ROYALTY ON AIRBNB

Have you ever wondered about the palaces of #India and the lifestyle of the royal families? 

You can now get answers to those questions. 

Airbnb has done a coup by getting the royal family of Jaipur to list a part of their palace on
#airbnb. 

The luxurious Gudliya suite will come with all the trappings including a private, indoor swimming pool and personal butler. Guests will also get a guided tour of the palace. 

The palace is symbolic and historic for many reasons: 

1. It is a 300-year old palace built back in 1727 and an architectural marvel. 

2. The royal family still lives there. Maharaja Padmanabh Singh (Pacho), the 21-year-old monarch of Jaipur, will play host to the guests. 

3. The palace has hosted guests like Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey and Princess Diana. 

The royal family does not need this additional money. So, the sales proceeds will go to a nonprofit working to develop and empower underprivileged communities in Rajasthan.

Yes, the price will still be steep. However, it is a great step forward and an opportunity for the royal family to open their home to people while also doing good for society. On the other hand, it is a great chance for people to experience the royal lifestyle from close quarters while also playing their role in philanthropy.

This is a clear win-win for the Airbnb guests, the royal family, and the communities that will benefit from the proceeds.
