The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts, an Indian luxury hotel chain founded in 1986 and headquartered in Mumbai, known for its “True Indian Luxury” brand blending modern sophistication with Indian hospitality, heritage and service announced the signing of a management agreement with The Godwin Group, an Indian hospitality company managing various properties across the country, unveiling the future opening of a new luxury resort and spa in Jaisalmer, an iconic city in the state of Rajasthan close to the Pakistan border and in close proximity to the Thar Desert.
Jaisalmer is a former medieval trading centre with a relevant historical significance, known as the “Golden City”, characterized by its yellow sandstone architecture, a centre acting as the guard to western Rajasthan and India’s frontier, highlighted by prominent landmarks as the Jaisalmer Fort, also called Sonar Qila (Golden Fort), a UNESCO World Heritage Site consisting in a sprawling hilltop citadel buttressed by 99 bastions and behind its massive walls stand the ornate Maharaja’s Palace and intricately carved Jain Temples.
This project is part of The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts’ strategy to expand its presence in Rajasthan, a region with high demand for leisure travel. The company aims to create connections with its existing properties in Udaipur and Jaipur, enancing its offerings in the state.
The resort is scheduled to open in 2026 and is located near Jaisalmer Fort, and is easily accessible from Jaisalmer Airport and Jodhpur.
The property will cover 30 acres and feature 80 comfortable rooms, dining venues, a spa, salon, swimming pool, a ballroom, kid’s club, a man – made lake, and outdoor spaces suitable for events.
The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts currently operates 13 properties across India, with plans to increase this number to 23 over the next three years. The expansion includes locations in Agra, Ayodhya, Bandhavgarh, Mumbai, Ranthambore, Sikkim, Srinagar, Dubai, UAE, and Jaisalmer.
