Hilton has revealed the signing of its inaugural Signia by Hilton hotel in Asia Pacific, which is slated to open in Jaipur, India. This marks the brand’s first entry into India, following the launch of Signia by Hilton Amman, the first property outside the United States. The brand is focused on expanding its portfolio with exciting new developments in prime gateway destinations.
The 216-room hotel in Jaipur, developed in collaboration with Sandeep Bakshi and Family LLP, is scheduled to open in 2028. Hilton currently operates two hotels in Rajasthan, including Hilton Jaipur and DoubleTree by Hilton Jaipur Amer.
Alan Watts, president of Asia Pacific, Hilton, said, “This signing marks the exciting debut of our Signia by Hilton brand in Asia Pacific, as we further deploy Hilton’s award-winning luxury portfolio to expand our premium offerings in key gateway destinations. Jaipur’s rich cultural heritage, vibrant tourism sector, and growing significance as a thriving business hub make it the perfect backdrop for Signia by Hilton as we continue to diversify and accelerate our presence in India.”
Situated 28 km from Jaipur International Airport and offering easy access to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway (NE-4), the new property is only a three-hour drive from Gurugram. This makes it perfectly located to appeal to travelers from the Delhi NCR, a key domestic market.
Sandeep Bakshi, managing partner of Sandeep Bakshi and Family LLP, said, “Jaipur has long been synonymous with luxury, heritage, and world-class hospitality. As Rajasthan continues to attract discerning luxury travelers and high-profile business guests, the arrival of Signia by Hilton marks a pivotal moment in elevating the city’s hospitality stature. We’re excited to collaborate with Hilton to bring this brand to the city, which is beaming with growing demand from luxury guests and business travelers.”
Akansha Bakshi, chief operating officer (COO) of Sandeep Bakshi and Family LLP, added, “Our vision is to bring a world-class luxury experience to Jaipur, blending contemporary elegance with the city’s rich cultural heritage. Signia by Hilton will offer an elevated experience tailored to discerning travelers and event planners looking for world-class services. With this property, we are poised to meet the needs of business leaders, global travelers, and those seeking opulent celebrations and event experiences.”
The property is designed to cater to the increasing demand for top-tier meetings and events, along with an exceptional guest experience. It will feature over 2,250 square meters of event space, including a grand ballroom of 9,700 square feet. Guests can choose from elegant standard rooms, executive suites, and private pool villas. Notable features include the exclusive Club Signia lounge, a striking artificial lagoon, and a variety of dining options across four outlets. Additional amenities, such as a spa, fitness center, pools, and a kids’ club, position the property as a premier destination for both business and leisure travelers.
Clarence Tan, senior vice president of development, Asia Pacific, said, “The signing of Signia by Hilton Jaipur puts us on track to more than double our luxury estate in India following the signings of Waldorf Astoria Jaipur and Conrad Jaipur, which highlights our commitment to serving sophisticated luxury customers seeking vibrant offerings that meet both business and leisure needs.”
