His Highness Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh said: “I am thrilled that my family and I are partnering with Airbnb to bring the splendour of Rajasthan to life for travellers from around the world.

“My own travels with Airbnb have made me feel very welcome in new cities and cultures, and I am happy that the experience of quintessential Indian hospitality will be shared with others.”

The palace dates back over 300 years, built in 1727.
