Loading. One moment.Sawai Man Mahal
This is not a palace hotel with a long list of grades. It is a private house of 51 rooms, and the staff learn your name in a day. What matters is whether your room opens onto the shared courtyard gardens or into a walled court of its own.
Luxury Suite with Plunge Pool is 55 square metres, and its court is walled and screened in jaali: you see nobody, and nobody sees in.
Deluxe Suite is 61, with the better sitting room, and it looks onto the courtyard gardens everyone shares.
Rates here move with the nights you choose, so there is nothing honest to show until you have chosen them. Pick your dates above and the rooms the house sells online will price themselves.
55 m² · Ground · Private walled court and plunge pool view · sleeps 3 + 1 child
The bed faces straight through glazed doors into a walled court of its own — a plunge pool along one side, jaali screens at the edge, a day bed under an umbrella, and a wall high enough that none of it is anybody else's business. Tea arrives on the terrace without being rung for. It is the room the house is worth booking for.
61 m² · First · Courtyard gardens view · sleeps 4 + 1 child
A bed chamber and its own sitting room, divided by a matched pair of dark timber doors inlaid with gold quatrefoils that are the best single detail in the house. The parlour has a wingback chair, a writing table and a window onto the gardens; the bathroom is marble and brass. No private pool — this is the room for a longer stay rather than a hotter one.
45 m² · First and second · Gardens view · sleeps 3
At 45 square metres this is a generous entry room, and an unusual one in a house this small: nobody here had to cut a big room into two small ones, because the building was somebody's residence and these are the rooms it had. Tall windows onto the gardens, a writing desk in front of one of them, and the quiet that comes of having Rambagh's 47 acres on the other side of the wall, absorbing everything.
45 m² · First and second · Gardens or the courtyard view · sleeps 3
A king bed, the same floor area as the Luxury Room, and up to 12 square metres more where the building allows it — no two are identical, which is what happens when a house is converted rather than constructed. What is reliably better here is the aspect: the long garden view or the courtyard, rather than whatever was left over. Ask for a corner room; 3 or 4 of them have windows on two walls, and the staff know which.
45 m² · First and second · Gardens or the courtyard view · sleeps 3
Two single beds, the same floor area as the Luxury Room, and up to 12 square metres more where the building allows it — no two are identical, which is what happens when a house is converted rather than constructed. What is reliably better here is the aspect: the long garden view or the courtyard, rather than whatever was left over. Ask for a corner room; 3 or 4 of them have windows on two walls, and the staff know which.
142 m² · Second · Gardens view · sleeps 4
Two bedrooms across 142 square metres, and here that means one apartment rather than two rooms sold together: a drawing room in the middle, a bedroom at either end, and a bathroom to each. It is the arrangement two couples travelling together actually want and almost never find, because most hotels build it by unlocking a connecting door. This one was designed as a whole.
169 m² · Second · Gardens and the front drive view · sleeps 4 + 2 children
The principal apartment of the residence: 169 square metres at the front of the house, two bedrooms, a drawing room that seats 12 and a dining room that seats 8. It sleeps 6 without anybody taking a sofa, which is why families take it for the wedding season 18 months ahead. Book it in November and you are competing with a guest list.
