Palaces

Built in 1745, Jai Mahal Palace once served as the residence of three Prime Ministers of Jaipur. Later restored by the Taj Group, this five-star heritage hotel features Indo-Saracenic architecture and 18 acres of Mughal gardens. Guests can unwind at J Wellness Circle, dine on royal and global flavors, or host lavish weddings on the palace lawns. The royal-style welcome, with elephants, horses, and folk music, adds a touch of grandeur to every arrival. You can also join a guided heritage walk through the palace or explore nearby cultural treasures like Amber Fort, City Palace, and Johari Bazaar. Named Best Hotels in India by the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards 2025, Jai Mahal Palace reflects Jaipur’s heritage.

Magical and enchanting are two words that could fittingly describe this floating palace hotel out on Lake Pichola in Udaipur. Originally named Jag Niwas, the heritage property now known as Taj Lake Palace opened its doors in 1963 under the care of Maharana Bhagwat Singh Mewar. Luxury and history come together to create a peaceful paradise surrounded by the serenity of the lake and the majesty of Udaipur’s beloved heritage sites. Travelers are treated as esteemed royal guests, with the classic architecture and posh antique decor making them feel like they’ve traveled back in time. Awarded three Michelin Keys, this is definitely one of those dream holidays you might not want to return to reality from.
