Once used by the Maharajah of Alwar as his base for tigerhunting expeditions, today Amanbagh’s lush compound shelters guests in a modern day Mughal palace, carved out of local pink marble and sandstone, with scalloped arches and cupolas paying homage to India’s golden age. A sanctuary in the arid Aravalli hills, 90 minutes from frenetic Jaipur, the property is surrounded by mature palm, fruit and eucalyptus trees, which shade the emerald green pool.
Beyond the palatial Suites, spa and gardens, guests will discover welcoming villages, majestic forts and ruins, and the jungle of Sariska National Park, where tigers still roam free.A truly opulent hotel with all the luxuries of a stylish Aman property.
