the Jaipur Royal Family have themselves recorded some incredible polo feats over the last century. Over the course of the Polo Season (October to February), Jaipur hosts some prestigious and best-known championships of this “Sport of Kings”. As their guests you are welcome to share the Royal Family’s private box to witness a match. The Palace ADCs’ will be delighted to make arrangements for this.

Designed by Adil Ahmad
It is both a classical and a contemporary designed home within the walls of a royal palace. From first being conceived as a pleasure garden for a favourite Queen, this property, once on the outskirts of Jaipur and now at its core, became the British Residency, and then finally reverted back to being the private home of His Highness Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II of Jaipur.
For me, Rajmahal Palace epitomizes the power and sensibility of a ruling family that actively contributed and participated in the layered history of India. It is an extraordinary ‘home’ set in an extraordinary city that is a living museum without boundaries, embracing one and all, a celebration of a vibrant diversity. The painstakingly restored palace, a sparkling gem, embodies that ethos of Jaipur and its royal family, its glittering past and is now entering its gilded future.

ANNOUNCEMENT
SUJÁN RAJMAHAL PALACE, JAIPUR
20th of May 2020
After five extremely successful seasons, SUJÁN announces that Rajmahal Palace, Jaipur will cease to be a part of its collection of experiential hotels in Rajasthan.
In these five years under SUJÁN’s management, the Palace took its place among the very best of its genre, globally. Like the rest of our collection in Rajasthan – SUJÁN Sher Bagh, Ranthambhore, SUJÁN The Serai, Jaisalmer and SUJÁN JAWAI, Jawai Bandh – SUJÁN Rajmahal Palace too received overwhelming similar global acclaim in the media, featuring in every respectable travel and luxury magazine, both in print and online. The Palace-hotel won numerous awards, and was listed among the best hotels in the world, frequently among the top 10, and featured in the extremely coveted Condé Nast Traveller Gold List multiple times, including in 2020. The Palace also commanded some of the highest achieved rates in India and was a huge success right from its maiden season. It was admitted as a member of Relais & Chateaux, the world’s most prestigious association of hotels and restaurants; leaders in the art of refined hospitality, gastronomy and art de vivre, in its first season – a clear mark of excellence. Widely known to be one of the most beautiful hotels in the world, it adorns the cover of ‘Glorious Hotels in India’ and was featured in House & Garden’s Hotels by Design, in Architectural Digest and many more. In keeping with tradition, the Palace continued to play host to international royalty, heads of state and countless celebrities – be them actors, authors, designers, statesmen and captains of industry. The legendary parties too continued – from the annual Penguin-Random House celebration during the Jaipur Literature Festival to British Polo Day – and countless others. As we bid farewell to the Palace, we extend our gratitude to all our guests and patrons who were part of this wonderful journey and experienced the SUJÁN life in Jaipur with us.
“Built in 1729, The Rajmahal Palace has been a significant part of the history of the Jaipur Royal Family. We are incredibly grateful to SUJÁN to have been the custodians of this treasured asset since its extensive renovation five years ago. While we are sad to see them go, we look forward to continuing the legacy of The Rajmahal through its next chapter.”
PRINCESS DIYA KUMARI OF JAIPUR
“After an exhilarating tenure, on behalf of everyone at SUJÁN, I would like to thank the Royal Family of Jaipur for entrusting us with re-opening and managing one of their most treasured and beautiful Palaces that dates back to 1729. We wish the family and the Palace all success in the years to come.”
JAISAL SINGH
Founder & Chairman, SUJÁN
