Sharing its title with one of the touristiest destinations in Jaipur, the City Palace Hotel is known for its warm hospitality and efficient staff that makes one feel completely at home. To welcome the guests, the City Palace is lit up in the evening and the elephants in colourful trappings greet the guests at the entrance, as they are led into a 18th century room and given a taste of true Rajasthani royalty.
Accommodation
Although not a guesthouse in the strict sense of the term, the place does have elegant enclosures that are only opened for the special guests known to the royal family. The guests often enjoy their cocktails here and then proceed for dinner to another fabulously beautiful room, decorated in the early 19th century, with gold leaf floral motifs on its walls and ceilings. A blissful ambience reminiscent of the 19th century is created, leaving the guests completely awestruck by its sheer opulence.
Dining
In the splendid room, which has walls, adorned with gold leaf motif and Mughal paintings, the guests are treated to a truly royal treat that is sumptuous in every way and is served on the magnificent table, which was originally made for the Maharaja of Jaipur. The guests can either choose a traditional 'thal' or relish a four course continental meal while enjoying a live performance of Instrumental music or Rajasthani Folk dances.
Choicest cocktails at the Royal Pavilion, which faces the beautiful Jai Niwas Garden, and offers an absolutely fantastic view of the old buildings of Jaipur, are also available to add more lures to the hospitality of City Palace. Dinner can even be arranged in the Banquet Hall where delectable cuisines are served to the guests on their table as they are left impressed by the splendour of the magnified 16th century touches to the room.
