The Johri at Lal Haveli

1 / 10

The takeaway

Choose The Johri for a small-scale heritage stay inside Jaipur’s jewellery bazaar, with courtyard-facing suites and a distinctly vegetarian food-and-drink focus.

About the hotel

The Johri occupies Lal Haveli, a restored 19th-century home in Jaipur’s old walled city, amid Johri Bazaar’s jewellery shops and textile traders. Eight suites face an inner courtyard, while the hotel’s public life centers on a seasonal vegetarian restaurant and Pukhraj Lounge, where afternoon high chai gives way to cocktails. Rajasthani textiles, antique furnishings, traditional materials and hand-painted murals give the small-scale stay a distinctly local frame.

Choose it if

You want to stay inside Johri Bazaar, among jewellery shops, textile houses and the old city’s market activity.
You value a heritage setting with Rajasthani art and craft details rather than a conventional modern hotel.
You want a vegetarian restaurant and a lounge serving afternoon high chai and cocktails on site.

Skip it if

You need a car to reach the entrance: the hotel is down a lane inaccessible to cars, with a walk from the main road.

Guest discussion

What real people are saying.

Reddit excerpts · separate from Rex’s editorial judgment

One diner recalls the Johri as calmer and more appealing before it became popular on Instagram, and feels the food was better a few years ago. This is a retrospective dining opinion, not a report on staying at the hotel.

Discussion is limited; these accounts offer a glimpse rather than a broad verdict.

“Dined at the Johri before it became an insta star. It used to be so calm, with less people and more appeal. Taste was definitely better before few years.”

RAAS Jodhpur

Jodhpur, India

City40 roomsHistoric

RAAS Jodhpur occupies the Walled City’s north-eastern quarter, where an original 18th-century haveli and other historic buildings sit alongside contemporary additions. The 40-room-and-suite hotel frames Mehrangarh Fort from a courtyard setting; the hotel says nearly every room has a fort panorama. Its design pairs carved Rajput stonework and rose-red sandstone with black terrazzo, Jodhpur-blue accents and contemporary art. Stepwell Square and the surrounding Old Town lanes give the stay a distinctly urban context.

The Oberoi Rajvilas, Jaipur

Jaipur, India

City71 roomsRomantic

Set across 32 acres on Jaipur’s southeastern side, The Oberoi Rajvilas turns a resort stay into a stylised retreat from the city. Domed pink architecture, reflection pools and quiet courtyards shape the grounds, where rooms, tents and villas sit in landscaped gardens. The design draws on traditional Rajasthani forms, while Maharaja-inspired luxury tents add a distinct accommodation option. Central Jaipur is about 10 kilometres away, so the property works best as a base for planned outings rather than a stay in the old city.

Samode Palace

Samode, India

City43 roomsHistoric

In Samode village, about 45 km from Jaipur, this 43-room heritage hotel occupies a former Rajput fort at the edge of the Aravalli hills. Redesigned in the 19th century, the palace brings together Indo-Saracenic architecture, hand-painted murals, the mirror-work Sheesh Mahal and courtyard gardens. Its small scale and richly decorated historic rooms make the building itself the main draw; village walks and visits to local markets offer a way to look beyond the palace walls.

Royal Mansour Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

City53 roomsUltra-Luxury

Royal Mansour Marrakech is a 53-riads-only hotel set across a 5-hectare estate inside Marrakech’s imperial city, a short walk from Jemaa el-Fna. Rather than standard rooms, guests stay in multi-storey private riads linked by winding alleyways, courtyards and gardens, reinforcing the hotel’s self-described “medina within a medina” concept. The defining experience is less a conventional palace stay than an immersion in Moroccan craftsmanship, privacy and spatial drama on a grand urban scale.

Soori Penang

George Town, Malaysia

CityHistoric

In George Town’s UNESCO World Heritage district, Soori Penang occupies 15 restored heritage shophouses beside Khoo Kongsi temple. The hotel offers 13 single suites, eight with a second storey and two additional bedrooms. Original architectural details remain part of the rooms, alongside contemporary design, warm timber and Peranakan touches. Its small scale and position within a living historic enclave make the stay as much about the surrounding clan-house heritage as about a base for exploring George Town.

Olinto Atlas Mountain Retreat & Spa

Marigha, Morocco

Mountain9 rooms

In Douar Marigha, Olinto occupies a leafy estate in the Ouirgane Valley, well away from Marrakech’s city streets. Its nine standalone pavilions pair private gardens with views of the High Atlas; some accommodation categories have private heated pools. The property’s character lies in the contrast between secluded, garden-led living and the region’s Berber villages and mountain trails. Spa and hammam treatments, seasonal Moroccan-Mediterranean dining, and guided outdoor experiences shape a stay centered on the valley rather than the city.
