Introducing The Leela Palace Jaipur in India’s Pink City
December 28, 2022 by Perrie Hartz
Located just north of Jaipur, The Leela Palace Jaipur—a jewel of The Leela group—is a stunning luxury hotel nestled against the majestic backdrop of the Aravalli mountain range, boasting over eight acres of lush landscaped gardens and an enviable setting near key heritage and tourism sites within the ancient city. Though close to the city of Jaipur, The Leela Palace Jaipur’s bucolic countryside location adds to its regal and palatial charm, offering a sense of privacy and separation from the city proper, while being just minutes from the nearby international airport.
Guests of The Leela Palace Jaipur will experience the history, culture and incredible energy of the “Pink City” from the über-luxurious comfort of this modern palace. The majestic splendor of Rajputana heritage is on full display at this landmark structure, which is an elegant reflection of modern palatial grandeur, using traditional thikri craft, inlaid mirrors, Shekhawati paintings and silver foiled domes throughout its stunning decor. The sprawling, sumptuous grounds of the property host villas, courtyards, fountains, terraces, and a stunning sun-drenched pool surrounded by silver-domed pavilions, perfect for lounging in the late-afternoon sun’s golden glow.
Inspired by the luxury and opulence of Jaipur’s regal past yet staunchly modern in its execution, The Leela Palace Jaipur has 200 lavishly appointed rooms, suites and villas that offer personalized services delivered with a traditional finesse that embodies the spirit of both the local culture and the signature Leela brand. All accommodations offer pillow menus, bespoke bath products, refined-but-traditional décor, and large windows for ample natural light and range from a standard-yet-lovely Palace Room all the way to the awe-inducing, incomparable Maharaja Suite.
The Maharaja features two separate terraces—one with a pool and the other with a day bed overlooking the palace landscapes—and has marble flooring, hand-tufted carpets, crystal chandeliers and an 8-seater dining table. There is also a private Jacuzzi pool, a living room adorned with rich Venetian mirrors, and well-appointed bathrooms with Tishya by The Leela bath amenities. Private elevator access, a walk-in closet and personal butler services add to the suite’s incredible opulence.
The Leela Palace Jaipur’s signature villas are elegant and exclusive, and feature private courtyards, plunge pools, and panoramic mountain views.
The Leela Palace Jaipur has four signature dining options. Traditional yet elevated Indian cuisine is served at the elegant fine-dining restaurant Mohan Mahal, which is illuminated only by candlelight in a romantic and truly unforgettable setting.
At the Portofino-inspired Preet Mahal, guests will dine poolside on authentic Italian cuisine and enjoy the warm night breeze.
Another al fresco option, the all-day dining restaurant Sukh Mahal offers courtyard seating paired with a thoughtful combination of traditional and international dishes.
The property’s chic and luxurious Jharokha Bar has plush green sofas in a comfortable yet opulent setting. Adorned with lotus-designed chandeliers, this 45-seat bar and lounge has lovely views overlooking the sprawling palace lawns and pool. Here, guests will dine on Indian and International bites and savor the rarest selection of malts, cognacs, and signature cocktails inspired by Rajasthan and crafted by The Leela Palace Jaipur’s seasoned mixologists.
The Leela Palace Jaipur’s Spa and fitness center is the perfect place for guests seeking relaxation, restoration, and rejuvenation. The wellness center offers bespoke holistic treatments, traditional healing rituals, hot stone massage, and private yoga sessions.
For a deeper exploration of local culture, The Leela Palace Jaipur offers guests incredible bespoke activities and experiences including cultural rituals, ceremonies, and an on-site temple dedicated to a local deity. Stronger connections to Jaipur are fostered through visits to local places of interest including nearby forts, the Jaipur City Palace, the famously pink Hawa Mahal, and dozens of local shops and boutiques. The hotel also offers cycle tours, visits to the Jhalana leopard safari park, hot hair balloon rides over the stunning desert landscape, a Dharohar ceremonial ritual, private art and history tours with local historians, Water Valley Trekking in the Aravalli mountains, and visits to Hathi Gaon, India’s first elephant village.
With its historically rich, opulent architecture inspired by Rajasthan’s exuberance, The Leela Palace Jaipur is a spellbinding wonder offering five-star service, incredible cultural experiences and modern luxury amenities.
