Raffles Jaipur earns double recognition at the inaugural Tatler Best India Awards 2026

September 2026: Raffles Jaipur has been recognised with two honours at the inaugural Tatler Best India Awards, earning a place among the Top 20 Hotels and, separately, Top 20 Bars for its literary-inspired Writers Bar. The double recognition celebrates Raffles Jaipur's distinctive architecture, immersive sense of place, culinary experiences and legendary Butler Service.

The recognition adds to a growing list of accolades for Raffles Jaipur, which was awarded Two MICHELIN Keys, named No. 1 Hotel in India in the Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Choice Awards 2025, and received honours at the Robb Report Hong Kong Best of the Best Awards 2026.

Set against the Aravalli hills, Raffles Jaipur brings the legendary Raffles legacy to Rajasthan through a contemporary interpretation of palace living. Inspired by the Zenana, the queen's quarters of the Mughal court, the hotel is crafted in white marble and brought to life through hand-carved arches, intricate jaali screens, thikri mosaic work and details by local master artisans.

At the heart of the experience is the brand's legendary Raffles Butler Service, complemented by progressive North Indian cuisine at Arkaa, the London Tea Exchange experience at Safir Tea & Champagne Lounge, rooftop dining at Sehara and a 620-square-metre spa. A curated programme of artisan masterclasses, private concerts and cultural experiences further invites guests to discover Rajasthan through a distinctly Raffles lens.

Writers Bar: A literary legacy, reimagined in Jaipur

Adding to the double recognition, Writers Bar has been named among Tatler Best India's Top 20 Bars. Inspired by the literary heritage of Raffles Singapore, the bar is reinterpreted in Jaipur through a library-inspired setting of pastel blue and white interiors, hand-painted Mughal motifs and hand-carved arches.

The signature Raffles Jaipur Sling brings the story full circle — a Jaipur interpretation of the legendary Singapore Sling, crafted with Indian dry gin, hibiscus and Chandrahas, an 80-herb royal Rajasthani liqueur.

Together, the honours reaffirm Raffles Jaipur's place among India's most distinctive luxury addresses, where legendary service, contemporary palace living and the spirit of Rajasthan come together.

Rajat Sethi, Cluster General Manager, Raffles Jaipur and Fairmont Jaipur, said, "Being recognised by Tatler Best India across both the hotel and bar categories is a proud moment for our entire team. At Raffles Jaipur, we believe luxury lies in creating a strong sense of place, where every detail helps guests connect with Rajasthan in an authentic manner. This recognition reflects the dedication of our team and our commitment to creating thoughtful, distinctive experiences that capture the character of Raffles Jaipur and the heritage of Rajasthan."
