Srinivas Private Residences offers a superlative holiday with understated luxury and hospitality that is not overbearing, so you can take in the city at your own pace. Along with an excellent address to access the sightseeing spots of Jaipur, both offbeat and much trodden ones. There is no dearth of luxury places to stay in Jaipur, as the theme of royalty in old refurbished havelis and palaces meets you in practically every corner, but this has the added advantage of being the residence of some of the best polo ponies in the country. The backyard stables are a favourite with children to see the ponies that often travel for the Indian polo circuit.

The seven-bedroom residence of a Jodhpur royal brings home the traditional aesthetics to modern contemporary comforts. This included the use of Kali ghero paint, Jodhpur stone and terrazzo floor and arched courtyards with sandstone pillars that overlook well landscaped gardens and a large green-tiled swimming pool. The rich legacy of Rajasthani craft melds wonderfully in every corner and furnishing.

A large formal dining space was the epicenter of meetings with delegates, national and international sporting fraternity and friends. It is now the space for you to enjoy exquisite Marwari fare made from recipes handed down over generations. Antique furniture, old family photographs, Persian carpets and artefacts keep you engaged, transporting you to another era.

Curated experiences, sightseeing tips, dining in intimate venues, private cooking sessions, block printing workshops and more are likely to give you a complete low-down on the royal life in Jaipur.
