In the News: Rajasthan Newcomer

For decades, Indian palace hotels were synonymous with the Taj group, and first-time visitors to the subcontinent would inevitably find themselves strolling the lawns at the Rambagh Palace in Jaipur at some point. Then along came Oberoi, with its modern versions of palace style at properties such as Rajvilas and Udaivilas.

Now, the market is set to be transformed by SUJÁN Luxury Hotels, which already operates three acclaimed tented camps in Rajasthan. Its latest venture, SUJÁN Rajmahal Palace, will open in Jaipur in November. The 18th-century palace has been comprehensively modernized and 
refurbished, yet retains its Mughal splendor. 
I will report as soon as possible.
