No need to stop soaking in one of the 7 wonders of the world as your accommodation, The Oberoi Amarvilas, is located 600 metres away and matches its pilgrimage-worthy neighbour through its well-kept grounds and marble architecture giving you a stay worthy of an emperor.

The Amber Fort on the hills outside the town where the royal house held court for seven centuries, the beautiful Hawa Mahal, built to allow the royal household to see everyday life in the city, and the momentous City Palace, are all on the sightseeing schedule for your time here. We particularly hope you love the city palace as that is where you will be having your dinner with plenty of time before and afterwards to mingle and enjoy traditional Rajasthani folk dances and music. After a nice rest, you will be eating at the Threesixtyone Restaurant which offers a theatrical twist to your meal with 5 interactive show kitchens offering you a vast variety of Asian cuisine. After your meal you can stay in Jaipur for longer or, when you're ready, it is time to go to
