Now you can rent a suite in the opulent City Palace, Jaipur

Talking about luxury hotels in India, one cannot overlook the opulence of heritage properties. Tied to an illustrious history of royalty, these former palaces now serve as the most decadent examples of fine living. Now, India has another new palace added to its list of heritage properties, and that is the famed City Palace, Jaipur. The city is already on the map for foreign travellers, and this move will definitely garner more attention to the royal legacy of the city, and the city in general.
The City Palace had formerly hosted distinguished personalities, including Princess Diana, Bill Clinton, and Jackie Kennedy to name a few. Now, you too can book a night in this regal home.

The Gudliya Suite

The renting of the City Palace, Jaipur is open only to a section of the palace, namely, the Gudliya Suite. The 300-year-old palace is going to host anybody who books the suite through Airbnb, an online marketplace for hotels and homes. All the earnings will go to the Princess Divya Kumari Foundation, who is the mother of the current resident of the palace, Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh.
Booking the Gudliya Suite will let you have access to a lounge, kitchen, bathroom, and an indoor swimming pool. The suite is located in a private section of the palace. Starting from November 23, you can book the suite for an inaugural price of INR 71455 per night, but the original tariff, which is INR 572280 per night, will begin from January 1, 2020.

The construction of the City Palace, Jaipur, started in 1727 under the rule of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. It was, in fact, established around the same time that the city of Jaipur was established.
