The winners of Tripadvisor's 2023 Travelers' Choice Best Hotel Awards have recently been revealed. The online travel agency took under thorough analysis of 1.5 million hotel reviews spanning through 12-months from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022.

Additionally, it received recognition as the top hotel in India in the 2020 Conde Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards, where it also placed 15th overall.
The Rambagh Palace in Jaipur has been credited with being the most luxurious hotel in the entire globe. This majestic palace, which was first constructed in 1835, has been converted into a lavish residence and is referred to as "The Jewel of Jaipur." The Royal Family owns it and Taj manages it.
Rambagh Palace is an asset of Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces, a company famous for its outstanding portfolio of hotels across Asia. With more than 119 hotels spread across 61 sites in India and an additional 17 hotels abroad, including those in places like the Maldives, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA.
Rambagh Palace has been the site of several royal residences, including that of Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II and his queen, Maharani Gayatri Devi.
The crown of the Taj is the 78 exquisitely refurbished large luxury rooms and suites in Rambagh Palace in Jaipur, which once served as the erstwhile Maharaja's residence.
The palace has retained most of its ornate splendour, which was lavishly embellished with hand-carved marble "jalis" or latticework, sandstone balustrades, cupolas, and "chattris" or cenotaphs, as well as magnificent Mughal Gardens. Distinguished visitors including Lord Louis Mountbatten, Prince Charles, and Jacqueline Kennedy have been received at Rambagh Palace.
The greatest fine-dining restaurants in Jaipur are located inside this most magnificent of palaces, which showcases the best of Rajasthan's regal legacy. The guests of the palace can enjoy a multi-course regal Indian feast at Suvarna Mahal, a former palace ballroom with enormous crystal chandeliers designed in the French Baroque style of the 18th century.
