India’s first Raffles property to open in Udaipur next month
India’s first Raffles property will welcome guests within the next month. Raffles Udaipur has been in the works for a few years and was to open in 2020 until the pandemic laid low the plans. The iconic brand, which debuted in Singapore in the early 1830s, has only 15 luxurious iterations across the globe. Raffles Udaipur sprawls over 30 acres and nestles amidst beautiful gardens. It looks like an English countryside manor and is designed by British architect Clive Gray of Bangkok-based firm Randolph Gray Design, who also designed Fairmont Jaipur. It features 101 lake-facing rooms and suites with private pools. The resort also features Raffles’ signature spaces such as a 1,100 square meter Raffles Spa, Long Bar and Writers Bar, besides a farm-to-table restaurant, a stunning ballroom, and well-appointed banquet room.
