Jai Mahal Palace

Since its construction in 1745, Jai Mahal Palace has been a central part of Jaipur’s royal history, serving as the residence of three Prime Ministers of the princely state. Over the centuries, the palace witnessed grand gatherings and quiet moments alike in its spacious halls and open courtyards, but time had begun to take its toll on the structure. Carefully restored and recently refurbished by the Taj Group, every detail was preserved to maintain its rich connection to history and heritage while adding all the comforts of modern luxury.

Today, as a five-star Taj heritage hotel, Jai Mahal Palace lets guests step into history, experience the royal atmosphere, and enjoy every convenience of contemporary life. Recognized as one of India’s best hotels by the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards 2025, it continues to celebrate Jaipur’s timeless elegance.

The Jai Mahal Palace is a striking example of Indo-Saracenic architecture, a style that beautifully fuses elements of both Mughal and Rajput design. The palace is a reflection of history and architectural grandeur, with its structure featuring a large complex of regal rooms, charming colonnades, carved arches, and latticed windows, all set around spacious courtyards.

The palace is set amidst several acres of beautifully landscaped Mughal gardens, which provide a serene and quiet escape. A distinctive feature of the grounds is a tiered waterway that flows past grand stone pavilions and ultimately into fountain pools. Guests can also enjoy a luxurious swimming pool, perfect for relaxing. The palace is designed to be welcoming and accessible for all guests. Rooms feature lowered bathroom sinks, toilets equipped with grab rails, and wheelchair-accessible facilities, ensuring comfort for all.
