India’s royal state Rajasthan, gets a new address with the Jaipur Marriott

Marriott International has taken its signature Marriott Hotels & Resorts brand to India’s state of Rajasthan with the opening of the 365-room Jaipur Marriott Hotel. With seven food and beverage outlets and 43,000 sq ft of meeting space, the contemporary Jaipur Marriott is now Jaipur’s largest hotel in terms of rooms and event space. Popularly known as the Pink City, Jaipur is one of the finest planned cities of India and, with a population of more than 3.9 million, is a growing hub for business and leisure tourism. “With tremendous growth as a business hub during the past few years, Jaipur is set to become one of the most sought-after destinations for both leisure and for business travelers in India,” said Rajeev Menon, Marriott International’s area vice president, India, Maldives, Malaysia & Australia.

The Jaipur Marriott combines a sense of place with its plush, earthy tones and its light, airy interiors decorated with Rajasthani murals, latticework carvings and iconic stone carved elephants create an inimitable aura. The leather and wood combination on the ceilings, and water cascading on glass throughout the hotel makes it a welcoming universe. The heart and social hub of the hotel is the lobby which incorporates two of the hotel’s seven food and beverage outlets. The Jaipur Baking Company adapts the classic pastry shop, with an interactive open baking area serving freshly baked pastries and cakes, alongside wonderful pastas, salads and sandwiches. Lounge 18 is divided into clearly defined zones where guests can enjoy the lounge depending on whether they are working, socializing or just relaxing with a drink. All-day dining, Okra features international cuisine in a stylish, contemporary setting, while Aqua, the pool bar and deli provides an escape from the city and the Rajasthan summer. More F&B outlets are in the offering with Saffron, a fine dining Indian restaurant which will combine the rich tapestry of the sub-continent’s culinary influences from Maharajas’ palaces to quintessential Indian street food; Alto Vino, a modern and stylish Italian restaurant; and a multi-level nightclub and The Quan Spa, which will offer 10,000 sq ft of space for complete rejuvenation and fitness, with a an adult and kids’ pool. The Jaipur Marriott is equipped to host meetings, wedding parties and conventions on a scale previously not seen in Rajasthan, with two ballrooms; nine break away venues; four meeting rooms; a lawn for outdoor functions.
