Eight kilometers outside Jaipur’s storied walls sits Rambagh Palace — a property with quite the glow-up story. Built in 1835 as a humble home for the queen’s favorite handmaiden, it was upgraded to a royal hunting lodge in 1887 when the surrounding forest made it the perfect spot for a little wild pursuit. Apparently, once you go palace, you never go back.
By the early 20th century, renowned architect Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob gave it a full royal makeover, transforming the lodge into a grand residence fit for the Maharaja of Jaipur himself. Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II called it home until 1957 — then, in a move that would make any real estate agent weep with joy, converted it into a luxury hotel.
Taj Hotels and Resorts swooped in by 1972, and the rest is hospitality history. Today, the “Jewel of Jaipur” continues to roll out the red carpet — because when you’ve been this fabulous for this long, why stop now?
