Rent a real-life royal palace with a private butler on Airbnb

If you fancy a true luxury holiday, consider this real-life palace on Airbnb.

The suite in a 300-year-old property is available to book, and it even comes with a private butler.

Located in Jaipur in India, the palace is home to the region’s royal family but they are renting out a suite in one of the private sections.

It includes a lounge, kitchen, bathroom and private indoor swimming pool.

Apparently guests including Princess Diana and Oprah Winfrey have stayed there.

It does cost around £8,000 per night so it’s not exactly a budget option but it does look incredible if you have the cash.


All the proceeds from each booking go to the Princess Diya Kumari Foundation, a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting rural women and people of Rajasthan.

The stay includes a chauffeur-driven car from the airport and the private butler who can provide sightseeing recommendations, make travel arrangements and organise restaurant bookings for you.


You’ll also get a member of royal staff to escort you on a private shopping tour around the city.

Every day you will get breakfast and dinner at the in-house restaurant Baradari.


The description on the website says: ‘You can expect tailored menus featuring hearty Rajasthani dishes like laal maas, top shelf wine and champagne, as well as an interaction with the chef during these meals.’

There’s also a complimentary guided tour of the complex by a member of royal staff so you can learn all about the architecture, art and decor.


The Airbnb listing says: ‘A stay at the City Palace will provide an inspiring journey into the rich history, cultural heritage and artistic traditions of Jaipur’s royal family.

‘Guests will be feted by a private butler who will arrange curated city experiences including shopping tours, guided walks through local museums and other excursions.


‘Authentic Rajasthani meals may be enjoyed at the terrace overlooking the Aravalis, and peaceful daily breakfasts can be had in the company of peacocks who are often a sight at the Palace’s lush gardens.’

It sounds dreamy.
