Well, your dreams can come true now with the Gudliya Suite at the royal quarters of the City Palace in Jaipur that had been out of bounds for the public but is available for booking on Airbnb.

The palace has significant historical and cultural importance and is home to the royal family. Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh is the first-ever maharaja to open his palace on Airbnb in 2019.
Once you land in Jaipur, you will be transferred by a chauffeur-driven car to the City Palace. A private butler is assigned to take care of all your needs throughout your stay.
