Fodor's Expert Review Umaid Mahal
C-20 / B-2 Bihari Marg, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
One of those faux havelis that abound in the Bani Park neighborhood, this small, comfortable hotel does a zealous job of re-creating old Rajasthani charm with colored glass windows, Mughal arches, ornate ceilings, mirrorwork, murals, old photographs and portraits, painted peacocks, turrets, and a giant entry arch. Rooms are masterfully decked out with dark green marble floors and period-style furniture. The rooftop restaurant serves wholesomely made Indian cuisine and even a few Continental dishes. It has an annex hotel around the corner—Umaid Bhawan—with similar rooms and facilities.
