The Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) is strengthening its SeleQtions brand with a heritage hotel in Mandawa, Rajasthan, India, enhancing its portfolio with a focus on cultural tourism.

The 17-room IHCL SeleQtions Mandawa will be expanded to 35 keys. Comprising a conversion project, a venture will transform a historical haveli while preserving its original charm.

The collaboration for this project is with Inderpura Group founder Vijender Singh Shekhawat, and Inderpura Hotels & Resorts partner Pushpender Singh Shekhawat.

IHCL real estate and development executive vice-president Suma Venkatesh said: “The growing interest in immersive travel experiences has fuelled demand for heritage stays and cultural tourism.

“Mandawa, with its rich architectural legacy, serves as a convenient extension for travellers exploring the Delhi-Jaipur-Agra circuit. This signing underscores IHCL’s commitment to meeting diverse traveller preferences and tapping into emerging micro-markets.”

Located in Rajasthan’s Shekhawati region, Mandawa is known for its painted havelis and European-inspired frescoes, making it an attraction for global tourists.

Developed in the 1870s, the haveli showcases Mandawa’s historical narrative through its mural paintings that feature religious icons, floral and geometrical motifs, and vignettes of life from the 1890s.

The hotel will offer a range of amenities, including an all-day diner, bar, and rooftop restaurant, alongside recreational facilities such as a swimming pool, hammam, spa, and gym.

Vijender Singh Shekhawat and Pushpender Singh Shekhawat said: “We are excited to collaborate with IHCL, a brand that brings their expertise in the leisure sector and a deep commitment to preserving and restoring heritage properties.”

IHCL’s presence in Rajasthan will include 28 hotels with this addition while six more are under development.

Earlier this month, IHCL signed a new Taj resort in Chail, Himachal Pradesh, further expanding its luxury hospitality presence in the region.
