Tourexpi
Strategically located at Jaipur’s Jawahar Circle,
the hotel will feature 275 exquisitely designed and spacious rooms, each
offering the utmost comfort for guests. Joining Sofitel, the only French luxury
hotel brand with a truly international footprint, the hotel will be a great
addition to support Jaipur’s tourism expansion, bringing French joie de vivre
and gastronomy, with four distinct restaurants and bars, where guests will
savor a varied culinary experience tailored to their preferences.
Furthermore, the hotel will offer over 5,000 square
meters of state-of-the-art meeting and banquet venues, providing the perfect
setting for exquisite weddings, grand events and outstanding gatherings.
Jaipur, known as the Pink City, is a jewel in
India's tourism crown, attracting domestic and international tourists alike. As
part of the renowned Golden Triangle tourist itinerary, which also includes the
cities of Agra and Delhi, Jaipur offers a rich tapestry of culture, history,
and architectural wonders.
"We are delighted to partner with EBU Estate
Developers Private Limited to bring the Sofitel brand to Jaipur and to
celebrate a new chapter in our journey in India. Accor’s offering is uniquely
positioned to harness the power of Indian travelers and this new signing is a
great illustration of our commitment to bring meaningful experiences, today
with the well-known Sofitel’s French art de vivre. With our unparalleled
portfolio of brands, Accor plans to open 30 new properties in the country in
the next 3 to 5 years and will continue to strive for excellence, making a
positive difference to our communities.” said Sébastien Bazin, Chairman
& CEO Accor.
The Sofitel Jaipur Jawahar Circle will feature an
array of facilities, including swimming pools, a spa, fitness center, kids'
club, and ample car parking, ensuring a truly memorable stay for every guest.
The hotel's extensive MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions)
facilities, spanning over 5,000 square meters, will be designed to accommodate
up to four large events simultaneously, further solidifying Jaipur's position
as a premier destination for weddings, corporate gatherings and social events.
“We are committed to delivering a flagship Sofitel
hotel that exceeds expectations and sets new standards of luxury in Jaipur" said
Vikram Sukhani, Authorized Representative at EBU Estate Developers Private
Limited. "This partnership marks the beginning of a long and fruitful
relationship with Accor, as we embark on a journey to develop multiple hotel
assets in the premium, luxury, and ultra-luxury segments over the coming years."
The Sofitel Jaipur Jawahar Circle, which will join
sister luxury hotels Fairmont Jaipur and Raffles Jaipur (opening mid 2024),
represents a significant addition to Accor's portfolio in India and underscores
the company's commitment to expanding its presence in key international leisure
and MICE destinations. With its unparalleled luxury, impeccable service, and
strategic location, the hotel is poised to become a beacon of hospitality
excellence in North India.
Accor remains steadfast in its commitment to expand
its presence in India, with a strategic focus on cultivating the Sofitel brand
in the main urban and leisure destinations such as New Delhi, Goa, and
Bengaluru, building upon the success of Sofitel Mumbai BKC. Additionally, our
roadmap includes the enhancement of our portfolio with the introduction of our
collection brands, Emblems and MGallery, through the conversion of select
properties across the region.
