The history of the Rambagh Palace hotel can be easily associated with the history of royalty in Rajasthan in the 19th and 20th century. The queen of Jaipur constructed it in 1835 for her favorite handmaiden. Later on as the need for a guesthouse and hunting lodge came, it was changed accordingly. In 1925, the Maharaja of Jaipur converted this place as his royal residence and many modifications were done at that time. In 1972, the palace was changed as a heritage hotel and it has seen many prominent guests including Lord Mountbatten, Prince Charles, and Omar Sharif.
