The Royal Invitation: A day spent at the Taj Rambagh Palace
The trip to Jaipur with a few Wedding Planners transported us back to the Raj era. Our accommodations were at the Jai Mahal Palace and Rambagh Palace, two of the most prestigious hotels in the city. And, of course, all of our discussions centred around Maharajas and their lifestyles, Jaipur's famed Maharani Gayatri Devi, and celebrities who exchanged vows in Jaipur; after all, the city's monuments provide a wonderful backdrop for a magnificent, traditional wedding- opulent palaces, fort overlooking the city, and elephant polo grounds for a truly royal style wedding.
We arrived in Jaipur and went to the Jai Mahal Palace, which has hosted many magnificent destination weddings. When families organise a destination wedding in Jaipur, visitors frequently stay at Jai Mahal and Taj Rambagh palace jaipur wedding, while one or more festivities are hosted at Jai Mahal and Jaigarh Fort. The Rambagh Palace does not provide a site for significant events, but the neighbouring Convention Centre can.The personnel at Jai Mahal went above and above to ensure that we had the most pleasant accommodations possible throughout our stay (we were offered our preferred choice of cushions too). After experiencing the Taj's incredible hospitality, we headed to their second resort to enjoy royal hospitality of a different type. We had the impression we were entering the Maharaja's palace as soon as we entered the Rambagh Palace. Rambagh Palace, a wistfully beautiful refuge sprawled across 47 acres with 79 magnificently equipped rooms and suites, was the Maharaja's house and one of the first palaces to be transformed into a historic hotel. We were led to our rooms after receiving a royal welcome, and when we emerged, everyone had a smile on their face that said, "It can't get much better than this."
The second day in Jaipur was spent travelling about the city. We went to the Amber Fort and then to the Ramgarh Lodge. Rambagh Lodge, located 30 minutes from the centre of Jaipur, was originally the Maharaja's favourite hunting hideaway. The property is now a popular weekend getaway location as well as a cosy place for a before or after wedding party. We were back at Rambagh Palace by late afternoon. Our evening began with a stroll around the magnificent gardens, which we had no idea would be so enjoyable, owing to the peacocks we saw dancing there.
We were really thrilled about getting a close look at Lily Pool, Maharani Gayatri Devi's post-retirement house, but the hotel officials advised us that it was 'out of bounds.' We could see the pink cottage (not very big) close to the hotel grounds from a distance. We kept visiting the palace, taking in the marble halls with rare treasures, trademark suits, the luxury spa, and a historic coal engine with a few bogies now turned into an open to the public café. We spent the rest of the evening in the opulent Polo Bar, where the Princes would stop for drinks after their polo game.
