Jaipur Hotel...any idea?
Hello all,
I will stay for 3 nights in Jaipur during my golden triangle tour.
Jaipur city tour part 1 (Amber fort, Hawa Mahal-a Palace?)
Jaipur city tour part 2 (city palace, Jantar Mantar?)
This is how I plan to spend this 2 days. Can you please recommend me a good Hotel? I have a driver but I don't know how distant all this spots are, and the less driving around the better.
ITC Rajputana seems to have a fair price and it is central... but not sure if central is what I need.
Thanks a lot!

We enjoyed the Country Inn & Suites. We used points. With the USA-issued credit card's bonus award night, it was a great deal.

I'd probably go with the ITC.
We recently stayed at the Rambagh Palace for 3 nights. Although a nice experience, we found it a bit over priced compared to other hotels of a similar rating in India.
We'd go ITC next time.

Bumping this thread for updated feedback
Hi All-
It looks like I'll be in Jaipur for a couple of nights this August with my family, doing the usual tourist things. I think I basically have four hotel options to take advantage of my status and get breakfast included with my room-- the Hilton (as HH Diamond), the Marriott (as MR Gold), and the ITC or Le Meridien (as SPG Gold). Costs look pretty similar across the board for the first three, with the LM coming in 20-30% higher. It sounds like back in 2015 the ITC was the preferred choice. For those of you who have stayed recently, would that still be my best bet, or would you opt for one of the other three? Any particular property that my kids might enjoy more than the others?
thanks for your help!

Thanks for the tip- I'll take a closer look at the Meridien. I noticed it is a bit out of town- would it still be a reasonable place from which to hit the tourist sites?

When I stay in Jaipur or any other Rajasthani cities, I almost always retain a car+driver for the time when I'm there. I consider the property a reasonable option to hit the tourist sites.

Hi whimsey21,
I have visited Hotel Hilltop Palace hotel and it is the best hotel. Their food and service are so good. Further, the city palace is near to this hotel.
The other location might be 4-5 hours ride from this hotel.
You can know more about this hotel by below link:

My vote is for the ITC Rajputana - very comfortable, excellent service, centrally located.
Of course the Le Meridien is a good choice if you do not mind the location and distance to attractions.
