Literally palatial and like sleeping with history, this hotel occupies an 18th-century former royal guesthouse adjoining the Jehangir Mahal. The eight different rooms are all gorgeous, with colourful traditional-style paintings, thick, pelmeted curtains, cute alcoves and bathrooms that could give you agoraphobia. If you can afford it, go for a suite and pretend to be a king for a day.
Wi-fi is unreliable.
