Anantara Jewel Bagh Jaipur

Jali screens filter the afternoon light into geometric patterns across carved archways and ornate tiled floors, which sets the tone for what this palatial resort on Jaipur's quiet outskirts is doing. Rooms come with hand-painted headboards depicting cranes in flight; suites open onto terraces overlooking the amber skyline. Three dining venues, a mirror-palace cocktail bar, and an Anantara Spa round out a stay that takes Rajasthani craftsmanship as its organizing principle, not its decor budget.
