The story of Jaipur begins in 1727 when Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the ruler of Amber, founded the city. Designed by the architect Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, Jaipur was meticulously planned with wide streets, parks, and grand palaces. Today, many centuries later, this opulence continues to shimmer in the city’s bylanes, with visitors from around the world thronging to see a tint of The Pink City. And the numbers don’t seem like they’ll be dwindling any time soon.
Official tourism statistics from the New Rajasthan Tourism Policy, 2019 (https://www.tourism.rajasthan.gov.in/content/dam/rajasthan-tourism/english/pdf/acts-and-policy/New-Rajasthan-Tourism-Policy-2019.pdf) reveal that tourist arrivals in the state increased from 8.4 million in 2001 to 52 million in 2018, indicating significant growth in tourism over the years. The city’s infrastructure, too, has grown in tandem with these rising tourist numbers. Jaipur International Airport, which serves as a major gateway to Rajasthan, has seen an increase in international flights. According to the Airports Authority of India (https://www.ceicdata.com/en/india/airport-authority-of-india-passenger-traffic/passenger-traffic-international-airports-jaipur), December 2024 recorded 5,89,820 international passengers, up from 5,57,588 in November.
Catering to this surge, luxury hotels around the world are quickly jumping onto the bandwagon. The Radisson Hotel Group and the Hilton are two such forerunners.
Global Hotels Land in Jaipur
Radisson Hotel Group is set to elevate its presence in Rajasthan with the signing of the Radisson Collection Resort & Spa, Jaipur, marking the group’s fourth property in the city and its third Radisson Collection hotel in South Asia.
Similarly, Hilton, too, is spreading its wings. Taking its luxury offerings in India to new heights, the global hospitality brand announced in a press release the announcement of Signia by Hilton Jaipur, further strengthening its luxury portfolio in the region.
At each, celebrating the picturesque destination is paramount.
