At this 4-star hotel you will find there is an accommodation that’s fitting for every budget. Room rates start from 300 INR (4.40 USD) for a simple dorm room featuring multiple beds. This price is for a single bed in the room, which has about 5 beds all together, making it a top option for those who may be travelling in groups. For 900 INR (13.19 USD) you will find yourself very comfortably situated into either a basic or a standard room, complete with free Wi-Fi access as well as a television that provides satellite programming in languages such as Hindi and English. If you are looking for something a bit larger or perhaps are travelling with family, there are multiple deluxe options available priced at 1200 INR (17.59 USD) to 1600 INR (23.46 USD), as well as the family room for 4 that starts at 2000 INR (29.32 USD) per night. These rooms also include the same Wi-Fi and television options, but also include an air-conditioner with heat and cooling settings, making it an optimal choice for those travelling during the summer. The Hotel Pearl Palace also offers a 30% discount rate during its value and pink seasonal plans which will be occurring in late April, May, June, July, and late December of 2016.

Enjoy the artistic ambiance of the rooms

You will find that each room is artistically decorated with artisan hand painted designs, along with the use of traditional Rajput architecture, containing a mixture of Mughal and Hindi structural styles, is also apparent throughout the hotel. Most of the rooms, with the exception of the dorm, are equipped with comfortable queen-sized beds where you can easily achieve a good night’s sleep. If you find you are in need of extra blankets or pillows, a quick phone call to the 24-hour reception is all it takes. The bathrooms are newly remodeled and you will have access to hot water 24/7, as well as being provided with the essentials, such as shampoo, lotion, soap, and a comb. Towels and linens are cleaned regularly, and there are also in-house laundry facilities. However, the less expensive options do offer a shared bathroom. You will also find a small library and computer room that is available to all guests, located on the first floor. After you have gotten settled in your rooms, you may want to ask about the luxury mini-bus tours that start at 9:00 am, having you back to the hotel at 5:30 pm. The tours cost 350 INR (5.22 USD) per person, and will show you all of the famous sites, including Hawa Mahal, the City Palace, the Mantar Observatory, and many others.

Dinner at the Peacock Rooftop Restaurant

Room service is available from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm, and the hotel specializes in traditional Rajasthani dishes, however, there are continental options available, such as Italian and Chinese-inspired cuisine. It is highly recommended that you dine at the Peacock Rooftop Restaurant, open during the same hours that room service is provided, and located on the rooftop. This hotel does not have an elevator service and you will have to use the stairs. The restaurant, and many areas of the hotel, are decorated and themed to resemble the Peacock, which is the national bird of India. The hotel does not allow “bachelor” or “bachelorette” parties, making it a terrific spot for a family dinner, or a romantic evening. The prices are extremely reasonable, ranging from 80 INR (1.17 USD) to 260 INR (3.81 USD) per dish. If you are uncertain what a particular word is describing, the wait staff is more than happy to help you. If you are in the mood for Italian fare, the bruschetta is filled to the brim with ripened tomatoes topped with fresh herbs, and the pastas are served in hearty portions, almost enough to be a shareable size. For those craving Indian cuisine, the paneer pakoras make an excellent starter dish. These are made using extremely fresh cubes of cottage cheese that are delicately wrapped in a chickpea flour batter before being deep-fried, and served with a side of mint chutney. The Paneer Reshami Masala is something you may find yourself ordering more than once. This surprisingly large portioned dish is a cottage cheese and gravy mixture that is full of creamy, cheesy, paneer mixed with ripe peppers and onions, all stirred into a tomato based gravy. The naan bread makes a wonderful accompaniment, especially for those who want to dip a little into the gravy! There are alcoholic beverages, such as beer and wine available at the restaurant as well for those who would like to enjoy an after-dinner drink.

After your dinner at the Peacock Rooftop Restaurant, before you make your way back downstairs, be sure to check out the silver shop. Located to the right of the cash register, under the peacock canopy, you’ll find a quaint boutique specializing in fine silver and high-quality gemstones. The prices are incredible, and are actually the cheapest I have found throughout the city. You will be dazzled by a plethora of rings, necklaces, and earrings that you could give as a nice gift, or keep as a little something for yourself. If there is a particular gemstone you are looking for, that you just cannot find, you can also opt to have the jeweler hand-make this item for you.
