The Oberoi Rajvilas Jaipur

Beautiful property and landscaping , the stay and the experience in the luxurious tents were amazing. Everyday morning from our window we saw peacocks taking a stroll outside our tent. The staff was wonderful and caring and really enjoyed the rajasthani food. We would surely go back in the future.

This is a beautiful resort with lush gardens and an abundance of birdlife including peacocks roaming the landscaped areas. It is hard to pick a highlight of this resort as the front of house, food and beverage and house keeping were excellent. The speciality Indian restaurant, Raj Mahal was memorable. The food and the service was 5 star. I especially appreciated the explanation of the meals both historically and what region of India they came from. The main restaurant had entertainment each night with traditional signing and dancing which was memorable. We had booked a 3 week tour of India direct with the Oberoi as part of an Oberoi exotic vacations package. On the Oberoi's suggestion we had a guide and driver booked for 2 days by the hotel for our 3 day stay. This was the key to a great holiday. The guide knew all the places to go and was respected by all the tourist destinations and shopping destinations so that we never felt that we were just a number. One highlight was the walking the streets of the old city and seeing the gem merchants selling and bartering out in the open. You wouldn't know what was going on unless you had a guide. Our guide walked into the middle and gem merchants happily showed us folded up pieces of paper with uncut and cut gemstones. This was not somewhere you would buy stones but seeing how the wholesalers worked was interesting. The resort was very good and the organisation of everything by the hotel was excellent.

For our tour of Rajasthan we decided to stay in Oberoi hotels and that was a very good decision. In Jaipur the Oberoi Rajvilas was our host. The hotel more than deserves its 5 star rating. Our bungalow in the uniquely beautifully landscaped, huge park was very well furnished. The many peacocks on the grounds, the variety of flowers and trees, with the 5 golf greens embedded in it and the summer restaurant are unique. The staff were also remarkably friendly and accommodating, from housekeeping to the restaurant staff, the kitchen brigade to reception and management, all first class. And an often neglected topic are the bathrooms: in all Oberoi hotels we appreciated the absolute cleanliness and the practical furnishings with a bathtub and additional walk-in shower and, importantly, a shower toilet as standard.

This is such an amazing property and experience. The attention to detail and service is without compare for a couple of well traveled Americans. Delicious Indian and Rajastani food as well as other items for the western palate. If visiting India, be sure to consider this property.

This was my first stay at this lovely property and I was very impressed. While being situated slightly on the outskirts of the city, the property itself is very beautiful. They have lush greens adorned with beautiful lily ponds and the overall design and architecture of the place is remarkable. Our room was beautiful and a lot of thought had gone in while designing the place. The private pool was kept very clean and was very welcoming. The housekeeping team did a phenomenal job of keeping the room spotlessly clean and their attention to detail on small things accentuated our stay. I must mention Mr. Sandeep for housekeeping, who was very attentive and who prepared a beautiful bath for us in the evening. The culinary experience at this hotel was also incredible. Suryamahal, their all day dining restaurant, is set up in a hall like a royal dining room. The service at the restaurant was impeccable and the food was delicious. We had also ordered IRD during our stay and the food was equally good. Further, it was raining heavily, but the in room dining team was still able to get us our dinner to our room on time. The absolute highlight of this property however, is the hospitality and service of the staff. The famous Oberoi hospitality was on grand display at the Rajvilas. The members of the staff did not waste an instance to make us feel special. While each and every member at the property made our stay memorable, I would like highlight the names of a few staff members and thank them for providing us an unforgettable stay. Mr. Shivam and Ms. Shaaria from the Front Desk, Mr. Sandeep from housekeeping, and Mr. Akshay from the restaurant. I also had the pleasure of speaking with the gentleman running this fantastic property, Mr. Virmani, during our departure. The entire team is doing a truly phenomenal job. This is one of the best hotels in Oberoi’s stable of magnificent properties and I would love to return for a special experience in the near future.
