Alila Fort Bishangarh

A restored 18th-century fort that offers magnificent views of the countryside,

Alila Fort Bishangarh is one of the most atmospheric hotels in the country. It is a unique example of the architecture of the Jaipur Gharana, with hints of Mughal and British influences. Owing to its remote location in the village of Bishangarh in Rajasthan, this fort-hotel allows you to disconnect from the modern world. Get a taste of the local culture with immersive experiences, such as a Rajasthani Rasoda masterclass or pottery with local artisans. Or unwind in style at Spa Alila. No matter what you choose to do, your journey is bound to be memorable. alilahotels.com

Rajmahal Palace RAAS Jaipur

Built in 1729, the original Rajmahal Palace was the home of Maharaja Sawai Man Jai Singh and Maharani Gayatri Devi for many years. It is the newest addition to RAAS’s portfolio of historic properties, and is now called Rajmahal Palace RAAS Jaipur. The hotel has 13 rooms and suites, each furnished with a mix of family heirlooms and contemporary artefacts. Some have been named after celebrity visitors, including John F Kennedy, Lord Mountbatten, and Princess Diana of Wales, who once stayed here. Beyond the regal rooms are magnificent gardens and an art deco-style swimming pool. And the walls of the palace tell stories of the Pink City. raashotels.com
