The Leela Palace Jaipur Elevates Rooftop Luxury with The Amber Terrace
The Leela Palace Jaipur has introduced The Amber Terrace, an elevated rooftop destination that seamlessly blends royal heritage, regional flavours, and contemporary design. Set against the panoramic backdrop of the Aravalli Hills, the new space reflects Jaipur’s timeless elegance while offering a modern social and culinary experience.
A ‘Root to Fruit’ Philosophy Inspired by Rajasthan
At the heart of The Amber Terrace lies a distinctive ‘Root to Fruit’ approach, drawing inspiration from Rajasthan’s indigenous produce and botanical traditions. The cocktail and culinary programme reimagines ingredients such as roots, leaves, seeds, and fruits using contemporary techniques, creating flavours that are both grounded and inventive.
Herbs are sourced directly from the palace’s in-house garden, ensuring freshness and authenticity. An on-site mixology lab supports the creation of seasonal cocktails, allowing the team to experiment with local ingredients in innovative ways. Signature drinks such as the Peepli Picante and Ker Sangri Gimlet reinterpret regional flavours through a modern mixology lens.
Modern Asian Cuisine with a Global Outlook
The culinary offering at The Amber Terrace focuses on modern Asian small plates and globally inspired dishes, designed for shared dining and social interaction. The menu complements the cocktail programme, encouraging guests to explore bold flavours while enjoying the relaxed yet refined ambience of the rooftop setting.
Design That Balances Contemporary Style and Architectural Restraint
Architecturally, The Amber Terrace embraces contemporary restraint, featuring tactile materials, thoughtfully defined seating areas, and a striking central bar overlooking the surrounding landscape. As the evening unfolds, lighting and music transition the space from a serene sunset retreat to a vibrant social venue, enhancing the overall guest experience.
A Launch Celebrating Royal Legacy
The Amber Terrace was unveiled on the eve of the final match of The Leela Maharaja Sawai Man Singh Polo Cup 2026, reinforcing the brand’s connection to Jaipur’s royal heritage. The launch was attended by His Highness Sawai Padmanabh Singh, Icon of India by The Leela, who spoke in conversation with CEO Anuraag Bhatnagar about his association with the brand and its deep-rooted ties to the city.
The evening also brought together members of the fashion and cultural community, including Manasi Scott, Nikhil Mehra, Prahlad Kakkar, Malini Agarwal, and Monica Vaswani, adding to the event’s celebratory spirit.
Luxury That Feels Both Rooted and Relevant
Sharing his perspective on the launch, Anoop Pandey, Vice President and General Manager, The Leela Palace Jaipur, said, “The Amber Terrace represents our belief that luxury must feel both rooted and relevant. By drawing from Rajasthan’s indigenous ingredients and reinterpreting them through a contemporary lens, we have created a space that mirrors Jaipur itself, timeless in spirit, yet confidently modern.”
Envisioned as a natural gathering place for Jaipur’s discerning community and global travellers, The Amber Terrace reinforces The Leela Palace Jaipur’s position as a destination where heritage, innovation, and modern luxury coexist effortlessly.
