FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS CELEBRATES GROWTH IN INDIA WITH THE OPENING OF FAIRMONT UDAIPUR PALACE7/14/2025  Nestled in the verdant Aravallis, Fairmont Udaipur Palace blends the grandeur of Rajputana heritage with modern elegance, making it the perfect destination to experience the romance and richness of Rajasthan.
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, part of the global hospitality leader Accor, in partnership with Keystone Resorts Pvt. Ltd., proudly announces the grand opening of Fairmont Udaipur Palace — a breathtaking palace perched atop the ancient Aravali Hills in Udaipur, carved in stone, bathed in sunlight and steeped in tranquil calm. More than a hotel, this is an ethereal destination designed for modern day royalty; a realm where majestic design, immersive rituals, the romance of the hills and rejuvenation of the senses come together across a sprawling 18-acre estate. With 327 rooms and suites, seven distinct event venues, eight dining concepts, a transformative wellness sanctuary, and layered experiences built on Rajasthan’s poetic legacy of timeless art, craft and hospitality, this palace invites every guest into a world where awe meets artisanal creation. “The opening of Fairmont Udaipur Palace marks a defining moment in Fairmont’s journey in India—a tribute to the timeless beauty and cultural richness of Udaipur, one of India’s most iconic and romantic destinations. Known as the City of Lakes, this destination has long captured the imagination of travelers with its regal heritage, architectural splendor and serene landscape. This new palace reflects Fairmont’s commitment to honoring the spirit of each location we enter, blending global luxury with deep local resonance. We are proud to bring the Fairmont experience to Udaipur and to be part of the city’s enduring legacy as a jewel in India’s cultural crown.”--Omer Acar, Chief Executive Officer, Raffles & Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Palace Lobby A PALACE CARVED FROM STONE, OFFERING RICH TRIBUTE TO THE HILLSRooted in the distinct architectural style of Mewar’s great fortresses, Fairmont Udaipur Palace rises above rock and marble, chattris and courtyards, stepwells and terraces as a masterpiece sculpted to celebrate design, culture and the natural flora and fauna of the destination. Guests enter through the grand Raj Dwar, a dramatic fortress gateway flanked by cannons, setting the tone for a grand arrival into the palace. From the soaring dome and royal chandelier of the Palace Lobby with the enchanting virgin hills in the backdrop and breathtaking valley views to the shaded elegance of Panther Patio, the palace unfurls like a story etched in time— through intricately layered pavilions, gardens, colonnades and terraces that reflect the property’s design ethos that blends the region’s traditional craftmanship with contemporary style. The palace honors the primal forces through its three interconnected wings: Surya Mahal, the Sun Palace, bathed in golden morning light, Chandra Mahal, the Moon Palace, cool and contemplative and Agni Mahal, the Fire Palace, where glowing torch-lined corridors and flickering hearths evoke the power and presence of eternal flame. With a blend of handcrafted detail with sweeping views of the forested hillsides and sun-drenched courtyards, every space is steeped in comfort, beauty, and contemplative charm — a living tribute to nature, memory, and timeless design. At the heart of Fairmont Udaipur Palace is the majestic leopard, symbolizing resilience, grace, and quiet ambition. Depicted in regal sculptures and works of art, it celebrates the spirit of the wild with silent poise and power. The vibrant world of Rajasthani arts and crafts comes alive through the skilled hands of local artisans from villages supported by Fairmont Udaipur Palace. Every detail is a tribute to India's living heritage — from embroidered artworks, each a labor of love by village craftsmen, to shimmering deep blue panels lining the corridors and courtyards. These intricately adorned panels showcase Thikri work — a traditional Rajasthani mirror inlay craft — etched with motifs that reflect the region’s natural beauty and royal legacy. “Our endeavour was never just to build a hotel—it was to craft a world. Udaipur has always been a jewel of India, and with Fairmont Udaipur Palace, we wanted to create a destination within a destination—where every guest feels like a modern Maharaja or Maharani. This palace isn’t just built in stone and marble, but in stories, craftsmanship, and soul. From the hand-carved jharokhas to the grandeur of our architecture, every detail is a tribute to India’s royal heritage and Rajasthan’s timeless artistry. But beyond aesthetics, this project holds deeper meaning. Tourism has always been close to my heart, and Fairmont Udaipur Palace is my way of giving back—to the city, to the state, and to the spirit of Indian hospitality. We wanted to give Udaipur that global edge—a world-class hotel where people from around the world come not just to stay, but to celebrate, to unwind, and to feel the true soul of Rajasthan. It’s our homage to heritage, our tribute to tradition, and our promise to India’s future in luxury tourism.” — Somesh Agarwal, Chairman and Managing Director of ROCKWOOD Hotels & Keystone Jewel of Udaipur Suite Bedroom A PALACE OF IMMERSIVE STAYS & CULINARY REALMSGuests can choose from Fairmont Rooms, Signature Rooms with plunge pools, Luxury Rooms with garden or courtyard views, and an array of suites including the Fairmont Suite, Maharani Suite and the Maharana Suite — each offering elevated privacy, bespoke interiors, and personal outdoor sanctuaries. The palace also features a collection of specialty suites — including the Rajputana Suite, the Regal Mewar Suite, and the showstopping Jewel of Udaipur Suite with pool and terrace. At the pinnacle of luxury are the Royal Maharaja and Royal Maharani Suites, each featuring private pools, expansive terraces and bespoke detailing fit for modern royalty. The palace also presents a refined selection of culinary destinations, each envisioned as an immersive extension of its elemental architecture and cultural soul. Bahaar, the all-day dining venue, offers globally focused, locally sourced soul food, celebrating the comfort of regional Indian flavors alongside global inspirations. Dahaad, an opulent palace bar — named after a powerful roar — echoes the wild symphony of Rajasthan, centered around a thikri sculpture of a leopard, a motif of the region’s folklore. Dastaan is a lounge celebrating the art of storytelling. Its name, meaning narrating stories, sets the tone for thoughtful conversations, surrounded by curated coffee table books, artful sculptures and the warm glow of candles. Sitara, a sunset-facing space perched high above the palace gardens, offers cosmic cocktails and sky gazing rituals reimagined as an experience of taste and time. Zaika pays homage to bold Indian culinary traditions through a deeply layered menu of comfort classics and regional specialties, served with modern finesse. Finally, The Ivory Pool Bar offers a tranquil sunken retreat, surrounded by water and forest, where daylight bites and sundowner sips unfold in breezy rhythm. Following the debut of the property’s signature restaurants, Celeste, an avant-garde Asian bistro, and The Alchemist, a Mediterranean live-kitchen concept inspired by seasonal produce and nostalgic warmth, will open in the coming months, adding new dimension to the palace’s evolving culinary journey. Dahaad – The Palace Bar A THEATRICAL STAGE FOR GRANDEST CELEBRATIONSWith over 1,40,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor celebration spaces, Fairmont Udaipur Palace is built for occasions that are worthy of being etched in the memory. At its heart is Jewel, one of the largest ballrooms, featuring crystal chandeliers, hand-tufted carpets and a sunlit glass façade that opens into panoramic terraces, colonnades with valley views and the ceremonial gardens of Jashn Bagh. Another unique highlight is the palace’s dedicated events pool—a stunning, secluded backdrop for poolside soirées, or sunset cocktails. Additional Event Venues Include:
Signature massage rituals — rooted in energy meridians, aromatherapy, and natural movement — are designed not only for recovery, but revelation integrating the use of bespoke oils under the brand. For recreation beyond the palace, guests can explore Rendezvous — a vibrant activity zone designed to delight guests of all ages featuring mini golf, pickleball, paddle ball, ziplining, and a dedicated kids’ play area. For those arriving in style, the palace also offers a private helipad, ensuring seamless access and a spectacular arrival that sets the tone for an unforgettable stay. “At Fairmont Udaipur Palace, our vision was to create more than a hotel — a living palace that stirs emotion, celebrates culture and offers experiences that linger in memory. Every element has been crafted with intention and care. As we open our doors, our focus is on shaping a destination where luxury is not just seen or felt, but deeply remembered.”-- Vishrut Gupta, General Manager, Fairmont Udaipur Palace From its elemental design rooted in nature to its thoughtfully curated rituals of stay, celebration, cuisine, and wellness, every facet of the palace is crafted to inspire wonder, foster connection, and offer repose. As Fairmont deepens its legacy in India, this majestic address stands as a tribute to the enduring soul of Rajasthan — a destination where each sunrise holds promise, every gathering becomes a cherished memory, and every guest is received like royalty. With Fairmont Udaipur Palace, a new landmark is born — an invitation to the world to pause, breathe, and truly belong. Bookings can be made at https://www.fairmont.com/udaipur CC FORUM
Global Investment in Sustainable Development 28 September - 1 October 2025 Zurich CC FORUM is the leading global conference laser-focused on investment in sustainability Whilst the current geopolitical conflicts coupled with the energy and food crises in the wake of Covid19 pandemic are considered to be critical threats jeopardising corporations and industries, nothing can be regarded as a more existential one than climate change. More than ever the global situation has highlighted the interconnectedness and interdependence of the modern world. An understanding has emerged that it is no longer possible to continue to do “business as usual” and that a new breed of entrepreneurs, more environmentally and socially responsible, should be fostered in order to preserve our planet as we know it today. We as a generation have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rethink the world’s existing paradigm. Investors are becoming increasingly aware of how their impact can affect the world around them and are eager to invest in the ways that reflect their concern and respect for environment, for human dignity and for responsible corporate behaviour. The mission of CC Forum – an investment conference which is 100% dedicated to investment in sustainability – is convening the top business leaders, policy makers and public figures and defining the course of action we should collectively take to confront the existential challenges we are all facing today including climate change, fossil-fuel-based economies, overpopulation and poverty to name but a few. Therefore, in accordance with Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations, its topics centre around investing in Environment, Renewable Energies, Emerging Technologies, Healthcare, Education, Social Inclusion and Philanthropy connecting the brightest startups to the savviest of investors. CC Forum’s previous editions were inter alia held in London in October 2019 with a written royal greeting from the late HM Queen Elizabeth II, in Monaco in September 2020 under the High Patronage and with the participation of HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco and in the Kingdom of Bahrain under the auspices of HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince & Prime Minister in March 2022. The goal of the X edition of Climate Change Forum in Paris is exploring the prospects, challenges and business opportunities of investment in sustainable development as the world is entering its next stage of development.
