Situated 1.4km from the Taj Mahal, the new hotel establishes the brand on the Delhi-Agra-Jaipur Golden Triangle route.

Sterling Holiday Resorts managing director and CEO Vikram Lalvani said: “Agra does not have a demand problem; it has a depth opportunity. The Taj brings the world to Agra. The opportunity for hospitality is to give travellers compelling reasons to stay longer, explore deeper and experience the city beyond its defining icon.

“Our Destination Architect strategy recognises that every destination needs a different intervention.

“In emerging destinations, we help create discovery; in established destinations like Agra, we build deeper engaging moments that connect them into larger travel circuits.”

The property comprises 36 rooms alongside meeting areas and leisure facilities.

Amenities include a fourth-floor swimming pool facing the Taj Mahal and a top-floor deck arranged for private gatherings.

Dining is housed on the lobby level at Regalia Spices, a 40-seat venue offering buffet and à la carte service.

Sterling Holiday Resorts operates as a wholly independent subsidiary of Thomas Cook (India) (TCIL) and is part of Fairfax Financial Holdings.

Taj Regalia owners Brijesh Yadav and Rekha Yadav said: “Our vision was to create an address that does justice to its location—close to one of the world’s most celebrated monuments, yet with a character and experience of its own. Sterling brings strong hospitality expertise, reach and a destination-led approach.”
