7. Anantara’s Palatial Jewel is in Jaipur

Anantara Jewel Bagh Jaipur opens a unique gateway to authentic flavours, stories, and artistry of Jaipur.

What does it take to stand out from an already coveted line of luxury hotels in a city as rich in heritage and grandeur? Perhaps it’s an architectural marvel that overlays royal design with immersive cultural experiences. Or a level of personalised service so exquisite, it feels like a modern-day royal affair. Maybe it’s an experience that transcends the ordinary. Whatever the magic formula, Anantara Jewel Bagh Jaipur, the first property in India of Anantara Hotels & Resorts, the experiential luxury brand of Minor Hotels, has managed to make a dramatic first impression and is offering an unequivocal peek into the life and times of bygone royalty.

An Ode to Rajasthan’s Rich History

At first glance, this luxurious retreat unfolds as a sanctuary of verdant grounds and palatial architecture. Grand and intricately decorated, Anantara Jewel Bagh Jaipur lives up to its name—a resplendent “garden of jewels” brought to life through meticulous design and intricate detailing. A standout feature of this property is the traditional bay windows—reminiscent of the typical Rajasthani ornate jharokhas, while the overhanging chajjas add to the aesthetic grandeur and also serve a practical purpose, casting delicate shadows that provide respite from the sun. Meanwhile, the graceful arches frame its stately façade, lending a touch of old-world charm, allowing natural light to spill into opulent interiors and offering glimpses of the breathtaking surroundings.

A Regal Stay Rooted in Heritage

Overlooking either the serene inner courtyard or the city’s historic skyline, the 150 rooms and suites echo India’s regal heritage through exquisite handcrafted details. From delicate tikri glasswork and intricate hand-carved woodwork to shimmering accents of golden leafing, every corner of these rooms tells a story of craftsmanship and grandeur. You will find an understated elegance in the Premier and Deluxe Rooms, with rich textiles in soft, neutral hues that whisper an old-world charm. Meanwhile, the Deluxe Family Rooms ensure multi-generational travellers experience the best of both worlds—modern conveniences blended with uber-luxury.

For those seeking a more indulgent stay, the Jewel Bagh One-Bedroom Suite is a dream, featuring a separate living room with inviting window beds, while the Anantara One-Bedroom Terrace Suite, with its breezy private terrace, outdoor dining setup, and irresistible Jacuzzi under the stars, will give you a feel of bespoke luxury. And for those with a penchant for the grandest of escapes, the Presidential Two-Bedroom Suite is perfect if you are looking for a combination of indoor splendour and access to the outdoors.

An Elaborate Culinary Affair

Experience a palate of global cuisines and crafted cocktails at the signature restaurant Sheesh Mahal, a jewel box adorned with mirror mosaics and coloured glass inspired by Rajasthan’s iconic Mirror Palace. Amrit Mahal, the all-day dining venue, offers a range of international buffets to Indian à la carte classics and gives you the choice to dine by the pool. Unwind over speciality coffees, handpicked teas, and refreshing lemonades at the Rajputana Chowk, which will remind you of  traditional chowks, or marketplaces. For a true royal experience, a must-try is the Designer Dining by Anantara, where throughout the night, four exquisite courses made by a private chef are served by a butler at four different venues, each tailored to complement the magic of the setting.

Wellness is the New Luxury at Anantara Spa

At the Anantara Spa, you get to experience the best of Thai wellness traditions coupled with local expertise. The spa features an on-site beauty salon and five treatment rooms for you to rebalance with classic Ayurvedic therapies and indulgent body treatments. Signature offerings range from the Pao Ya fire therapy to beloved spa classics like romantic couples’ journeys. You can also indulge in fruity scrubs and gentle massages, while daily yoga sessions in the serene Amer Bagh and a 24/7 fitness centre ensure routines continue uninterrupted.

Experiences Beyond the Hotel

The luxury hotel offers a collection of signature experiences, both on and off the property. With the Royal Heritage Art Walk led by a resident artist, explore hand-painted murals and mosaics of the Rang Mahal ballroom within the hotel before joining a private session to create your own work of art. The culinary enthusiasts can head to the Spice Spoons cooking class, where you can turn fresh ingredients into a traditional meal and enjoy it in true Rajasthani style, sitting on low stools and eating with hands. For a walk on the wild side, book a private safari and heritage tour to the Ranthambore National Park or the historic Ranthambore Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Try your hands at pottery-making and turban-tying classes at the cultural village of Chokhi Dhani or explore Amber Fort during a private tour, milk cows in a local village and walk with giants at an elephant village.

Grand Celebrations

Grand weddings and Rajasthan go hand in hand and the property’s palatial setting and secluded location make it an attractive wedding destination. Guests can choose from five landscaped gardens, with the largest, Amer Bagh, accommodating up to 1,000 guests, while the pillarless Kohinoor Mahal ballroom can host up to 300 attendees indoors. Poolside Bawdi Bagh and the charming emerald lawn of Mor Bagh are ideal for more intimate ceremonies.
