When planning your next trip, you could close your eyes and throw a dart against a wall map.

It's a fun exercise, provided you don't care about holes in your walls.

But it may be easier to just consult a list of Raffles hotels, because they tend to be situated in some of the world's most interesting destinations, from Singapore and Siem Reap to the Seychelles.

Now we can add Jaipur, India to that list.

The newly opened Raffles Jaipur is a modern-day re-creation of a palace. It's carved from white marble and features 50 guestrooms and suites, each unique in layout and decor, and each including an expansive balcony with an outdoor soaking tub or plunge pool.

Arkaa is the hotel's specialty restaurant. It's inspired by local plant-based culinary traditions and uses ingredients sourced from nearby micro-farms. The Writers Bar serves cocktails featuring freshly ground spices and herbs sourced from the hotel’s garden, including the Jaipur Sling, a localized take on the famed Singapore Sling that was created at Raffles Singapore in 1915.

Traditional afternoon tea is served in Safir, and the rooftop bar Sehara serves Mediterranean-inspired dishes with an emphasis on Italian specialties alongside stunning views of the rolling Aravalli Hills.

You're unlikely to be stressed at this point, but you should still check out the serene spa. Book a massage or other treatment, then soak in the mineral pools or the al fresco rooftop pool.

Raffles Jaipur also features the brand’s legendary butler service, with dedicated butlers ready to meet your every need. Assuming your needs include setting up bespoke experiences and curated healing rituals traditional to Rajasthani culture. Think botanical infused baths, health elixirs made from local spices, and specially developed plant-based ointments.

So, more than just what fits on a silver serving tray.
