Nostalgic Moments at the Laxmi Palace Heritage Hotel in Jaipur

Being a frequent visitor to Jaipur on business visits, I rarely had the chance to see the city itself or have a look at the famous historical places here in Jaipur. My wife Fiona and daughter Pearl also had never been to Jaipur and it was also their unspoken wish to visit and see the beautiful sights of the famed city.

 

 Some of our friends had been to Jaipur on a holiday and spoke volumes of the heritage hotel they had lived in. So one fine morning, we landed in Jaipur and made a beeline straight to the Laxmi Palace HeritageHotel. It was something that we had never imagined to be. 

In the hustle and bustle of the city, the peaceful atmosphere and old world appeal was a deep contrast in itself. Though the place had a renovated look, but still there were visible traces of its antique charm.   

• The foyer was decorated with picturesque murals of Rajput culture and historic places of Jaipur.
• The warmth with which we were received in traditional Rajasthani style was so awesome.
• The rooms were tastefully decorated with antique furniture and the beds were so soft that my daughter nearly sank in them.
• The place had the ethnic feel about it.
• The best thing about it was the near vicinity to the local markets
• One could walk out anytime and there was always transport available in the form of rickshaws, autos, taxis and even private and government run buses.
• Last but not the least was the hot and spicy Rajasthani cuisine that we had so much heard about. So mouth-watering and spicy, that even though tears were pouring out but we just couldn’t leave the delicious Lal Maas delicacy and devoured it completely.

And then we did something that we had never done before. We licked our fingers dry to savor the complete taste.

 

Such a fun-filled place it was, that whenever we plan again to come visit Jaipur, we will certainly want to stay again at the Laxmi Palace Heritage Hotel.
