Marriott has announced the signing of a Ritz-Carlton resort in Jaipur, Rajasthan. This marks the debut of this brand in Rajasthan’s capital city.
Anticipated to debut in January 2028, the Ritz-Carlton resort will bring its “legendary service and classic modern design” to Jaipur. The resort will feature 250 guest rooms and suites. Plans also call for the resort facilities to include The Ritz-Carlton Lobby Lounge, a destination spa, replete with an indoor pool, six eclectic casual and fine dining restaurants and bars and multiple meeting and event spaces.
We are thrilled to unveil the strategic addition of The Ritz-Carlton Jaipur to our Marriott Bonvoy portfolio, fortifying our presence in the vibrant city of Jaipur where we currently have five operational hotels. Our collaboration with Gurnani Resorts and Hotels underscores our enduring commitment to India, a country known for its strong and rapidly growing economy. The burgeoning domestic market’s interest in luxury travel is fueling an increase in demand for renowned global luxury brands. This strategic signing showcases our commitment to thoughtfully grow our iconic brands in destinations where we know our guests want to travel most.

Jaipur, with its honeycomb-inspired palaces and towering forts, stands as one of India’s architectural wonders. Nestled amidst the vibrant city, The Ritz-Carlton Jaipur is poised to offer travelers a sanctuary of royal luxury intertwined with culturally rich local experiences. The resort’s planned location enjoys superb connectivity to key tourist attractions via NH48, with historical landmarks like Amer Fort, Hawa Mahal Palace, The City Palace, Nahargarh Fort, and the iconic Jantar Mantar all conveniently located within a 50-minute drive from the resort.
It is my pleasure to have forged this strategic collaboration with Marriott International- the world’s largest hospitality group. The Ritz-Carlton, one of Marriott’s most prestigious brands, is known for its high level of service standards and a legacy of exquisite hospitality. In bringing such a prestigious brand to our heritage capital city of Jaipur, we aim to deliver the same legacy of luxury and elegance that every Ritz-Carlton embodies, while reflecting the timeless traditions and rich culture of Rajasthan. The Ritz-Carlton Jaipur is slated to be the first unique Villa Resort Development in Rajasthan, and we look forward to a long-standing association with Marriott International.
said Mohan Das Gurnani, Chairman of Gurnani Group (with whom Marriott has partnered with for this resort).
The resort is expected to feature artfully designed spaces, reflective of the history, heritage and natural environment of the destination.
Jaipur is one of the hottest hospitality markets right now in India, with international brands debuting in India with a property in Jaipur.

Marriott is also expected to open a W Hotel in the city. Also, Accor is expected to open a Raffles resort this year just beside the Fairmont Jaipur.
