The Oberoi Rajvilas is a purpose-built palace resort on the outskirts of Jaipur. Its superb design blends classic Rajasthani architecture with ancient majesty and contemporary sophistication. The hotel spreads out in a fort like setting with pavilions, reflection pools and courtyards. The large central courtyard houses an ancient Shiva temple, surrounded by a pond which attracts several birds that nest in this zone. Peacocks strut around the property and add wonderful ambient music for the morning wake up call.
Accommodation in the Oberoi Rajvilas is set around tranquil courtyards in a traditional Rajasthani setting. Each of the 54 deluxe rooms and villas and 14 fully air-conditioned luxury tents are spacious, unique, and exquisitely elegant. The rooms with high ceilings have large four poster beds, gold-leaf murals and sunken marble baths overlooking private walled gardens. The stand-alone luxury tents have teakwood floors, embroidered interior canopies, old style baths and outdoor decks.
The two dining rooms at the Oberoi Rajvilas, offer a choice of pan-Indian specialities, western and oriental dishes. The exquisite Oberoi spa, housed in an 18th-century haveli (mansion) offers a range of massages and holistic treatments. There is a well-equipped fitness centre and a swimming pool. Hotel concierge can arrange sightseeing tours to historical sites including the Hawa Mahal, the Amber Fort.
Stay The Oberoi Rajvilas offers 71 rooms and suites. All rooms feature a white Italian marble bathroom with a sunken bathtub looking into its own private walled ornamental garden. The Premier Rooms are located in clusters of four and six rooms. Each cluster includes a central courtyard with a garden and fountain. Luxury Tents are air-conditioned and triple canopied with weather and heat resistant materials to ensure a temperate atmosphere is maintained within. Royal Tents have two separate canopied areas and private garden, secluded within a traditional mud wall.
ChildCare The hotel welcomes children but there are no specific facilities available. Babysitting can be arranged upon request.
Dine Dining at The Oberoi Rajvilas include two restaurants; Surya Mahal and Raj Mahal. Both feature indoor dining and an outside courtyard with space for live folk music and dance. Surya Mahal offers extensive menu of world cuisine while Raj Mahal serves Indian delicacies. The adjoining Rajwada Library Bar with a range of international wines is a perfect place to unwind and meet the local historian who visits twice a week. Experience speciality dining in the Rajvilas herb garden for breakfast, candlelit dinner for two at the poolside or at Charbagh.
Relax Facilities at the Rajvilas include the Oberoi Spa, located in an 18th century haveli (mansion), restored to ancient splendour. Make sure you use the lovely outside Jacuzzi with Jaipur twinkling in the distance; the setting could not be more romantic. There are tennis and croquet courts as well as a hi-tech gym. Relax in the hotel’s 21-metre swimming pool, alternatively experience a yoga session near an ancient Shiva temple.
Experience The Rajvilas is set in a former palace and spreads over a huge area but you can go around on a golf buggy. One day, experience village life at the Chokhi Dhani village which symbolises ethnic village life, offering typical Rajasthani food.

Location The Oberoi Rajvilâs is a luxury resort located just outside the city of Jaipur, Rajasthan. Built to resemble a Moghul emperor’s palace with onion dome pavilions, pools and fountains, you will be invited by elephants, camels and if lucky, even by peacocks.
Getting There Most major airlines fly to India’s main airports. Delhi is the best point of arrival for Rajasthan and north India. Regular scheduled flights connect Jaipur with Delhi, Mumbai, Ahemdabad, Udaipur and Jodhpur. It's a 25-minute drive from Jaipur airport to The Oberoi Rajvilas. Alternatively, it's a 5-hour drive from Delhi.
When to go Rajasthan, the desert state of India is largely hot but unlike the rest of India, has a much longer tourist season. Summer in Rajasthan extends from April to June and is the hottest season. Monsoon arrives in July and extends until September, is a good time to travel to Rajasthan, since it never rains there. Post monsoon, October to November and right through winter months of December to March are perfect for travelling through Rajasthan.
