Eight Continents Hotels & Resorts unveiled its ultra-luxury brand, Legacy Hotels, at The Great India Travel Bazaar 2025. Presented alongside global travel leaders, this new division aims to redefine aristocratic hospitality by converting royal residences into immersive, world-class palace experiences for discerning travelers.
Legacy Hotels goes beyond being just a collection of luxury properties. It pays homage to India’s majestic heritage by blending noble traditions, timeless architecture, and contemporary elegance.
The brand builds itself on five core pillars: regal legacy, timeless luxury, architectural magnificence, personalized hospitality, and cultural immersion. Rather than treating these aspects separately, Legacy seamlessly integrates them to create an unforgettable experience.
Each Legacy Hotel carefully restores and transforms a unique royal residence into an ultra-luxury retreat. The hotel welcomes guests with grand ceremonial arrivals, provides attentive service through personal butlers, and offers specially curated experiences such as private palace dinners, horseback safaris, and barge cruises.
The dining experience draws inspiration from ancient royal kitchens, while wellness offerings combine traditional therapies with contemporary spa treatments—creating a perfect blend of indulgence, heritage, and rejuvenation.
Speaking at the brand’s unveiling, Haninder Sachdeva, CEO of Eight Continents Hotels & Resorts, said, “Legacy is a soulful tribute to the art of noble living. In an age where speed and uniformity dominate, Legacy offers a rare and deeply enriching experience. These are not hotels, but sanctuaries of history, storytelling, and soul, designed to help our guests connect with the grandeur of the past while enjoying the sophistication of the present.”
Legacy Hotels designs experiences for high-net-worth individuals, royalty enthusiasts, destination wedding travelers, and the global elite, allowing them to truly live royalty rather than just remember it.
By debuting at one of Asia’s most influential travel platforms, Eight Continents has made a strong statement: Legacy Hotels represents not only its expansion into the ultra-luxury segment but also sets a new global standard in heritage hospitality. The first signature palaces under the Legacy brand will soon open across India, the Middle East, and Europe, inviting guests worldwide to immerse themselves in a realm of grandeur and elegance.
