History of Jai Mahal Palace Hotel
The genesis of Jai Mahal Palace Hotel in Jaipur can be traced back to 1745 when it was built in a typical palace style by Hargovind Natani. The construction was marked with the use of high domes, chhattries and cupolas. The lattice work which was finally done upon all these involved intricate Rajasthani artworks. After the death of Natani, this Jai Mahal Palace Hotel was given back to the state and later in the year 1860, it was transformed into the official residence for the Residency Surgeon. When Sawaj Mann Singh took over the state of Jaipur in the 1920s, the name of the palace was changed to Jai Mahal, in honor of his second son Jai and one of his ancestors, Sawaji Jai Singh. Later in December 1955, this Royal entity was opened for certain selective guests. With the taking over of Jai Mahal Palace by the Taj Group of Hotels in 1984, the emergence of one of India’s leading Grand Heritage Hotels unfolded.
