The Oberoi Rajvilas, Jaipur

During our short trip around India, my wife and I stayed at three Oberoi hotels – and yes, you are about to read three glowing reviews, because there really is so much to admire. We arrived in Jaipur from Delhi with our wonderful driver, Mr. Girwar, who is not only an excellent driver but also a fantastic conversationalist and a genuinely kind person. The entire journey was perfectly arranged by Mr. Mohit from Exotic Vacations – Oberoi Group. After an outstanding experience at The Oberoi, New Delhi, we had high expectations for Jaipur – and we were not disappointed in the slightest. The hotel is simply beautiful – stunning architecture set in a magical garden. Dozens of peacocks stroll among the breathtaking bougainvillea, adding an extra layer of charm to this already special place. True to Oberoi tradition, we were welcomed even before entering the lobby – with flower petals and a garland around the neck. The check-in was fast, smooth and extremely professional. Honestly, we felt like the most important guests in the world – that’s the Oberoi difference: every arriving guest feels truly special. We were upgraded to a gorgeous Luxury Tent with private pool – a beautiful little “house” surrounded by a bougainvillea wall and our own private swimming pool. What more could you ask for? We enjoyed both hotel restaurants. The staff were very helpful (great wine recommendations too), the food was delicious and we loved the live music in the evenings. After exploring Jaipur with our excellent guide Neha (also arranged by Mr. Mohit / Oberoi Group - we highly recommend her), we spent relaxing hours in the stunning hotel garden and by the beautiful main pool, enjoying drinks brought right to us. On our wedding anniversary the hotel surprised us beautifully – our tent was decorated, we received a delicious cake and some lovely little gifts. We are so grateful! Special thanks to General Manager Mr. Vishal Virmani for personally welcoming us, for the warm conversation and for making our stay truly memorable. Big thank you also to Mr. Sanchari Guha - Front Office Manager, the pool team, restaurant staff, housekeeping, reception and the boutique/shop team – you are an amazing group and you deliver genuine 6-star service! And last but not least – heartfelt congratulations to Mr. Vikram Oberoi, Managing Director and CEO, for building and leading such an extraordinary team. We’ll definitely be back!

A beautiful hotel with great service. The room with a garden was large and comfortable with every amenity. Food was excellent .

This hotel was unlike any other that we had stayed in. Our room was in its own little villa, set in picturesque and immaculate grounds, with ornate ponds, pagodas, wonderful plants, flowers and tress, with peacocks roaming. All you can hear were the birds in the trees, and the gentle sound of water babbling over stones - an absolute oasis of calm. Our room had a four poster bed, shutters on the windows, and a sunken marble bath that looked out onto its own little private garden. The food in the main restaurant was great, particularly the Indian dishes, and there was live Indian music and dancing out on the terrace. We did not get to try the specialty Indian menu restaurant, as it was closed for a private function on the evening we wanted to dine there, but I hear the dishes are superb. The service the staff provide is second to none, and every wish is catered for, without doubt the best service we have ever received, with every detail noted and acted on by the team. Absolutely wonderful.

This is the best hotel we have ever stayed at. The location, facilities, food, but most of all the staff, have been wonderful. We had to extend our stay because my wife was unwell and the whole team was fantastic. Special mentions to Triambika in the restaurant and Swetha and Anisha who looked after our room, who all went above e and beyond. A truly life affirming experience.

Sweta was a gem She really was sweet and helpful
