Jai Mahal Palace

Eighteen acres of manicured gardens in the middle of Jaipur sounds like a fantasy, but the Taj group does tend to start with actual palaces. This hundred-room luxury hotel wears its Rajasthani architecture with a colonial-era accent, and the modern comforts feel genuinely at home inside the old bones. Dining, a spa, yoga, and camel-buggy rides for when the pool feels too ordinary. A Michelin Selected Hotel.
