Royal Heritage Haveli - By Leisure Hotels 

We are recently back from an extraordinary three week trip round Rajasthan where we stayed in a range of wonderful hotels. It’s a really hard choice, but by the end of our holiday, we had two ultimate favourite hotels - one of which was this magical haveli! I had worried a little about booking somewhere quite a way out from central Jaipur - but returning each evening to somewhere so beautiful and peaceful made that entirely worthwhile. We had an absolutely wonderful three night stay here. In fact, we loved it so much that we changed our plans and spent two mornings here - enjoying waking to the sound of birds, swimming in the heated pool and lingering in the gardens. Their breakfast - outside in the beautiful Kigelia courtyard - is outstanding and was the best of the holiday. The beetroot and carrot juice was a favourite - but the lovely waiting staff (special mention to Nandu who looked after us incredibly well every morning) will basically make all sorts of things, depending on what you like. We also really enjoyed the delicious tasting menu on our first night - with the courtyard looking so pretty and all lit up at night. As for the rooms, if you are lucky enough to get room 104 (the blue room), it is simply astonishing: we have never in our lives stayed in such a sensational room and felt like we were living in a palace! It really did make our stay particularly special. At every point, the staff were all extremely helpful and friendly - the level of professionalism and care for individual guests is exceptional - and Harvinder went to great lengths to book us into a very popular restaurant in Jaipur, which we hugely appreciated. Jaipur is a busy, fast-paced city - so staying at this gorgeous hotel balanced out the experience absolutely perfectly. We’d definitely recommend staying here and would come back in a heartbeat if we returned to Jaipur.
