I love the drama whenever we arrive 🙂  Each hotel has their own unique way of welcoming their guests and they really make you feel important- just like a Maharaja/ Maharani 🙂

The Maharaja and his family live in this part of the Palace.  The government was taxing palaces so high – they either made part into a museum or a hotel

Main entrance to their home which is part of the courtyard that we pass

umaid-bawan-palace-jodhpur-09.jpg

At night, they light small tealight all around this courtyard!!!  SO SO BEAUTIFUL!! I was not able to capture it so well but it was really amazing.  Each arch had a tea light which went around the courtyard

I don’t remember if in the other places we stayed, there were many kinds of mirrors, but for some reason I noticed many beautiful mirrors at the Rambagh Palace.  These are the ones I noticed, there could have been many more kinds of mirrors in the Palace 🙂

It’s a bit of a hassle packing and unpacking suitcases while moving from city to city, but it’s all worth it!  It’s so nice to explore and visit new cities and staying in a new room 🙂  Love the printed blinds in the hallways

oberoi-rooms-agra-01.jpg

How cozy and how romantic!! This is a perfect honeymoon destination 🙂  I love it that when you go to the hotels in India – most of the things they have are all native.  It’s not imported and it is so beautiful – their linens, their toiletries, their furniture – almost everything is all local
