Jaipur is often referred to as the Pink City of India. This city is the capital of possibly the most historically rich state of India, Rajasthan. The city contains some of the best palaces and monuments of ancient and medieval India. No wonder it is a popular tourist destination. Almost every year Rajasthan amounts for the maximum number of Indian and foreign tourists and as a result the hotels of Jaipur are in hot demand.

There are three basic types of hotels in Jaipur- the heritage hotels, the luxury hotels and the budget hotels. The heritage hotels are symbols of ethnicity, royalty and pride in Jaipur. Ancient rulers who used to own big bungalows deserted them and most of the rulers died and in the due passage of time these bungalows started to crumble. But the government took them over and converted them into modern hotels. These heritage Jaipur hotels serve a purpose other than just being a tourist lodge. These ancient hotels house priceless historic artifacts and materials. So these hotels are places of tourist and historic interest. These hotels are finely maintained and are equipped with all standard comfort facilities to make stay in such a hotel an exotic experience. Among the many heritage hotels there are the Alsisar Haveli, the Samode Haveli and the Narain Niwas Palace which are more famous than the others.

The luxury hotels are where people generally prefer to stay, especially the foreign tourists. The luxury hotels are quite like the heritage hotels in terms of amenities and facilities but differ a lot in terms of construction and shape. While the heritage hotels are old bungalows renovated the luxury hotels are new pieces of fine architecture. Such luxury hotels provide great facilities like spas, gyms, conference halls, luxurious suites, swimming pools and Jacuzzis. Among the many luxury hotels that are available the Sheraton Rajputana Hotel, the Chowki Dhani Resort and the Jai Mahal Palace are the most notable ones. But since the luxury hotels are costly they are not a favorite among the general tourists. For them there is another type of hotel that fits their bill.

The budget hotels are among the most sought after of the Hotels in Jaipur. For the budget tourists who can do without hotels with swimming pools the budget hotels are just the thing. Even though the rate is lower than the heritage and luxury hotels the service and facilities of the budget hotels are very satisfactory and the budget suites are very comfortable to be in. They provide comfort without pinching the pocket. The Nana ki Haveli, Raj Plaza and the Pearl Palace are some of the best known budget hotels of Jaipur.
