This establishment aims to redefine Indian hospitality, catering to both business and leisure travelers, providing them with a top-notch experience.
Situated in close proximity to the Jaipur Exhibition & Convention Centre (JECC), renowned as South Asia's premier venue for exhibitions, conventions, and entertainment, NJCC significantly bolsters Accor's capacity for hosting MICE events. This strategic alignment allows Accor to better serve the needs of business and conference travelers by combining excellent accommodations with world-class event facilities.

Conveniently located near Jaipur International Airport, the hotel offers quick access to key tourist destinations and commercial hubs. Spanning 42 acres, the hotel and exhibition center boast South Asia's leading pillar-less exhibition-convention-entertainment facilities, including 13 breakout meeting rooms, a VIP Lounge, 2 Green Rooms, and a Grand Ball Room with state-of-the-art technology and 740 retractable auditorium-style seats, making it ideal for conferences, exhibitions, gatherings, and weddings. The enchanting 70,000 sq. ft. lawn at Novotel Jaipur Convention Centre provides an exquisite venue for special events.
Puneet Dhawan, South Asia’s Vice-President Operations at Accor in India, expressed his enthusiasm for this grand opening, stating that "The Jaipur Exhibition Convention Centre represents a valuable expansion that is poised to fuel the growth of Accor in India, further solidifying our position as a leading provider of large-scale exhibition and convention venues in the country."
Manuj Ralhan, General Manager of Novotel Jaipur Convention Centre & Jaipur Exhibition Convention Centre, noted, "The opening of this beautiful property is a harmonious combination of contemporary design and world-class event facilities, marking a new and exciting journey for Novotel in the Pink City. With a strategic location, we will be truly a one-stop destination for world-class exhibitions, conferences, and events. The property provides heartfelt service, comfortable yet stylish accommodations and shared spaces in a relaxing and friendly atmosphere. We are thrilled to welcome guests to experience the unparalleled hospitality at Novotel Jaipur Convention Centre."
NJCC invites guests to savor a diverse and delightful dining experience, offering three distinct dining venues.

Meanwhile, the Gourmet Bar provides a casual and friendly space for trendy drinks, balanced meals, and coffee.
