Just off M.I. Sansar Chandra Marg, this very popular travellers’ haunt has a travel desk, book and gift shop, and a range of in-house activities, from block printing and cooking to yoga lessons. The spotless rooms vary in size and layout so check out a few. Outside, there is an extensive veranda facing a soothing expanse of lawn to loll about on.

For a hotel of 125 rooms it is very well run with several eco-initiatives, including reducing plastic wherever possible and providing clean drinking water on every floor and a reusable bottle in every room. The vegetarian restaurant also has espresso coffee.

An Institution in Jaipur. The 100 room, full ervice hotel is known for basic clean rooms and a friendly atmosphere. However, I found the (smaller) rooms a little claustrophobic. It is popular with visiting designers and I have friend who absolutely love it.
