Rambagh Palace

First built as a modest home for the favourite handmaiden of the late Gayatri Devi - Maharani of Jaipur - the property was converted into a palace in 1925, and housed the royal family for nearly 50 years. This heritage property has 46 rooms and 33 luxury suites. Admirers of the late queen should stay in the Maharani Suite, which was designed for her by Hammond's of London, her favourite designer. The Suryavanshi Suite, resplendent with its high ceilings, antique furniture and fabulous city views is another great accommodation option.
