It’s been a year since Anantara Jewel Bagh Jaipur opened its doors, quietly reshaping what luxury looks like in the Pink City. Nestled on Jaipur’s outskirts, this palatial retreat marries Thai-inspired elegance with Rajasthan’s poetic charm, offering travellers a stay that feels both indulgent and deeply rooted in place. Over the past twelve months, it has become more than a hotel—it’s a canvas where culture, craft, and mindful luxury converge.
From the first glance, the property makes an impression. Grand courtyards, sun-dappled terraces, and intricate jharokhas invite guests into a world where history and contemporary comfort coexist seamlessly. Inside, rooms and suites echo Rajasthan’s royal heritage with hand-carved wood, tikri glasswork, and opulent textiles, while offering every modern convenience for travellers seeking both luxury and authenticity.
What sets Anantara Jewel Bagh apart isn’t just its grandeur—it’s a quiet commitment to sustainability. Earlier this year, the hotel began sourcing energy from a dedicated solar plant in Bikaner, making it one of Rajasthan’s few luxury properties relying so heavily on renewable power. Behind the scenes, everyday routines add up: cage-free eggs and responsibly sourced seafood, batch cooking to reduce food waste, digital meetings instead of printed documents, and a zero-discharge water system that treats, recycles, and reuses every drop. Compost is turned around within a day, ensuring kitchen scraps become nourishment for the gardens rather than landfill.
Sustainability extends beyond the physical. The hotel partners with nearby village schools, providing career guidance and hygiene awareness, while local artisans—puppet dancers, henna artists, lakh-chudi makers—are regularly invited to share their craft with guests. Here, luxury doesn’t feel detached; it feels lived-in, generous, and connected to Jaipur’s cultural fabric.
Dining at Anantara Jewel Bagh is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the palate. Sheesh Mahal, the signature restaurant, mirrors Jaipur’s iconic Palace of Mirrors, its thousands of reflective tiles catching the golden glow of the city. The menu is a playful dialogue between international flavours and modern interpretations of local cuisine, accompanied by craft cocktails that nod to the Pink City. Amrit Mahal and Rajputana Chowk offer vibrant, approachable settings, perfect for families or leisurely afternoons over handpicked teas and fresh juices.
Beyond food, the property has become a hub for curated experiences. Guests can explore Bagru block printing, miniature painting, carpet weaving, and blue pottery workshops, or take guided heritage walks through the hotel’s hand-painted courtyards. Wellness has also grown as a focus, with the Anantara Spa introducing collagen-boosting facials, hydrating rituals, and specialised men’s treatments—all designed to be as purposeful as they are relaxing.
Beyond leisure and wellness, Anantara Jewel Bagh Jaipur has quickly become a sought-after destination for luxury weddings and celebrations. Its landscaped gardens, from the sprawling Amer Bagh to the intimate Mor Bagh emerald lawn, provide picture-perfect settings, while the pillarless Kohinoor Mahal ballroom can host up to 300 guests indoors. Poolside venues and open courtyards offer a romantic backdrop for intimate ceremonies, making every event feel bespoke. With palatial architecture, thoughtful design, and warm hospitality, weddings here seamlessly blend Rajasthan’s regal charm with contemporary luxury.
To mark its first anniversary, Anantara Jewel Bagh is offering guests a special winter and early-spring incentive: book between 15 November and 31 December 2025 for stays from January to March 2026, and enjoy a hotel credit of INR 5,000 for dining, spa, or curated experiences. Minor DISCOVERY members also receive up to 10% additional savings, adding a celebratory touch to the year-long milestone.
Over the past year, the hotel has hosted events ranging from corporate gatherings to intimate luxury weddings, including high-profile soirées for the Rajasthan Royals. Its architecture, gardens, and open spaces provide a sense of grandeur without intimidation, making it an equally appealing destination for celebrations and personal escapes alike. Looking ahead, the property plans to expand its culinary portfolio and deepen cultural offerings, promising that every visit will feel fresh, thoughtful, and distinctly Jaipur.
A year in, Anantara Jewel Bagh Jaipur stands as a gentle reminder that modern luxury can be mindful, immersive, and rooted in place. For travellers planning a Jaipur escape, there’s no better moment to discover—or rediscover—a retreat where heritage and hospitality meet in perfect harmony.
