Minor Hotels, a hotel operator involved in ownership, management, and investment, currently boasts over 530 hotels across 56 countries in the Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Europe, America, Africa, and the Indian Ocean, has announced plans to introduce the Anantara hotel brand to India under the name Anantara Jaipur Hotel. The newly constructed Anantara hotel is set to open in Q4 2023 and will feature a stunning venue for events and weddings.

Anantara Jaipur will comprise 150 luxurious rooms and suites, including four terrace suites with soaking tubs and a 160-square-meter royal suite with a large balcony and private pool. Dining options will include a fine dining Indian restaurant, a rooftop restaurant and bar, an all-day dining restaurant with an open kitchen, and a lounge bar. For relaxation and wellness, the hotel will feature Anantara Spa, which will include five treatment rooms, a salon, a gym, a swimming pool, gardens, and a kids' club.

To cater to the growing popularity as a wedding destination, Anantara Jaipur has been designed to accommodate weddings for up to 2,500 guests, with both indoor and outdoor event spaces for gatherings of all sizes. The ballroom, measuring 860 square meters, can host dining tables for 410 guests and can be connected to a 110-square-meter pavilion for an additional 50 seats. A large pre-function area can accommodate guests attending events in the ballroom and smaller banquet rooms for an additional 150 seats. The 3,800-square-meter lawn comes with space for staging and a kitchen to support weddings for up to 1,900 guests. The hotel has also created a dedicated entrance for guests attending events in the ballroom, along with a separate entrance for the pre-function area and outdoor event space for added convenience.

The hotel's beautiful lobby is airy with high ceilings and a grand staircase leading to various floors. The executive lounge features a spacious terrace, providing suite guests with a private meeting and relaxation area, while three meeting rooms connect to the reception and lounge area, equipped for various meetings.

Dilip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor International and CEO of Minor Hotels, stated, “We are very excited to expand our business into India with this new project that will offer the luxury of Anantara hotels along with outstanding venues for events and weddings.
