Oberoi Rajvilas is ranked 2nd among World’s Best Hotels 2008

Travel and Leisure magazine's annual poll results are out this year and Jaipur's Oberoi Rajvilas has been ranked 2nd amongst the World’s Best Hotels 2008, up from rank 11 received last year.

Situated on the outskirts of Jaipur, about 7 kms from the city centre, Oberoi Group's Rajvilas was opened in the late 1990s. The luxurious resort hotel, which includes an Ayurvedic spa, has been styled in the theme of a Rajasthani Rajput Fortress. The resort is spread over 30 acres of landscaped gardens which are adorned with elegant pavilions, pools and fountains. An intriguing centrepiece is a 260 year old Hindu temple in the middle of a large lotus pond.

The hotel has a range of accommodation options to choose from - including deluxe rooms (over 30,000 Rupees per night), luxury tents (over Rs 35,000), royal tents (apprx. Rs 80,000) and villas with private pools (the Luxury Villa costs over Rs 100,000 and Kohinoor Villa around Rs 180,000). These are the off-season rates from March '08 to September '08 which are subject to change, so it is prudent to check out their website for more accurate and up-to-date figures - www.oberoirajvilas.com
