Another advantage of staying here is the presence of a large number of cafes and restaurants to choose from.

One of the most prominent hotels in C-Scheme is Rambagh Palace. It is considered as one of the best heritage properties in India and has won many awards over the last few years. It was the erstwhile residence of Jaipur royalty and was preferred over the Jaipur City Palace by the most famous queens – Maharani Gayatri Devi. The owner of Rambagh Palace is Jaipur royalty but it is a part of the Taj group of hotels. It is one of the most sought after wedding venues in Jaipur and costs a fortune.

Heritage Hotels In Jaipur

With the rise in preference for a stay in heritage properties, there are many options to choose from heritage hotels in Jaipur. A few of these are genuine heritage hotels but there are many which are not; they can at best be described as imposters. One can find many heritage hotels in the Bani Park area which claim to be heritage Havelis but these were built within the last few decades. While many travelers are unaware of this fact, others don’t care. These hotels are way cheaper than real heritage properties. It wouldn’t be uncommon to find accommodation in a heritage style hotel in Bani Park for as low as Rs 3000/night.   On the other hand, the real heritage Havelis costs at least 2-5 times.
