In a significant development for India’s hospitality sector, Accor, a globally recognized hospitality group, has announced a partnership with EBU Estate Developers Private Limited for the establishment of a luxurious Sofitel hotel in Jaipur. This collaboration marks a milestone in Accor’s expansion plans in India and signifies a promising addition to Jaipur’s hospitality landscape.
Scheduled to open its doors in 2028, the Sofitel Jaipur Jawahar Circle aims to redefine hospitality standards in the Pink City. Strategically located at Jaipur’s iconic Jawahar Circle, the hotel will feature 275 meticulously designed rooms, each promising ultimate comfort for guests. With Sofitel being renowned as the only French luxury hotel brand with a truly international footprint, the hotel is expected to bring a touch of French elegance and gastronomy to Jaipur.
The Sofitel Jaipur Jawahar Circle is anticipated to contribute significantly to Jaipur’s tourism expansion, offering a diverse culinary experience with its four distinct restaurants and bars. Additionally, the hotel will provide state-of-the-art meeting and banquet facilities spanning over 5,000 square meters, catering to exquisite weddings, grand events, and exceptional gatherings.
Jaipur, popularly known as the Pink City, holds a special place in India’s tourism landscape, attracting visitors from across the globe. As part of the Golden Triangle tourist circuit, which includes Agra and Delhi, Jaipur offers a rich blend of culture, history, and architectural marvels.
Expressing his enthusiasm about the partnership, Sébastien Bazin, Chairman & CEO of Accor, highlighted the significance of the Sofitel brand’s introduction to Jaipur. He emphasized Accor’s commitment to delivering enriching experiences tailored to Indian travelers’ preferences and mentioned the company’s plans to introduce 30 new properties across India in the next 3 to 5 years.
Vikram Sukhani, Authorized Representative at EBU Estate Developers Private Limited, echoed Bazin’s sentiments, expressing dedication to delivering a flagship Sofitel hotel that surpasses expectations. He underscored the partnership’s importance and outlined plans for developing multiple hotel assets across premium, luxury, and ultra-luxury segments in the coming years.
The Sofitel Jaipur Jawahar Circle joins sister luxury hotels Fairmont Jaipur and the soon-to-open Raffles Jaipur, further enhancing Accor’s presence in India. With its promise of unparalleled luxury, impeccable service, and strategic location, the hotel is poised to become a symbol of hospitality excellence in North India.
Accor’s commitment to expanding its presence in India is evident, with a strategic focus on cultivating the Sofitel brand in key urban hubs like Goa and Bengaluru. The company also aims to enrich its portfolio with the introduction of collection brands Emblems and MGallery, catering to diverse traveller preferences across the region.
