Three-and-a-half-pearl Samode Haveli is a beautiful historic hotel with a wealth of original features and impressive traditional design elements. The location is spot on too, just inside the Old City walls and a 10-minute drive to many attractions. There's always something to catch the eye here, from the pretty courtyards to the impressive lounge covered in hand-painted frescoes and the 39 spacious rooms. A grand restaurant serves both local and international dishes, and afternoon tea can be taken on the leafy terrace. The outdoor pool is large by city standards, and other facilities include a gym, yoga studio, spa, and business center. It's a serene place once within the estate, but guests after a quieter location could check out Trident Hotel, which sits on the banks of Mansagar Lake.

Pearl Palace Heritage is a small budget boutique guest house located just down the road from the Jaipur Railway Station. Each of the 10 rooms here is individually decorated, with ornate (and some might say over-the-top), traditionally inspired decor and modern amenities including flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and in-room personal computers with internet connectivity. However, there isn't much in terms of facilities beyond free Wi-Fi. The hotel doesn't even have a restaurant, though room service is available from the sister property -- Hotel Pearl Palace -- which may be a better option for those looking for something with a bit more of a social scene. Fun fact, the "Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" was partially shot here.

Three-and-a-half-pearl Royal Heritage Haveli is a charming family-run hotel with a rich history, located on the western side of Jaipur. It's a little haven in the midst of the hot, dusty city. The hotel's lush, leafy gardens house an outdoor pool, spa, and even a croquet lawn. The restaurant serves a well-received menu of both local and international dishes, and the buffet breakfast is included in rates. It's a thoroughly charming property, and the 15 suites are particularly pretty, with their abundant period details, plus air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi. There's not much missing here, though it's outside of the city center, so guests looking for something more central could take a look at ITC Rajputana, which is a 10-minute drive from the old city and adds a gym.

Umaid Mahal is a three-and-a-half-pearl boutique hotel in Bani Park, a residential neighborhood just west of Pink City. The 35 rooms here are all gorgeous, with beautifully painted ceilings and lovely amenities including flat-screen TVs and marble bathrooms, and many have private balconies. There's no gym or spa, though the hotel does offer a lovely courtyard pool that's good for cooling off (but a bit too small for lap swimming). Other facilities include an ornately decorated restaurant and bar with room service, a free buffet breakfast, and a lovely rooftop seating area. Travelers who'd prefer to forego all of the ornate decor in favor of something a bit more modern may want to consider the Radisson Jaipur City Center.

Sunder Palace Guest House is a small budget hotel located near the railway station. The 22 rooms here vary a fair bit, and while only some have air-conditioning, all feature beautiful hand-painted decorative trim on the ceilings. Note that traffic noise may be an issue in some units. Amenities are unfortunately limited, however, and there's really just a simple vegetarian rooftop restaurant and an activities room, though the hotel can also book excursions and such at the front desk. Travelers looking for a spot with a bit more to offer may want to compare rates and amenities at the nearby Nahargarh Haveli, which has similar features and prices, plus a small massage room for guests.
