Fairmont has officially opened its second outpost in India, unveiling the striking new Fairmont Udaipur Palace. Set across 18 acres in the Aravalli Hills, the 327-room palace marks a major milestone in Fairmont’s South Asia expansion and adds a new layer of opulence to the growing luxury landscape in Rajasthan.
The resort blends Rajputana-inspired architecture with contemporary details. With a layout modeled on the great fortresses of Mewar, the palace features traditional chhatris, courtyards, and terraces, alongside modern amenities like a 12,000-square-foot wellness sanctuary, private helipad, and seven dedicated event venues, including one of the region’s largest ballrooms.
“The opening of Fairmont Udaipur Palace marks a defining moment in Fairmont’s journey in India,” said Omer Acar, the CEO of Raffles & Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. “[It’s] a tribute to the timeless beauty and cultural richness of Udaipur, one of India’s most iconic and romantic destinations.”
