Where to stay in Jaipur
Start with the part of Jaipur where you’ll spend the most time. Then check the hotel’s exact map pin and pickup point.
Split your time across the city
MI Road area
Compare hotels here if you plan to visit both the old city and Amer. Check the route from the hotel to your first stop each day and ask for a room away from traffic if light sleepers are coming.
An Amer-focused trip
Amer
Consider staying near the fort if you want to make it your first stop. Check how you’ll get back after dinner or a day in central Jaipur.

A two-day family itinerary

Day 1 · The Pink City
Start at City Palace and look for the royal textiles in Mubarak Mahal. Visit nearby Jantar Mantar and give the kids a challenge: can they work out how a sundial tells the time? After lunch, see Hawa Mahal’s façade and leave room for a snack or a hotel break.

Day 2 · Amer Fort and a flexible afternoon
Set aside the morning for Amer Fort. The palace is on a hill and has several courtyards, so check the approach and pick a shorter route if anyone tires easily. If the family still has energy after lunch, visit Albert Hall Museum in Ram Niwas Garden.
Check current opening hours and ticket options before setting out.

- Does breakfast cover all guests, including children?
- Is there a step-free route from the drop-off to the room if you need one?
- What is the total with taxes, and when does the cancellation deadline end?
