Lovely pics :) Brought back memories of my visit to the blue city.
ReplyDeleteLoved your hotel... it must have felt like staying in a palace.
In fact, it WAS a palace, now converted to a hotel.
DeleteBeautiful, beautiful, beautiful pics! :) You are so tempting me to visit Rajasthan now. :)
ReplyDeleteLoved the pics of the suite. Which hotel is this?
This is the Balsamand lake palace, its an ITC (welcomeheritage) property. Super-expensive, but then we had ITC vouchers :)
DeleteYou have the knack of picking the most amazing places to stay in.. whether New Zealand or Incredible India.. I have so many posts of yours to help with research ;).
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I've already started an Xcel sheet for holidays from Bangalore :)
