The Oberoi Rajvilas is, quite perfectly, the India of our imagination, with all her beauties distilled and dusted down, plus the conveniences and the luxuries that only a modern mind could dream of. Fortress walls gleam white in the moonlight, surrounding an 18th-century Hindu temple rising out of a lotus-strewn pond. Carved elephants rear at entrances, and fountains glitter lavishly with hand-painted blue tiles. Dancers perform by candlelight, as you dine off of handmade tablecloths. Men stalk the grounds in uniform, shooing the birds away. The beauty is almost unreal—not the ravaged beauty of history, but the unspoiled beauty of dreams. So it’s not surprising to find out that most of The Oberoi Rajvilas is only five years old, though constructed using traditional techniques like camel-pulled mills. It’s also not surprising that the architects took more of their inspiration from paintings than real life. This isn’t authenticity, it’s fantasy, but it definitely feels and looks good.
The ratio of staff to guests here is five to one. Staff scurry out to greet you with a glass of watermelon juice after you emerge from your air-conditioned jeep. At every turn, there is someone—dressed in traditional costume—somberly awaiting your instructions. Warning. If being waited on bugs you, you may want to steer clear; some people find the scope of servility here a little unnerving. The rest of us just lean back by the blue tiled pool and wait for our drinks to be topped up or indulge in an Ayurvedic at the Spa. But for the ultimate in exoticism and pampering stay in a tent inspired by those taken by royalty on hunting chests. Decorated with Victorian beds, steamer trunks and claw foot tubs and roofed in thick silk with rollaway rugs, they also boast air conditioning and hot water. And did we also mention that they come with cooks, servants and dancers?
So if you want to experience India as reality, by all means, get into a rickshaw and take your chances in the heaving mass of the Pink City. But if you want to preserve India as a fantasy then the The Oberoi Rajvilas is the place for you. We promise that it won’t disappoint your imagination.

I Liked
India can be a bit overwhelming. Getting around is tough, traffic a nightmare, the heat intense, and the lack of personal space after a long day out can be just too much. This hotel, the grounds, and the highly intuitive staff all bring a sense of peace and manageability to Jaipur. The extreme difference between the scene outside the hotel and the paradise within was an excellent combination, and leaves one wanting more. We are already planning our next trip.
What the hotel could do better
Absolutely nothing.

These reviews are posted exclusively by verified guests whose stays were booked through TabletHotels.com. We do encourage our clients to express their opinions, and what makes a hotel experience great is often something subjective, a matter of personal taste. At the same time, many of the hotels we list are extreme in one dimension or another, and are bound to disappoint somebody somewhere. These reviews are an excellent way to identify a hotel's particular quirks, and thereby avoid a poor hotel-guest match. But remember: if a hotel's overall customer rating falls lower than 15 out of 20, the hotel will be removed from our listings.
The opinions expressed in these reviews are solely those of our clients; the opinions expressed in any hotel management responses are solely those of the hotels themselves. We do not endorse any of the opinions expressed within the reviews, and we are not affiliated with any of the hotels in question. We reserve the right to remove any of the review or management response at our discretion.
