Palaces & Havelis of India – Jaipur - Jaimahal Palace



JAI MAHAL PALACE, Jaipur
Jai Mahal Palace, Jacob Road, Civil Lines, Jaipur-302006, Rajasthan

The Jai Mahal Palace (literally, the Palace of Victory) was built in the 18th century by Hargovind Natani, a powerful chief of the Jaipur forces. Constructed in a typical palace style with high domes, chhattries and cupolas with intricate latticework done in the Rajasthani tradition, it was taken over by the Taj Group in the early 80s. The palace has been painstakingly restored to its former glory. The L-shaped palace has most of the rooms overlooking a beautiful garden which replicates an 18th century garden laid out by a Mughal emperor, 200 kms east of Jaipur.

The interiors have been done tastefully with a lot of attention to detail. The suites are elegant and luxurious and have very interesting 19th century imprints of Rajput architecture by Sir Swinton Jacob. Other interesting features in the palace are old crystal mirrors and chandeliers, miniature paintings and tapestries, stained glass panels and marble inlay work.

Special Features: The hotel organizes cultural programmes in the evenings. Guests can either enjoy these in the lawns outside or else spend a quiet, undisturbed evening in their rooms. Solar heated swimming pools and beauty parlour. Tours to places of interest can be arranged.

Facilities available: 102 rooms including 5 special suites. One bar, one lounge that serves tea, coffee and snacks and one multicuisine restaurant.
