“We are incredibly excited to welcome guests to Raffles Jaipur, the brand’s second property in India. At Raffles, we look for world-renowned destinations rich with history, beauty, and culture, which is what led us to grow our presence in Rajasthan – whose ancient heritage of forts and palaces continues to inspire and capture the imagination of international travelers. We thank Ratan Kant Sharma and our partners at Triton Hotels and Resorts for sharing a likeminded vision and commitment to luxury, helping us bring this extraordinary hotel to life,” said Omer Acar, CEO, Raffles Hotels & Resorts

The hotel, a short drive from Jaipur’s “Pink City” attractions, is a modern-day recreation of a palace and is hand-carved from pure white marble. Each hotel element was handcrafted by skilled artisans. Boasting only 50 guestrooms and suites, Raffles Jaipur offers an intimate experience. Each guestroom is unique in layout and décor and all offer an expansive balcony with an outdoor soaking tub or plunge pool. At this property only, the signature Raffles butlers provide guests with curated healing rituals traditional to Rajasthani culture. As at other Raffles hotels, they also meet guests’ every need.

“Every element of Raffles Jaipur has been thoughtfully considered, from the architecture and design to the culinary offerings and wellness experiences. We hope to inspire our guests to immerse themselves in the local Rajasthani culture, while inviting locals to experience their home through a lens that is distinct to Raffles,” said Binny Sebastian, general manager, Raffles Jaipur.
