RAAS

What RAAS does

RAAS Hotels is a privately held Indian luxury heritage hospitality company operating a portfolio of five properties: RAAS Jodhpur, RAAS Devigarh, RAAS Chhatrasagar, Rajmahal Palace RAAS Jaipur, and RAAS Devanya in Kumaon, Uttarakhand. The company converts and operates culturally significant sites — palaces, a wilderness glamping retreat, and a Himalayan forest villa — as luxury accommodations, pairing deep cultural history with local design sensibilities. It employs 491 people across the portfolio.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model. The SynXis booking engine powers online reservations on raashotels.com, supplemented by dedicated reservation phone lines per property and a central reservations team. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with promotional packages including RAAS Hopper (multi-property road-trip bundle) and seasonal offers such as Book 3 Nights Pay for 2 (May–Sept 2026), Book Direct Save More (April 2026–Sept 2027), and Book 4 Nights Pay for 3 at Devanya. Ancillary verticals include RAAS Experiences (curated activities), RAAS Wellness, and RAAS Celebrations for weddings and events.

Sustainability is embedded in operations: Platinum LEED-rated air-conditioning, solar water heating, over 70% local sourcing of materials and labor within a 30km radius for RAAS Jodhpur, and an in-house organic farm (operating since 2020) supplying up to 70% of kitchen ingredients. The company has no publicly disclosed funding, parent, or institutional ownership, and is not listed. Marketing is content-led via the RAAS Journal, Instagram, and earned media in Condé Nast Traveller, Tatler, Architectural Digest, Outlook Traveller, and ELLE.

Broad incumbents

• The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts: Indian luxury palace-hotel brand (Leela Palace Udaipur, Jaipur) competing with RAAS in the high-end heritage segment while also running business hotels and resorts across India.
• ITC Hotels: Large Indian hospitality group with a luxury and heritage portfolio (ITC Mughal, ITC Rajputana) overlapping RAAS's Rajasthan luxury segment while also operating mass-market and business hotels.

Direct peers

• Taj Hotels (Indian Hotels Company): Operates iconic heritage palace hotels in Rajasthan (Taj Lake Palace Udaipur, Rambagh Palace Jaipur) targeting the same luxury cultural-immersion traveler as RAAS, with a much larger portfolio and global distribution.
• Evolve Back (formerly Orange County Resorts): Luxury resort operator in India (Evolve Back Coorg, Kabini, Hampi) with a similar heritage-and-nature-immersive positioning to RAAS Chhatrasagar and Devanya, targeting affluent experience-seeking travelers.
• Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas: Global luxury wellness-led hospitality brand with properties in India and a heritage/eco-resort positioning that closely mirrors RAAS's wellness-and-sustainability narrative at the ultra-luxury end.
• Aman Resorts: Ultra-luxury hospitality brand with a heritage-palace and wilderness-retreat positioning (Aman-i-Khas, Amanbagh) that directly overlaps RAAS's authentic-heritage luxury proposition at a higher price tier.
• Sujan Hotels: Boutique luxury hospitality group operating heritage properties (Sujan Rajmahal, Sujan Jawai) in Rajasthan, competing with RAAS on curated luxury experiences and direct-to-consumer brand storytelling.
• Oberoi Hotels & Resorts: One of India's leading luxury hotel groups operating heritage palace properties (e.g., Rajvilas Jaipur, Udaivilas Udaipur) directly competing with RAAS for the same affluent heritage-traveler segment in Rajasthan and beyond.

Regional players

• The Oberoi Group (Raffles/Trident portfolio adjacent): India-headquartered luxury operator with heritage palace properties in Rajasthan and other Indian states; not a single geography but a regional incumbent whose palace-and-immersive-culture proposition most directly mirrors RAAS's positioning.

Emerging players

• SUJÁN Luxury Hotels: Boutique luxury hospitality group (SUJÁN Rajmahal Palace Jaipur, Jawai) operating restored heritage palaces in Rajasthan with a comparable direct-to-consumer, experiential luxury model to RAAS.
