(TAN): Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) has announced the opening of Taj Amer in Jaipur.
The hotel’s design blends contemporary elegance while paying homage to Rajasthan’s traditional architecture and offers stunning views of the ancient Aravali range, IHCL said in a news release.
IHCL MD and CEO Puneet Chhatwal said, “IHCL has been in the Pink City for over 50 years. The culturally rich and historically significant city has evolved into a global tourist destination and important commercial hub. This opening is in line with IHCL’s vision of strengthening our presence in key markets across India. With the launch of Taj Amer, IHCL has grown to nine hotels across brands in Jaipur.”
Strategically located in Kukas, Taj Amer is a short drive from the Amber Fort and other popular tourist spots. Stunning marble arches at the entrance lead into the lobby with its high domed ceilings, lotus filigree work and carefully curated artworks. The 245 rooms and suites reflect the hotel’s grandeur with peacock motifs, intricate lattice work and rich textures, offering picture postcard views.
The hotel offers myriad dining experiences — from the all-day diner, Shamiana; a selection of international cocktails with trademark local flavours at House of Nomad to small bites at Emperor’s Court and the soon-to-launch Chinese cuisine at the signature House of Ming. The rooftop infinity pool is the perfect place for a bird’s eye view of the Pink City.
Jaigarh, the lavish 16,000 square foot pillarless ballroom, the adjoining 8,000 square foot lawns and spacious banqueting areas are ideal for weddings, business conferences as well as elegant soirees.
