Hotels
&
Resorts,
the
experiential
luxury
brand
of
Minor
Hotels,
unveils
its
first
property
in
India—Anantara
Jewel
Bagh
Jaipur.
Serving
as
a
peaceful
gateway
to
the
Pink
City’s
many
cultural
attractions,
the
luxurious
retreat
is
a
sanctuary
of
verdant
grounds
and
palatial
architecture.
By
overlaying
royal
design
with
immersive
cultural
experiences,
Anantara
Jewel
Bagh
Jaipur
offers
a
window
into
a
bygone
era
when
some
of
India’s
oldest
dynasties—known
as
proud
warriors
and
patrons
of
the
arts—ruled
Rajasthan.

Anantara
Jewel
Bagh
Jaipur
Hotel

Grand
and
intricately
decorated,
on
approach,
Anantara
Jewel
Bagh
Jaipur
emerges
like
a
resplendent
“garden
of
jewels”
it
is
named
after.
To
create
a
building
that
speaks
to
the
area’s
history,
the
architects
drew
from
a
classical
Rajasthani
ancestral
palace,
blending
this
sense
of
royal
heritage
with
modern
elegance
synonymous
with
Anantara.
Graceful
arches
frame
the
façade,
while
traditional
bay
windows,
known
as

jharokhas,
add
beauty
and
classic
appeal
to
the
exterior,
inviting
natural
light
and
scenic
views.
Overhanging
structures
like

chhajjas
provide
both
decorative
refinement
and
practical
shade.
