Do yourself a favor and stay here. The rooms and public spaces are lovely. From the manager on down to the cleaning personnel the service is outstanding, warm, individualized, and professional. The food is excellent. It can't get any better.

The Rambagh totally lives up to one's expectations of a Grand Palace. Beautiful grounds with peacocks wandering around, large plush bedrooms with walk-in closets and marble bathrooms, attentive service, great food in the restaurants. I would have loved the swimming pool to be heated - but other than that - Perfect.

We felt like sultans, staying in this former Jaipur royal palace. The breathtakingly beautiful courtyards and grounds, and period-decorated but fully comfortable, large rooms provide the setting. The staff completes the picture, from the groundskeepers with flags prowling the courtyards to shoo pigeons away to the folks in the hallways who are always willing to drop what they are doing to show you to a destination.

Unfortunately, the food did not match up to the rest of the experience. The buffet breakfast selection was rather limited, perhaps because they are happy to serve you from the menu. The dinner cuisine in the Indian dining room seemed dumbed down for foreign tastes, except for the dish billed as the hottest, which was indeed hot but otherwise flavorless.

We enjoyed the shops at the hotel . Although they weren't cheap, they were not as exorbitantly priced as we would have expected, especially after hard bargaining produced discounts of 40% or so.

This hotel was a magical stop on a 13-night tour of India before attending a wedding in Mumbai. Prior to arriving in Jaipur, we stayed for one night at the Oberoi in Agra - also an amazing hotel. We loved the Rambagh Palace! It is a stunning property - from the huge room, to the flower arrangements, to the candles at night, to the dancers/musical entertainment, to the warm greeting with garlands/drinks - the whole experience was once-in-a-lifetime. We stayed for 2 nights. I only wish we had stayed another day to take advantage of all they had to offer - lovely pools, 3 restaurants, spa, etc. We definitely could have used it as a "chill out day" in the middle of our trip. Recommend taking the historical tour of the hotel - offered nightly, followed by a glass of complimentary champagne in the bar. The Indian fine dining restaurant was also great.
