Anantara Hotels & Resorts, the luxury brand of Minor Hotels, has unveiled its first property in India – Anantara Jewel Bagh Jaipur. The luxurious retreat serves as a peaceful gateway to the Pink City’s many cultural attractions and it’s a sanctuary of verdant grounds and palatial architecture. Moreover, the iconic property offers a window into a bygone era when some of India’s oldest dynasties – known as proud warriors and patrons of the arts – ruled Rajasthan.

Anantara Hotels & Resorts unveils Anantara Jewel Bagh Jaipur

On approach, the grand and intricately decorated Anantara Jewel Bagh Jaipur is like the resplendent “garden of jewels” it is named after. When creating a building that speaks to the area’s history, architects drew from a classical Rajasthani ancestral palace, blending this sense of royal heritage with modern elegance synonymous with Anantara.

The beautiful façade is framed by graceful arches, while traditional bay windows, known as jharokhas, add a classic appearance and beauty to the exterior, inviting natural light and scenic views. Meanwhile, overhanging structures like chhajjas provide both decorative refinement and practical shade.

Guest rooms and suites

150 rooms and suites overlook the serene inner courtyard or the city, and connect guests to India’s past through hand-crafted details, like intricate tikri glasswork, hand-carved woodwork and golden leafing.

Premiere and Deluxe Rooms feature rich textiles in understated neutral shades which add heritage charm. Meanwhile, Deluxe Family rooms ensure comfortable multi-generational stays that blend modern convenience and old-world opulence.

Guests staying in the 753-square-foot Jewel Bagh One-Bedroom Suite will enjoy a separate living room with cozy window beds, perfect for curling up with a book and a cup of tea after a day of adventuring. Moreover, the breezy private terrace of the 700-square-foot Anantara One-Bedroom Terrace Suite promises to be especially welcoming in the balmy winter months, inviting relaxing Jacuzzi soaks and outdoor dining with panoramic views.

Similarly, the 1,862-square-foot Presidential Two-Bedroom Suite is perfect for those guests seeking a combination of indoor splendor and access to the outdoors.
