Raffles, Jaipur

Raffles Jaipur is perfectly situated to be your tranquil retreat as you journey around India's Golden Triangle of Delhi, Jaipur and Agra – and indeed it has a touch of the Taj Mahal in its gleaming white beauty. The many rich cultural delights of the Pink City of Jaipur – so painted in honour of the Prince of Wales's visit in 1876 – are just 20 km away; and the legacy of the maharajas fortresses and palaces is all around, including the famous Amber Fort, just on the doorstep. Such regal figures of history would be delighted to learn that guests of Raffles Jaipur all enjoy the personalised services of the legendary Raffles Butlers. Jaipur is a one-hour flight from Delhi.
