About This Guide

The Amer Fort is Jaipur's most spectacular monument — a seemingly impossible confection of latticed screens, mirrored rooms, and elephant stairs climbing above the lake. Staying in Amer village or at the hill properties above it provides direct access to the fort at dawn, before the tour buses arrive, and to the quieter scenic routes through the Aravalli foothills.

Insider Tips

  • 1

    Enter the Amer Fort via the Suraj Pol (Sun Gate) at 8am for the best light and minimal crowds.

  • 2

    The walk from Amer Fort up to Jaigarh Fort through the walls is spectacular — about 45 minutes each way.

  • 3

    Nahargarh Fort above Jaipur offers the finest sunset panorama over the Pink City — go an hour before dusk.

The Oberoi Rajvilas — Amer
$$$$ Ultra-luxury
★ 9.8

Fifteen kilometres from the city, the Oberoi Rajvilas is the supreme expression of Rajasthan as designed fantasy — 32 acres of manicured gardens, private pool villas with lily-pond terraces, and a Rajput fort at its heart. The spa treatments using local saffron and rose extracts, the elephant polo evenings, and the silence of the surrounding countryside make it the ultimate Rajasthan luxury experience.

Pink City (Old City)

RAAS Jaipur

RAAS Jaipur is the old city's most refined luxury offering — a 200-year-old haveli sensitively updated by Alberto Pinto with a contemporary design sensibility that respects the original Rajput architecture. The 39 rooms and suites frame the Nahargarh Fort above and the havelis below; the rooftop pool and the Dal-Baati-Churma restaurant are the city's best arguments for staying inside the walls.

Tree of Life Resort & Spa Jaipur — Chomu Road
$$$ Upscale
★ 9.1

Ten minutes from the airport and surrounded by the Aravalli foothills, Tree of Life is Jaipur's finest spa resort — pool villas set among bougainvillea gardens, an Ayurvedic wellness centre with seriously trained therapists, and views of the Nahargarh hills that make every room feel like a private countryside retreat. The complimentary yoga sessions and organic kitchen garden complete a compelling wellness proposition.

Pink City (Old City)

Samode Haveli

Inside the old city walls, Samode Haveli is a living museum of Rajasthani aristocratic architecture — 200-year-old frescoed chambers, hand-painted ceilings, and a series of courtyards that step back through the centuries as you ascend. The rooftop pool overlooking the old city's terracotta skyline is one of the most evocative in India, and breakfast in the zenana courtyard is a daily ceremony worth waking for.

Alsisar Haveli — Bani Park
$$ Mid-range
★ 9

An atmospheric 1892 haveli converted by the Shekhawati royal family into a guesthouse of considerable heritage charm — frescoed walls, latticed windows, a courtyard pool, and the sort of personal, family-run hospitality that no corporate hotel chain has ever successfully replicated. It is exceptional value in a city where it is easy to pay six times as much for a fraction of the soul.
