What hrh group of hotels does

HRH Group of Hotels, legally Historic Resort Hotels (HRH), is a privately held Indian hospitality company headquartered in Udaipur, Rajasthan, that operates a chain of seven heritage palace-hotels and sanctuary-resorts under the custodianship of the House of Mewar, a royal dynasty with unbroken lineage since 734 AD. The portfolio is segmented into three Grand Heritage properties (Shiv Niwas Palace, Gajner Palace, Jagmandir Island Palace) and four Royal Retreats (Shikarbadi Hotel, Garden Hotel, Fateh Bagh, Karni Bhawan Palace), supplemented by The Aodhi at Kumbhalgarh. Beyond overnight accommodation, the group monetizes the same physical assets through destination weddings (Regal Weddings, accommodating up to 1,000+ guests), corporate MICE events (Regal Experiences), film and television location services, multi-cuisine F&B, spa and salon operations, and cultural attractions including the Vintage and Classic Car Collection, City Palace Museum, and Crystal Gallery.

The business operates a sales-led model anchored by central toll-free reservations (1800 180 2933, 1800 180 2944), regional sales offices in Ahmedabad and Jaipur, and direct website booking inquiries, with B2B distribution via wedding planners, event management companies, travel agents, and destination management companies. Pricing follows a seasonal structure with Summer (April-September) and Winter (October-March) packages bundled with meals, transfers, and discounts, alongside guaranteed reservations requiring 100% advance payment. The group's primary customer segments are luxury wedding couples and families, corporate MICE clients, film and media production houses, heritage tourism enthusiasts, and luxury leisure travelers, served globally via the wedding planner and DMC channels and domestically via direct reservations. The company is currently led by Executive Director Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar following the 2025 passing of Chairman and Managing Director Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar.

Direct peers

• Oberoi Hotels & Resorts: The most direct Indian luxury/legacy hospitality peer. EIH (Oberoi) operates a portfolio of luxury city and resort hotels in India, including heritage-style properties such as Rajvilas in Jaipur and Udaivilas in Udaipur — competing head-to-head with HRH for the same high-end leisure, wedding, and inbound luxury traveler segment.
• The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts: Indian luxury heritage-leaning operator with a smaller, higher-AOV portfolio of palace and resort properties. Competes with HRH for destination weddings, luxury inbound travelers, and high-end MICE in India, with comparable brand-prestige positioning.
• Neemrana Hotels: Boutique heritage-palace restoration specialist operating multiple converted forts and palaces across Rajasthan and India. Closest direct peer by operating model (heritage conversion, weddings, leisure), competing for the same experiential-heritage demand at a slightly lower price point.
• Sujan Hotels & Resorts: Indian luxury operator (formerly SUJAN/Jumeirah) focused on experiential tented and palace hospitality (e.g., Rajmahal Palace, Sujan Jawai). Competes with HRH for high-end weddings, inbound luxury, and experiential travel demand in Rajasthan.
• Royal Heritage Hotels & Resorts: Niche Indian heritage hotel brand aggregating royal-family-owned properties across Rajasthan and other princely states. Closest comparable by ownership model (royal family), product (heritage palace stay), and customer mix (heritage tourists, weddings).

Broad incumbents

• Taj Hotels (Indian Hotels Company): Tata-owned incumbent and India's largest luxury hotel chain. Taj operates heritage and palace-style properties across Rajasthan (e.g., Rambagh Palace, Umaid Bhawan, Lake Palace) and competes with HRH across weddings, MICE, and luxury leisure, while offering materially greater global distribution and loyalty reach.
• WelcomHeritage (by ITC Hotels): Heritage hotel brand under ITC Hotels aggregating converted palaces, forts, and havelis across India. Competes with HRH in the heritage-stay category at multiple price points and benefits from ITC's distribution and F&B ecosystem.
• Aman Resorts: Global ultra-luxury operator that has entered India (Aman-i-Khas, Aman New Delhi) and is expanding across heritage-relevant destinations. Sets the upper benchmark for ADR and global luxury inbound guests, raising the competitive ceiling in properties that compete with HRH for ultra-high-net-worth travelers.
• ITC Hotels (Luxury Collection): Diversified Indian luxury and business hotel operator with growing heritage presence (WelcomHeritage). Competes with HRH across MICE, weddings, and luxury leisure, with materially larger distribution and loyalty infrastructure.

Emerging players

• Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas: Global ultra-luxury operator with an India expansion (Six Senses Fort Barwara in Rajasthan). Targets the same experiential-luxury and wellness guest as HRH's spa and heritage properties, and brings stronger global distribution to bear on the same inbound pool.
