Overview

Discover Rajasthan

The land of maharajas still lives in its palaces — many now remarkable hotels — and in the bazaars, crafts and desert landscapes of Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur and Jaisalmer.

A royal road

Rajasthan is India at its most theatrical. Jaipur's pink-hued old city and Amber Fort, Jodhpur's blue lanes beneath the mighty Mehrangarh, Udaipur's lake palaces and Jaisalmer's golden fort rising from the Thar — each city has its own character, and together they make one of the world's great road journeys.

Stay in history

Many of Rajasthan's finest hotels are former royal residences and havelis, restored with care and staffed by families who have served them for generations. We choose properties for atmosphere as much as comfort, and balance grand palace stays with smaller heritage homes where the hosts become part of the story.

Craft, cuisine and the desert

Block printing in Bagru, blue pottery in Jaipur, puppetry and folk music by firelight in the dunes — the region's crafts are best experienced with the people who make them. Rajasthani thalis, laal maas and dal baati churma are worth the journey alone.

  • Ideal for multi-generational families and international guests
  • Exceptional palace venues for weddings and corporate celebrations
