Kaiser-i-Hind Hotel, Jaipur
Out of the first hotels of Jaipur or as the advertisement claims, the “only” hotel in Jaipur, this pretty structure stood on what is now Motilal Atal Road, opposite the Rajputana Sheraton but was sadly demolished many years back.
The baroque styled hotel was recommended or “patronised” by the royals and nobles in India and Europe, and much like hotels in the west, boasted luxury amenities (ventilated fireplaces, warm mattress beds amongst others) and services.
