Jaipur is the capital of India’s Rajasthan state. The city forms a key point on the Golden Triangle, the tourist circuit that connects New Delhi, Agra, and Rajasthan. Known as the Pink City, its historic core is filled with dusty pink buildings. This vibrant color has become synonymous with Jaipur and it’s part of what makes it such an attractive destination in India. It is the first planned city in the country and its UNESCO World Heritage streets are less chaotic than those of New Delhi and Mumbai, making it an ideal destination for first-time visitors.
Jaipur’s hospitality scene is another reason to make a stop here while exploring the country. A cornerstone of culture in India, the bar for service is set ridiculously high. Hotel chains are increasing their presence in the city, but don’t overlook individually owned boutique properties. Regardless of your budget and needs, here’s the top selection of hotels in Jaipur.
