One of the best legacies left behind by the royal past of Rajasthan are the majestic palaces and stately homes built in timeless architecture, which today have been converted into heritage hotels. So if you are on a visit to Jaipur, there is simply no reason to miss a stay in one of these edifices of history, especially more so because they are available to suit all travel budget ranges.
Here is a brief list of the heritage hotels with their websites and the approximate cost of stay in a standard double room for a night. Off course, the rates of luxurious suites would be higher. The important thing to keep in mind here is that most of them are off-season rates; therefore the rates in the peak months would be higher. And also, the rates would be different (most probably higher) if booked through an agent. So the best thing would be to find out the best available deal through the various internet resources. The common features in all of them is that they are family-run and have been renovated to offer all the modern amenities that is available in the standard hotels of today.
The below figures are all rough approximations to give an idea for the rate of a standard double room for a night during non-peak season. Please check the given website links for the latest rates.
