Hilton, a global leader in hospitality, continues to strengthen its luxury portfolio in India with the announcement of Conrad Jaipur, marking the debut of Conrad Hotels & Resorts in the renowned "pink city" of Jaipur. Developed in collaboration with SunnyRaj Properties Pvt Ltd, the new 246-key hotel is scheduled to open its doors in 2027. This significant milestone reinforces Hilton's commitment to expanding its presence in India's luxury hospitality market, following the successful introduction of Conrad properties in Pune and Bengaluru, and the signing of India's inaugural Waldorf Astoria in Jaipur last year.

Alan Watts, President, Asia Pacific, Hilton, expressed enthusiasm about Hilton's strategic expansion in India, stating, "India is a burgeoning hub for travel demand and a key growth market for Hilton. With Rajasthan boasting 75% of India’s heritage properties, Jaipur has emerged as a premier destination for tourism and weddings. We are delighted to partner with SunnyRaj Properties Pvt Ltd to introduce our award-winning Conrad Hotels & Resorts brand to Jaipur and cater to the growing demand in the wedding industry. This latest signing underscores Hilton’s track record of delivering superior owner returns, and we are excited to contribute to the evolution of luxury hospitality in the region."

The hotel's strategic location provides easy access to the new Jaipur Ring Road and Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, making it an ideal choice for both leisure and business travellers. Drawing inspiration from Jaipur's rich heritage and imperial history, Conrad Jaipur features a bold and sophisticated design that seamlessly blends traditional elements with contemporary flair.

Guests at Conrad Jaipur can indulge in a luxurious experience with a range of accommodation options, from deluxe rooms to suites boasting private plunge pools and an expansive Presidential Suite. The hotel's extensive event space spans over 1,800 square metres, complemented by meticulously landscaped lawns, courtyards, and gardens, offering an exquisite setting for bespoke celebrations, opulent weddings, and world-class events.

Candice D’Cruz, Vice President, Luxury Brands, Asia Pacific, Hilton, emphasised Conrad's commitment to delivering exceptional service and experiences, stating, "Conrad's entry into Jaipur underscores our dedication to luxury hospitality in India. Our hallmark remains genuine warmth and intent, and we are excited to infuse Jaipur's traditions with the contemporary flair of the Conrad brand."

The addition of Conrad Jaipur will redefine hospitality experiences for discerning travellers, reflecting our commitment to excellence, innovation, and customer delight."

With a current portfolio of 26 hotels in India and an additional 19 in the pipeline, Hilton is poised to triple its estate to 75 trading and pipeline hotels in the coming years. This growth trajectory underscores Hilton's steadfast commitment to establishing a strong presence in the region and reinforcing its leadership in the dynamic Indian hospitality market.

CGH Earth Saha, known for its collection of handpicked escapes, has introduced Marli Hill Bungalow in the Nilgiris. Nestled atop a quiet hill in Ooty, this six-room retreat combines colonial charm with modern comfort, offering guests an intimate stay steeped in history, art, and nature.

The bungalow’s character comes alive through antique furniture, wooden floors, handpicked artworks, and locally inspired textiles. Each corner reflects the elegance of a bygone era while staying rooted in the warmth of contemporary hospitality.

The dining experience is at the heart of Marli Hill, where guests gather in a colonial-inspired hall to enjoy meals prepared by in-house chefs. The menu blends traditional Tamil flavours with subtle British-Raj influences, all made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Leisurely afternoons are marked by high tea in the garden, complete with sculptures, flowering shrubs, and vintage garden furniture, while evenings feature alfresco barbecues under starlit skies.

What makes the stay truly personal is the team at Marli Hill, whose warmth and storytelling add depth to the experience. “Marli Hill Bungalow reimagines hospitality with a luxurious yet homely stay, nestled in the heart of Ooty,” said George Joseph, Vice President, Operations, CGH Earth.

As part of our Saha collection, Marli Hill represents everything we stand for: authenticity, sensitivity to place, and meaningful experiences. Designed for multi-generational families, friends, couples, and even solo travellers, Saha properties create an intimate setting where every guest is cared for with personal attention.”

Guests can choose to unwind by the fireplace, lounge, or garden gazebo, or explore Ooty’s attractions just a short drive away. From Doddabetta Peak and the Botanical and Rose Gardens to Pykara Waterfalls and Wenlock Downs, the region offers abundant natural and cultural richness. A nostalgic ride on the Nilgiri Mountain Railway, with stops at Dolphin’s Nose and Droog Fort, adds to the charm.

For heritage lovers, guided walks to colonial landmarks like St. Stephen’s Church or visits to Toda tribal villages showcase the Nilgiris’ layered traditions. Back at the bungalow, evenings close with barbecues and fireside conversations under the crisp Nilgiri sky.

With its quiet elegance, heritage character, and heartfelt hospitality, Marli Hill Bungalow stands as a soulful sanctuary in Ooty, a rare retreat that blends colonial nostalgia with the mindful luxury CGH Earth is known for.
