Hotel Narain Niwas Palace

The land of kings and palaces - Rajasthan - echoes tales of India's glorious past, the dynasties that ruled, and their exploits at the war fields. These legends of time are brought back to life by heritage hotels in India. Standing grand amidst modern-day Jaipur is Hotel Narain Niwas Palace, whose crest reads - "Brave deeds live, though bodies die'. Traditionally, ‘Niwas’ means the home of the royals. Hotel Narain Niwas Palace is one of the top heritage hotels in Rajasthan, showcasing a good example of history amalgamating with modern times.

Centrally located in Jaipur, the Pink City of India, the palace was built in the year 1928 by General Amar Singh Ji, the then Thakur of Kanota. Designed in the Anglo-Indian style popular in the Victorian era, the palace, which served as the country resort for the Kanota royalty, is now one of the best luxury hotels in Jaipur one can witness in present times. Decorated with ethnic Indian furnishings, coupled with Rajput flourishing and traditional Jaipur-style painted wall decor in a typically bold color palette, Hotel Narain Niwas Palace provides an exclusive retreat to its guests.
