Rambagh Palace

The Context

Music Curator contemplated the sound design of the five public venues from the role the hotel plays in the city of Jaipur in the context of its Taj Group lineage.

The Music

In the Lobby and marble verandah, looking out to the garden, we created a soundtrack of shimmering lightness, inspired by the pastel colours of the walls and the dance of the garden’s butterflies.

In the Suvarna Mahal, a grand and palatial venue of Royal Gastronomy, we have meticulously recreated a musical atmosphere reminiscent of the royal courts of a bygone era—an ambience that complements the regal setting and elevates every dining experience into a timeless celebration.

In the Rajput Room, decorated as a tribute to the Maharani Gayatri Devi, we created a unique masterpiece of prestigious orchestral strings to accompany dignified Indian classical music.

The Polo Bar soundtrack evokes a quaint Belle Epoque charm at night, reminiscent of a fantasised aristocratic socialite life. It was the natural recipient of the graceful and romantic musical selections of the numerous Indophile and Indian jazz musicians, such as the late Amancio D’Silva, whom the Princess patronised. She bought him his first professional guitar, a Gibson. As a tribute to the artist and his patron, the Polo Bar is the only place on earth where Amancio’s works are performed daily.

On the outskirts of the Palace, a colonial train station has been transformed into The Steam Bar, whose entertaining soundtrack of Jazz and Soul music with a contemporary retro touch offers locals and guests the genuine edge of an urban bar.
