The magnificent palaces of the maharajahs of northern India, many of which are now hotels, embody the resplendent range of Indian style and interior decoration. Vivid colors, delicate stonework, and opulent decor are the trademarks of the palaces, forts, and mansions of India’s royal elite. With their vast marble halls, jewel-box mirrored rooms, mosaics, and tapestries, these palaces present a veritable visual feast. In styles ranging from Art Deco to modern, from Indian folk style to English Colonial, the palaces of Rajasthan, dating from as early as A.D. 760 to as recently as the middle of the last century, are innovative and modern. This lavishly illustrated volume explores 21 of the most luxurious palace hotels, displaying their interior decoration in great detail, as well as showing their pleasure pavilions, gardens, and pools. Travelers, both real and armchair alike, can experience more than a thousand years of creative design and opulent decoration of these remarkable palaces.
