Located in the heart of Bandhavgarh, the property sits close to one of India's most celebrated wildlife destinations, known for having one of the highest densities of Royal Bengal Tigers. Once the private hunting grounds of the Maharajas of Rewa, the region is renowned for its rich heritage, lush sal forests, scenic meadows, and the historic 2,000-year-old Bandhavgarh Fort, making it a sought-after destination for wildlife enthusiasts and leisure travellers.

Through this partnership, ALIVAA aims to combine its hospitality expertise with the destination's unique heritage, offering guests an elevated stay experience while expanding its footprint in India's growing wildlife tourism market.

Vikramjit Singh, Chairman and Managing Director, ALIVAA Hotels & Resorts, added:

"Our alliance with HHR Group reflects a shared set of hospitality values. As ALIVAA expands across India's premier leisure corridors, moving into wildlife tourism is a natural next step. Maharaja Kothi, Bandhavgarh will anchor our presence in Central India and set a new benchmark for boutique and experiential travel in the region."

Sharing his thoughts on the partnership, Maharaj Pushpraj Singh, Owner, HHR Group of Hotels and Resorts, said:

"Bandhavgarh holds deep personal and historical significance for us, and our aim has always been to offer a sanctuary worthy of its royal legacy and natural wonder. ALIVAA's operational expertise, distribution strength, and genuine respect for local heritage make them the right partner for HHR Group. Together, we look forward to elevating the guest experience so that every traveller feels the true essence of royal Central Indian hospitality, matched with world-class contemporary service."
