Description
The Oberoi Rajvilas is a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Built in the style of a fort reminiscent of Princely India, and just half an hour from Jaipur, the city that epitomises Rajasthan to most visitors, Rajvilas is a luxury resort full of character.
All rooms have four poster beds and sunken marble baths overlooking private walled gardens. Interiors of the Royal Villa highlight the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail that distinguishes the hotel. Many of the rooms are built around courtyards in typical Rajasthani style. Others are set in their own private gardens and are “tented” with brick walls and canvas canopies. The more extravagant villas have private pools.
The exquisite Banyan Tree spa is housed in an authentic Haveli, preserved in its original location, where you can enjoy a range of massages and holistic treatments to relax and unwind. The dining rooms offer a choice of pan-Indian specialities, western and oriental dishes.
Activities on site include tennis, croquet and golf putting but there is plenty to do in the surrounding area. Attractions nearby include the spectacular City Palace which was once the residence of the ruling family of Jaipur, the Hawa Mahal, the Amber Fort and the Jaigarh Fort built by Jaisingh II in 1726. Finally the Nahargarh stands guard over Jaipur, on a sheer rock face about 2 km from the city centre, dominating the skyline.
