47 Jobner Bagh

Everything has a cosy yet refined feel to it, including the hotel's interiors, which are furnished with well-loved antiques. 47 also has a spa that offers Ayurvedic and aromatherapy massages, making for a relaxing interlude. The hotel's wide rooftop terrace (with bar) definitely steals the show, dotted with sunlit tables and surrounded by leafy canopies. Conversations that begin in the candle-lit dining room or garden almost always finish in front of the fire pit with a drink in hand.

Decked out in warm colours and lovely wooden furnishings, the 12 rooms are authentic and comfortable. Alongside rustic en-suite bathrooms, you'll find a wardrobe, TV, desk and air con. You can also make use of the hotel's laundry and room service, plus a thorough room cleaning twice a day. In a selection of rooms, you'll also find a lovely patio with garden views.

From this central spot, you can already see a few of Jaipur's historic monuments, including Nahargarh Fort, and it's beyond easy to discover the rest! The city is home to an incredible array of palaces, spectacular in colour and design. A tad further afield, you'll discover Galta, a secluded group of temples nestled amongst the cliffs - it also has an amazing monkey population! As a local with a lot of know-how, definitely ask 47's owner, Shiva Gujar, for a few tips.
