The first mansion in Jaipur, the Raj Palace was built in
1728 by the Prime Minister of the Raj, Thakur Mohan Singhji of
Chaumoo and has remained his descendant's residence until now.
For during the Moghul King Aurangzeb to the time
of Empire, a virtual "Who's Who" —from Kings & Queens to the Viceroy
of India—came to dine or sleep in the embrace of the mansion's grandeur
and grace.
In 1997 the family renovated the elaborate complex
of courtyards, arched corridors and residential quarters to restore the
mansion to all of its original glory.
Built on a sprawling complex,
The Raj Palace is a testimony to the skills of mastercraftsmen. All
building arts of Rajasthan, like frescoes, mirror and hand-painted works
and stone carvings, among others, find exquisite expression in this
architectural marvel. The service is as good as the ambience- royal in
every way.
The
reborn Raj Palace is scaled for intimacy and caring personal service,
while providing every modern amenity for the comfort and convenience of
travelers.
