Hilton to debut in Udaipur with first Hilton Hotels & Resorts property

Hilton has announced the signing of its flagship brand, Hilton Hotels & Resorts in Udaipur, marking its debut in the city. Developed in partnership with Elysian Hotels Private Limited, the 118-key Hilton Udaipur is slated to open in early 2026. Hilton currently operates two hotels in Rajasthan, namely Hilton Jaipur and DoubleTree by Hilton Jaipur Amer. The signing solidifies Hilton’s commitment to broadening its portfolio in the northwestern state, following the signings of its Waldorf Astoria brand in 2023 and India’s third Conrad Hotels & Resorts property in Jaipur, earlier this year.  

The new-build Hilton Udaipur will offer views of the city’s famous lakes and palaces including Lake Pichola and Fateh Sagar Lake. Hilton Udaipur will offer 118 exquisite guest rooms and spacious suites across verdant gardens, each designed to reflect the destination's unique aesthetic and cultural ethos.

It will offer a distinctive blend of contemporary amenities and traditional charm. Catering to the booming weddings market in Rajasthan, the hotel will offer 1,850 sq m of indoor and 438 sq m of outdoor event spaces including lawns, and courtyards making it an ideal choice for hosting destination weddings, social gatherings, and corporate meetings. The hotel's four dining outlets span an all-day restaurant, a speciality venue, and a bar, while the extensive recreational amenities will include an outdoor pool, spa, fitness centre, and an executive lounge.  

Zubin Saxena, Senior Vice President and Regional Head, Hilton, South Asia stated, “The signing of our first Hilton in Udaipur marks a significant growth milestone for us as it ties in with our strategic expansion plan of being present in India's most prized tourism destinations. Udaipur, often referred to as ​the ​Venice of the East, is a preferred destination for both international and domestic travellers for both tourism and weddings. This presents an exceptional opportunity for us to cater to the rising accommodation demands of the city. We found a wonderful partner in Elysian Hotels and together we will deliver exceptional hospitality experiences to guests in the charming city of Udaipur.” 

Ravindra Singh, Director, Elysian Hotels Private Limited, added, “As we embark on ​our ​first hospitality venture, that too with the globally recognised brand like Hilton, we take pride in bringing Udaipur’s first Hilton Hotels & Resorts property. This hotel, situated in ​the ​city’s iconic lake precinct will set a new benchmark for hospitality experiences reflective of the region’s regal splendour and will contribute to Udaipur's growing appeal and desirability as a preferred tourist and wedding destination.”
