Umaid Bhawan Heritage House Hotel is an ornately decorated three-pearl heritage-style property in the predominantly residential Bani Park neighborhood of Jaipur, a short drive from the Pink City and the railway station. The 41 rooms here have beautiful, old-fashioned furniture and hand-painted floral designs on the ceilings. Prices are a bit higher than competitor hotels, but amenities and freebies add way more value. There's a rooftop restaurant and an elegant indoor restaurant, plus a bar, free breakfast buffet, and room service. There's also a beautiful courtyard pool with a few lounge chairs, and nightly cultural entertainment. Travelers may also want to consider Nahargarh Haveli, which is a little closer to the railway station and has slightly lower room rates -- but no pool.

Conveniently located just south of Jaipur Railway Station, Hotel Pearl Palace is a charming budget hotel that in many ways feels more like a mid-range boutique property. The 30 rooms here range from basic dorm rooms (guests can rent out whole dorms or just single beds) to snazzy and spacious air-conditioned Deluxe Rooms. Features include free Wi-Fi, clothing and jewelry shops, and laundry service, but the hotel's most attractive feature by far is its gorgeous Peacock Rooftop Restaurant, a two-story terrace restaurant with a large menu as well as room service. The hotel also offers free pick-ups from the bus and train stations, saving first-time visitors a lot of potential hassle. Travelers may also want to consider Sunder Palace Guest House nearby, which has similar amenities and is a tad mellower.

Nahargarh Haveli is a 30-room budget hotel just south of the railway station and a short walk from the shops and restaurants of M.I. Road. There's not a whole lot in terms of amenities, though the hotel does have a relatively spacious rooftop restaurant with 24-hour room service, plus a massage room. All three room types here have air-conditioning and flat-screen TVs, and the suites have an amusing peacock-themed decor scheme. However, past guests have complained about street noise and some rooms lack windows. Travelers may want to consider a stay at Krishna Palace instead, which is in the quieter Bani Park neighborhood, but a bit further from the railway station.

The Rambagh Palace is a luxury hotel housed in the former summer palace of a Maharaja, in the upscale area of Jaipur. Keeping up with the high standards of the renowned Taj brand, this property exudes royal luxury throughout. Attention to detail is what makes this hotel so special. The 45 rooms and 33 suites each feature their own individual design and come with amenities like air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi. Features include five specialized dining facilities, a full spa, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and a fitness center. The grounds are massive and include a total of 14 event and meeting spaces. The major downside here is that rates don't include breakfast. While Rambagh Palace is unrivaled in most regards, The Raj Palace Grand Heritage Hotel is another luxurious and elite option in Jaipur.

Jai Mahal Palace is an upscale heritage hotel housed in a beautiful palace complex dating back to 1745. There are 100 rooms and suites in total, all with traditional touches such as Rajasthani artwork and classic furniture, though some past guests have complained that the old-fashioned vibe can feel a bit tired. Facilities include 18 acres of beautiful lawns and courtyards that can be used for weddings and other events, along with a lovely outdoor pool, an upscale spa, and a variety of restaurants serving Indian and international food. The location near the railway station makes the Jai Mahal Palace convenient for rail travelers, but those wishing to be right in the Pink City may want to consider Samode Haveli instead.

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.
