7 Luxury Hotels in Jaipur With the Finest Hospitality in Rajasthan

India Epic Stays
by Matador Creators Mar 7, 2023

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.

When to visit Jaipur

The best time to visit Jaipur is from October to March when the weather is cool and pleasant. During this period, temperatures typically range from 46°F to 95°F, making it ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities. The winter months (November — February) is peak tourist season so it’s important to plan ahead if you want to get the best deals on flights and hotels in Jaipur.

If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, April through September offers lower prices but higher temperatures that can make sightseeing uncomfortable. It’s also important to note that during the monsoon season (July — September), some areas of Rajasthan may be closed due to flooding or landslides.

We hope you love the hotels in Jaipur we recommend. Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay.
