Raffles Jaipur Marks Two Years with 'Second Is On Us' — A Celebration of the Moments That Define the Reimagined Palace

Jaipur, 6th July 2026 — Two years ago, Raffles Jaipur opened its doors as India's most distinctive luxury address—a reimagined queen's palace where timeless elegance meets contemporary luxury. Conceived not merely as a hotel but as a place of pause, connection and meaningful experiences, the palace now marks its second anniversary with its most generous invitation yet: Second Is On Us.

Running from 8 to 31 July 2026, the anniversary celebration is an expression of gratitude to guests who have been part of the Raffles Jaipur story, while welcoming those discovering the palace for the very first time.

Guests booking Junior Suites and above will enjoy a complimentary second night's stay, extending the opportunity to experience the palace at an unhurried pace. The celebration continues across the hotel's dining and wellness experiences, with a complimentary second serving of signature cocktails across all restaurants and bars, alongside a second wellness ritual from the spa menu, exclusively for in-house guests. Thoughtfully designed, each offering reflects the generous spirit of Raffles Jaipur—inviting guests to linger longer and savour more of what makes the palace truly exceptional.

The anniversary week, from 10 to 11 July, unfolds through a carefully curated programme celebrating culture, craftsmanship and culinary artistry.

Leading the celebrations is an exclusive collaboration between Chef Jaydeep Patil, Executive Chef at Raffles Jaipur, whose culinary journey includes celebrated three Michelin-starred kitchens across France and the United States, and renowned chef and storyteller Vicky Ratnani. Together, they present a limited-edition dining experience inspired by bold flavours, creativity and storytelling, promising an unforgettable gastronomic journey that reflects the evolving spirit of Raffles Jaipur.

Guests will also have the rare opportunity to participate in an intimate tea appreciation hosted by Sir Sheikh Aliur Rahman, one of only sixteen Tea Grand Masters in the world. Showcasing an extraordinary collection from the London Tea Exchange, the experience remains exclusively available in South Asia at Raffles Jaipur.

Commenting on the occasion, Rajat Sethi, Cluster General Manager, Raffles Jaipur and Fairmont Jaipur, said: "Our second anniversary is a celebration of the relationships we have built over the past two years and the trust our guests continue to place in us. 'Second Is On Us' is our way of inviting guests to experience more of what defines Raffles Jaipur—our culture, our wellness philosophy, our culinary experiences and our legendary hospitality. While we are deeply honoured by the international recognition the hotel has received, our greatest achievement continues to be the meaningful memories our guests create within these palace walls. As we enter our third year, we remain committed to curating experiences that are authentic, thoughtful and deeply rooted in the rich heritage of Rajasthan."

The anniversary comes after a landmark year that firmly established Raffles Jaipur among the world's finest luxury hotels. The palace was honoured with Two Michelin Keys and named No. 1 Hotel in India in the Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Choice Awards 2025, recognising its exceptional guest experience and distinctive sense of place. The hotel also received accolades at the Robb Report Hong Kong Best of the Best Awards 2026, while The Writers Bar continued to strengthen its reputation as one of Jaipur's most iconic cocktail destinations.

Throughout the year, Raffles Jaipur further enriched its cultural calendar with celebrated experiences including the Dawn Harlow Retreat, the Raffles Sirmour Cup, immersive festive celebrations during Diwali and Christmas, and The Queen Within—a thought-provoking conversation series celebrating the enduring spirit of the zenana through contemporary voices.

As Raffles Jaipur steps into its third year, its vision remains unchanged: to continue creating experiences that celebrate Rajasthan's rich cultural heritage through exceptional hospitality, transformative wellness, meaningful collaborations and unforgettable culinary journeys. Quietly confident and deeply personal, the palace continues to offer guests not simply a place to stay, but a place to truly belong.
