Sujan Raj Mahal is beyond opulence. Another of Jaipur’s ex-royal homes, this 15-room palace, right in the heart of the city, has been run as a hotel since 1991. Royal heritage remains –family antiques and artefacts litter the halls, while walls are lined with portraits of distinguished former guests such as Jackie Kennedy, the Shah of Iran, Lord Mountbatten, and every prominent member of the British Royal Family- but it is now mixed with contemporary colours and funky design tweaks. Rooms, all suites, are enormous; dining is of a regal standard; service is impeccable. All guests are served champagne on arrival as standard, setting the scene for indulgence which will continue throughout your stay.
