Hilton to Debut Luxury Brand Signia by Hilton in Asia Pacific with First Hotel in Jaipur, India

JAIPUR, India – Hilton (NYSE: HLT) has announced the signing of its first Signia by Hilton hotel in Asia Pacific, set to open in Jaipur, India. This signing underscores Hilton’s continued focus on strengthening its luxury portfolio in India, alongside global luxury brands including Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts and Conrad Hotels & Resorts. Signia by Hilton’s debut in India follows the recent opening of Signia by Hilton Amman, the first Signia by Hilton hotel outside of the United States, as the brand aims to grow its portfolio with highly anticipated properties in key gateway locations.

Developed in partnership with Sandeep Bakshi and Family LLP, the 216-bedroom hotel in Jaipur is set to open in 2028. Hilton currently operates two hotels in Rajasthan which include Hilton Jaipur and DoubleTree by Hilton Jaipur Amer. This signing solidifies Hilton’s footprint in the state, building on previous agreements including the signing of Waldorf Astoria Jaipur, India’s third Conrad Hotels & Resorts property in Jaipur, and its first Hilton Hotels & Resorts property in Udaipur in 2024.

Alan Watts, president, 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 makes it the perfect backdrop for Signia by Hilton, as we continue to diversify and accelerate our presence in India.”

Located 28 kilometers from Jaipur International Airport, with seamless access to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway (NE-4), the new property is just a three-hour drive from Gurugram, making it ideally positioned to attract travelers from Delhi NCR, a major domestic source market.

Sandeep Bakshi, managing partner, 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), 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.”

Designed to meet the growing demand for world-class meetings and events coupled with an exceptional stay, the property will include more than 2,250 square meters of event space, including a 9,700 square foot grand ballroom. Guests can choose from stylish standard rooms, executive suites and private pool villas. Highlights include the exclusive Club Signia lounge, a striking artificial lagoon, and diverse dining options with four outlets. Additional amenities, including a spa, fitness center, pools, and a kids' club, make it a premier destination for both business and leisure travelers.

Clarence Tan, senior vice president, 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.”
