HRH Group of Hotels, or Historic Resort Hotels Pvt. Ltd., is a chain of heritage hotels with its head office in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India.
History
In 1959, Bhagwat Singh Mewar decided to convert Jag Niwas Palace into Udaipur's first luxury hotel, hoping it would attract tourists to Udaipur.[1] He opened its gates in 1961.[2] His son, Arvind Singh Mewar, established the HRH Group of Hotels in 1986, some fifteen years after the Government of India abolished privy purses and princely privileges.[2][3] A total of five palaces in and around Udaipur were converted into hotels to form the group.[3]
Arvind Singh Mewar served as chairman and managing director until his death in 2025, with Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar acting as executive director during that period.[4][5] Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar now holds the position of chairman and managing director.
It is the only chain of heritage hotels and resorts under private ownership.[6]
Properties
The group currently manages 10 hotels and resorts with approximately 600 rooms across Rajasthan.[7] Some of the properties they manage are:
- Shiv Niwas Palace, Udaipur
- Gajner Palace, Bikaner
- Jagmandir Island Palace, Udaipur
- Shikarbadi Hotel, Udaipur
- Garden Hotel, Udaipur
- Fateh Bagh, Ranakpur
- Karni Bhawan Palace, Bikaner
