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 Mughal king Aurangzeb to the time of empire, a virtual "who's who" - from kings and 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 it's original glory. Built on a sprawling complex, the Raj Palace is a testimony to the skills of master craftsmen. Arts of Rajasthan, like frescoes, mirror and hand-painted works and stone carvings, among others, find exquisite expression in this architectural marvel. The re-born Raj Palace is scaled for intimacy and caring personal service, while providing every modern amenity for the comfort and convenience of travellers.
