The Johri Jaipur

The Johri is an intimate, luxurious boutique hotel housed within the meticulously restored 19th-century Lal Haveli in Jaipur’s historic Johri Bazaar. This former family home features just five sprawling suites, each a unique expression of Rajasthani heritage and design. The restoration, a nine-year labor of love, showcases exquisite craftsmanship with interiors by New York-based designer Naina Shah blending antique furniture, traditional textiles and ornate embroidery that maximalists will love. The suites overlook a serene inner courtyard, providing an immediate sanctuary from the surrounding market's vibrant chaos.

The restaurant serves an evolving, seasonal, and entirely vegetarian Indian menu focused on local, organic produce, and The Pukhraj Lounge features hand-painted murals and transforms from a high-chai spot in the afternoon to an intimate cocktail bar by evening. We especially love the small on-site Ayurvedic massage room and a private temple dedicated to Lord Ganesha, which maintains a 100-year-old tradition of daily worship.

Take advantage of the hotel's location by walking just a few minutes to the Hawa Mahal and City Palace. For a sensory experience, visit the nearby Phool Mandi (Flower Market) early in the morning and take a rickshaw back.
