The Oberoi Rajvilas

Fortress walls gleam white after dark, enclosing an 18th-century Hindu temple rising from a lotus pond, and the whole scene looks less like a hotel than a painting someone decided to inhabit. This Jaipur resort holds a Michelin Key and leans hard into fantasy, with five staff per guest, silk-roofed tents fitted with claw-foot tubs and air conditioning, and candlelit dinners on handmade linen. For anyone unbothered by being waited on relentlessly, it rewards handsomely.
