Anantara Hotels & Resorts, the experiential luxury brand of Minor Hotels has unveiled its first property in India—Anantara Jewel Bagh Jaipur
Serving as a peaceful gateway to the Pink City’s many cultural attractions, the luxurious retreat is a sanctuary of verdant grounds and palatial architecture. By overlaying royal design with immersive cultural experiences, Anantara Jewel Bagh Jaipur offers a window into a bygone era when some of India’s oldest dynasties—known as proud warriors and patrons of the arts—ruled Rajasthan.
Grand and intricately decorated, on approach, Anantara Jewel Bagh Jaipur emerges like a resplendent “garden of jewels” it is named after. To create a building that speaks to the area’s history, the architects drew from a classical Rajasthani ancestral palace, blending this sense of royal heritage with modern elegance synonymous with Anantara. Graceful arches frame the façade, while traditional bay windows, known as jharokhas, add beauty and classic appeal to the exterior, inviting natural light and scenic views. Overhanging structures like chhajjas provide both decorative refinement and practical shade.
Overlooking the serene inner courtyard or the city, 150 rooms and suites connect guests to India’s past through hand-crafted details such as intricate tikri glasswork, hand-carved woodwork and golden leafing.
Puneet Dhawan, Minor Hotels’ Head of Asia, commented, “The debut of the Anantara Jewel Bagh Jaipur Hotel is a proud milestone for Minor Hotels and the beginning of a bold new chapter in India. As the inaugural Anantara property in this remarkable country, the hotel reflects our commitment to marrying local tradition with world-class hospitality. India plays a crucial role as both a vibrant destination and a key market that inspires our global offerings, and Anantara Jewel Bagh Jaipur is the start of our accelerated growth to 50 properties in India within the next decade. We look forward to welcoming travellers into a new era of Indian hospitality.”
Ajay Gangwal, Managing Director of Anantara Jewel Bagh Jaipur, added, “It is an honour to collaborate with Minor Hotels in introducing the Anantara brand to India. This partnership has allowed us to blend local character and charm with world-class service, resulting in a hotel that is both a reflection of Jaipur’s rich history and a symbol of forward-thinking hospitality.”
Vimal Verma, General Manager of Anantara Jewel Bagh Jaipur, said, “At Anantara Jewel Bagh Jaipur, we are dedicated to curating an immersive experience that captures the vibrant soul of Jaipur. We have designed Anantara Jewel Bagh Jaipur to be more than just a place to stay—it is a gateway to the authentic flavours, stories, and artistry of Jaipur. Our guests can expect to journey through the city’s rich heritage right from our doorstep, enjoying a luxurious escape that speaks to the traditions and contemporary spirit of Rajasthan.”
