I recently stayed at The Raj - a whim with a friend. I was more than pleasantly surprised. The location is gorgeous, the building designed with purpose and while the gold trim might "date it" as other reviews suggest, the quality of material, carpet, etc. surpasses most 4 to 5 star hotels I've stayed at. But of course this is... More

Wow.....this place is great......Travel alone, or go with family/friends - it all works at the Raj! When you think the stress, pressure and fast-pace of multi-tasking 24X7 is taking too high a toll.......give yourself a needed rest & recharge. This place has it all, wonderful accommodations, service, great food, yoga, detox treatments, meditation, lectures, cooking classes, beautiful walks. You can... More

I have stayed at THE RAJ myself and found it to be a very nice place to relax. As for the guests I've had the pleasure of bringing to THE RAJ, they also found it to be a wonderful place to restore their well being. The treatments seem to work for them very well. The grounds they found to be... More

I was visiting Maharishi University of Management for a weekend and one of our excursions was a visit to this place. I spent the whole weekend learning about Vedic Science and it's various application. The Ayurvedic way of improving physiology is only one of them and yes it's based on taking the pulse. As I did not actually stay here... More

This is my fourth year in a row going to The Raj for Panchakarma. I love it and I disagree this is not for a single traveler as I go alone every year mainly because I am seeking some quiet time away from my stressful, demanding job and the big city. And each year I meet interesting people and I... More

I frequently stay at the Raj for rejuvenation spa treatments (about 12 times in the last six years). Even though I live nearby I stay there to get a way. The treatments are done in the best of the Ayurvedic tradition. The AyurVedic experts are well trained in the tradition. I always go away feeling better and cannot wait to... More

This hotel is one of a kind where you can get wonderful healing treatments steeped in silence and ancient knowledge. Very invigorating and healing and amazing healthy delicious food that tastes like it's prepared with love. Also check out the town of Fairfield which is nearby if you have the time. It is a unique fun little town with great... More

I was looking forward to checking out this hotel, it sounded really nice. Overall our experience was very disappointing, when we arrived, no one was there to greet us and we had a very hard time finding our room (or anyone to help us). The decor of the hotel was very fancy in the lobby but needs to be updated... More

I think one should read about Ayurvedic *medicine* before investing the money & time at The Raj. A read of a book called *Perfect Health* by Deepak Chopra, M.D. or one by Nancy Lonsdorf, M.D. called *A Woman's Best Medicine,* or *The Ageless Woman: Natural Health and Beauty After Forty with Maharishi Ayurveda* (Paperback) will give you an idea of...
