Hilton Hotels & Resorts is set to make a grand debut in Udaipur, the renowned 'City of Lakes,' by 2026, partnering with Elysian Hotels Private Limited to launch the first Hilton-branded property in the area. This move expands Hilton’s footprint in Rajasthan, where it already operates Hilton Jaipur and DoubleTree by Hilton Jaipur Amer, and follows the recent introduction of Waldorf Astoria and Conrad Hotels & Resorts in Jaipur.
The Hilton Udaipur will feature 118 elegantly designed rooms and suites, each set within lush gardens that celebrate Udaipur’s architectural and cultural heritage. Positioned to cater to both leisure travelers and the booming destination wedding market, the hotel will offer over 2,200 square meters of event space, including grand lawns and courtyards. Guests will also enjoy diverse dining options, an outdoor pool, a spa, a fitness center, and an executive lounge.
Strategically located near Udaipur’s iconic Lake Pichola and Fateh Sagar Lake, Hilton Udaipur will provide stunning views and convenient access to main transport hubs, further enhancing its appeal for tourists and wedding planners. Zubin Saxena, Senior Vice President and Regional Head for Hilton, South Asia, expressed excitement about the brand’s new venture, noting, “The signing of our first Hilton in Udaipur marks a significant growth milestone for us, aligning with our strategic plan to expand in India’s most treasured tourism locations.”
Ravindra Singh, Director of Elysian Hotels, echoed Saxena’s sentiment, emphasizing, “This venture, our first in hospitality, brings the globally celebrated Hilton brand to Udaipur. Hilton Udaipur will redefine hospitality standards in the lake precinct, contributing to the city’s growing allure as a preferred destination for tourism and weddings.”
Hilton's new Udaipur property joins its 55-strong South Asia portfolio, part of Hilton’s larger goal to grow its presence to 75 hotels in the region. With Udaipur’s unmatched charm as the 'Venice of the East,' this latest Hilton addition aims to set new standards in hospitality while adding to the city’s appeal as a prime tourism and wedding destination.

Ukiyo, the signature Japanese restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton, Pune, has been featured on 50 Best Discovery, the global platform that highlights outstanding restaurants, bars, hotels and vineyards across the world.
The inclusion comes as part of the platform's latest expansion in July 2026, which added more than 650 hospitality venues. The update also introduced over 75 new cities and towns to the platform, further broadening its global coverage of dining, drinking and travel destinations.
With the latest additions, 50 Best Discovery now features more than 3,500 hospitality establishments across 800+ cities and towns worldwide, including over 210 restaurants, 110 bars, 130 hotels, and, for the first time, more than 190 vineyards as a dedicated category.
Each venue on the platform, including Ukiyo, is selected based on votes from the expert voting Academies responsible for creating the annual global and regional 50 Best lists.
At The Ritz-Carlton, Pune, Ukiyo offers a contemporary Japanese dining experience that combines traditional techniques with modern influences. The menu features handcrafted sushi, sashimi, robata-grilled specialities and signature dishes designed for sharing, prepared using premium ingredients while staying true to authentic Japanese flavours.
Complementing the dining experience is an elegant al fresco bar, serving handcrafted cocktails inspired by Japanese artistry. The venue is designed to cater to intimate dinners, celebrations and social gatherings in a refined setting.
A key highlight of the restaurant is the Ukiyo Drift deck, home to Pune's iconic al fresco bar. Featuring Japanese-inspired mixology, seasonal ingredients and signature cocktails, the space has become one of the city's sought-after destinations for elevated evening experiences.
50 Best Discovery serves as a curated digital guide for travellers, diners and cocktail enthusiasts. More than 3,000 Academy members from around the world, recognised for their expertise in local hospitality scenes, contribute to the selection process. While the platform extends the annual 50 Best rankings, it is not a ranking itself, and venues cannot apply for inclusion. Instead, selections are made solely through recommendations from the expert voting Academies.
The inclusion of Ukiyo on the platform further strengthens The Ritz-Carlton, Pune's position as a destination for world-class dining and premium hospitality experiences.
