Canadian-
based Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has recently marked its debut in India with the opening of Fairmont Jaipur in the ‘Pink City’.
Says Mark Sergot, Vice President- Global Sales, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, “All Fairmont properties offer a diverse range of experiences. We endeavour to integrate cultures of the market where we are offering our guests a memorable stay each day. One of the many unique concepts we will be introducing in the market is the Fairmont Gold rooms. Rooms on these floors offer enhanced luxuries and amenities including butler service, access to a dedicated lounge, seamless check-ins and a host of exclusive privileges that will add to the superior levels of service and hospitality we offer all our guests.” The furniture and decor at the palace are handcrafted on site by traditional artisans. Retrieved from old forts, the palace also holds a 300-year old door at the Baggi entrance, which is inspired by the local Rajasthani artwork and carving. Fairmont Jaipur also boasts of a pillarless 60,000 square foot of convention space, the largest in the region which caters to all business and leisure travellers.
Answering a query on whether the city is changing its dynamics, Atul Lall, General Manager, Fairmont Jaipur reveals, “Jaipur’s strategic location and its proximity to NCR along with proactive government policies have facilitated increased footfalls to the city on account of the leisure tour route – the Golden Triangle. Since the city has eventually shown great potential as a MICE destination, one of the key focuses at Fairmont Jaipur is MICE and we will offer a variety of serv- ice mix to business and leisure travellers.” To accommodate the area’s growing meetings market, Fairmont Jaipur boasts of 60,000 square feet of pillar-less conference space, the largest in the area.
Talking about what is the kind of Average Room Rate (ARR), the GM informs, “Fairmont Jaipur has opened at a time when the number of luxury room nights offered in the Jaipur city has gone up to 1,500 from 721 just two years ago. Last year, Jaipur also showed a 13 per cent rise in the average room rates. It is because of the nature of the hotel rooms that business is changing in Jaipur. Traditionally viewed as a leisure destination, Jaipur has emerged as MICE and wedding market too. Thus the kind of ARR Jaipur is commanding at the moment is INR 9,000. Fairmont Jaipur’s ARR is INR 11,000.”
With the excellent connectivity between Delhi and Jaipur, the hotel is betting big on the weekend getaway travellers as well. “Jaipur, being a part of the world famous Golden Triangle, is a huge benefit for us. Most of the international tourists visiting India usually visit the Golden Triangle. To add to the connectivity, with the conversion of 90 per cent of the NH-8 into an eight-lane highway, the travel time from Gurgaon to Jaipur is now down to three hours. Also NH 11 is yet another important tourism highway for Jaipur that connects Agra,” the GM points out.
