Amanbagh

Amanbagh rests within a walled enclosure; its soil, watered by a nearby lake, supports palms, eucalyptus trees, and manicured lawns. In Moghul style, Amanbagh pays homage to Rajasthan's golden age. The use of local materials includes pink marble floors and domed cupolas over king-sized beds.

The restaurant provides a regal atmosphere beneath high ceilings. The food is homestyle, Indian cuisine, with a choice of Western dishes also available. A less formal venue is next to the spectacular pool. Here, you can dine al fresco beneath a covered colonnade. The library and roof terraces are great dining options in the summer months.

Guests can explore the countryside by camel cart, horseback, elephant, bicycle, jeep, or boat, and can visit ancient mosques, forts, temples and ruins. The holy Narayani Mata Temple is only a 10-minute trip away, and the hotel can arrange everything from shopping daytrips to Jaipur to sunset safaris.
