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."

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."
