If you have always felt a little too regal for regular run-of-the-mill hotel suites, one Airbnb host is ready to cater to those looking to unleash their inner royalty.
According to Insider, Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh just became the first royal Airbnb host and has listed the Gudiya Suite in the City Palace of Jaipur, India on the vacation rental site.
The gorgeous 300-year-old palace was built in 1727 and is home to Jaipur’s royal family, with previous guests including Oprah Winfrey and the late Princess Diana.
According to Insider, the Gudiya Suite is located in one of the palace’s private sectors and comes complete with its own butler and private indoor swimming pool.
“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,” the Maharaja said in a statement. “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 hospital will be shared with others.”
The royal suite will be available on Airbnb starting November 23rd and is priced at $8,000 USD per night.
