Rambagh Palace, Jaipur, India
The Rambagh Palace in Jaipur is the former residence of the Maharaja of
Jaipur.
The first building on the site was a garden house built in 1835 for the
wet nurse of prince Ram Singh II. In 1887, during the reign of Maharaja
Sawai Madho Singh, it was converted into a modest royal hunting lodge,
as the house was located in the midst of a thick forest at that time. In
the early 20th century, it was expanded into a palace to the designs of
Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob. Maharajah Sawai Man Singh II made Rambagh his
principal residence and added a number of royal suites in 1931. After
India became independent and the princely states united, the Palace
became the Government House. By the 1950s, the royal family felt that
the upkeep of the palace and its 47 acres (190,000 m2) of gardens was becoming very costly. Therefore, in 1957 they decided to convert it into a luxury hotel.
