ROOTED, NOT REPLICATED UDAIPUR MARRIOTT'S QUIET SOPHISTICATION IN VERNACULAR LUXURY

In a city built on spectacle, Udaipur Marriott chooses nuance over nostalgia-delivering a hospitality experience that feels regional, relevant, and refreshingly real.

In Udaipur-where many hotels feel as though they're dressed for a wedding even on a Tuesday-the Marriott has taken a subtler approach. Poised between Fateh Sagar Lake and the Sajjangarh Biological Park, the Udaipur Marriott Hotel doesn't overwhelm with grandeur. Instead, it leans into its setting and cultural cues, expressing a design sensibility that feels rooted, not replicated.

This is by no means a palace hotel. Nor does it wish to be. What it is, however, is a deft reinterpretation of Mewar's regal aesthetic, told through filtered light, arched forms, and strategic planning. With 226 keys, expansive banqueting, and a hospitality programme built for weddings, leisure, and MICE, the property combines regional richness with international precision.

The approach aligns with property owner Dangayach Group's broader philosophy-to celebrate Rajasthan's cultural depth while elevating its tourism potential through thoughtful hospitality projects. Having established a presence in Jaipur and Jaisalmer, Udaipur was both a natural progression and a meaningful addition to the group's portfolio. This wasn't just about entering a new market; it was about deepening their commitment to the region's tourism narrative through a project that feels both timely and timeless.
