Fairmont Jaipur

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. But hey do have maintenance issues it seems as ac was too cold in my room and I could not get it to 25C as I was not feeling well. Otherwise great staff always ready to help specially front office team. The phone service people were well trained and services were quick usually. Will come back definitely.

Great care has been taken to create a property that recalls the achitecture and splendour of palace hotels across Rajasthan. The rooms are comfortable and opulent but the prize is the bathroom with its patterned flooring and giant marble tub. Every artefact is chosen well, and the gardens are well laid out. The property is but a hear and months old, but will develop into a fine place to stay in. The surrounding hills, the fact that the city is out of earshot, and its proximity to Amber Fort make Fairmont a welcome retreat or wedding/ conference destination. There is a spa coming up, which should complete the exoerience. Service needs upgrading, esoecially if there is an event to be handled; but the price is half of a regular palace hotel in the city, which is a decided plus!

We spent a week here on our honeymoon and were treated like royalty. The hotel is brand new and reminiscent of a Mughal palace. They have spared no expense and the property is exquisite. You're greeted by horn players from above the grand gate, receive flower garlands, a delicious welcome drink and I recommend the hotel tour. Our beautiful room had a stunning view of the mountains and the hotel. It was one of the nicest bathrooms ever. The tub was divine! The bed and pillows delightful. The service was superb. If I had one complaint, it might have been a bit much, particularly at the restaurant. But it's a good problem to have! Room service was also very reasonable. The front desk were great at helping organize outings. The gym is great and there is a full time trainer - so complimentary personal training sessions. The pool is beautiful too. It's a bit out of town, but that's how you get the peaceful mountain views. Just budget for cabs. Call for a metered taxi and its about 500r to old Jaipur.

First, when we arrived at the hotel, i was not sure if i am actually looking for such a change. Since it seemed unusually crowded with people. Later as a relief, we were told that there are some wedding guests who shall leave by the next day, which was quite a relief. The wow factor came when we entered our room which is not just made tastefully but was romantically done up specially for us (me n my wife), with cake, sparkling wine, chocolates, and rose petals. The best part about our stay was the lounge we had on our floor which only fairmont gold room residents can enjoy. We had an awesomely relaxing time in the hotel. Special thanks to the Satyajit (Manager) and Jill George (Lounge) and not to forget their team since i cannot recollect their names. Each one of them took great care of us and made our stay SUPERB!!! Please go, if you have the opportunity. It ll make you like Jaipur even more.

For Travellers doing the Golden Triangle in India ( Delhi, Agra and Jaipur - All 250 Kms apart), Jaipur for long was limited to few Heritage Hotels, Palaces converted into Hotels , most of which were within the hustle bustle of the city. In this regard, the Fairmont property is a welcome alternative, for those who prefer quite and solitude. Commissioned around 9 months ago ( late 2012), the Hotel is appx 15 Kms from the City, on the Highway to Delhi. Built as a Palace, the architecture and the decor does make one feel as he is inside a Palace. Right from a Royal welcome, Rajasthani style to the beautifully decorated art , the regal ambience and the interiors in the room, the experience is very enriching. The best thing that I found about the place was the very caring nature of the staff. Very polite and ever eager to help, yet non-interfering. The property is very close to the Amber, Jaigarh and Nahargarh Fort. Trips to City could be costly, if one were to avail the Hotel cars. My advice to travellers is to call for a Radio Cab which are relatively cheap, comfortable and well maintained.They need to be called with advance (owing to the distance) as they take abt 20- 25 mins to arrive. The food is another highlight of the place. 2 New restaurants are on the verge of being opened, apart from private Villas, which will make the place more interesting. All in all, a great chiller.
