IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed an agreement with Circle View Estate Private Ltd to develop voco Udaipur, a new premium hotel scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2029.
The 140-room property will mark another milestone in the expansion of IHG’s fastest-growing premium brand in India and strengthen the group’s presence in Rajasthan, one of the country’s most important tourism markets.
Located on the foothills of the Aravalli Hills and overlooking the city, voco Udaipur will offer guests panoramic views while placing them close to one of India’s most celebrated cultural and leisure destinations.
Known as the “City of Lakes,” Udaipur attracts millions of domestic and international visitors each year thanks to its historic palaces, scenic landscapes and vibrant cultural heritage. The city has also become one of India’s leading destinations for weddings, conferences and events, creating growing demand for internationally branded accommodation.
IHG Continues India Expansion
IHG sees India as one of its key growth markets globally and continues to expand its presence across both business and leisure destinations.
“India is a strategically important market for IHG globally, and we continue to strengthen our portfolio in destinations where we see long-term demand and strong owner interest,” said Sudeep Jain, Managing Director, South West Asia, IHG Hotels & Resorts.
He noted that Udaipur’s strong leisure appeal, combined with its growing importance for weddings and events, makes it a compelling location for premium hospitality development.
Jain added that voco’s blend of distinctive personality, premium experiences and global brand support continues to resonate with both guests and hotel owners.
A Premium Hospitality Experience
Designed around the brand’s core concepts of “Come on in,” “Me time” and “voco life,” the hotel will combine the individuality of a boutique property with the consistency and reassurance of a global hospitality brand.
The development will feature 140 guestrooms and suites, two food and beverage venues including an all-day dining restaurant and bar, as well as extensive meeting and event facilities.
Additional amenities will include a swimming pool, spa and fitness centre, catering to both leisure and business travellers.
Partnership With Circle View Estate
Circle View Estate Private Ltd believes voco’s distinctive identity and IHG’s international platform make it a strong fit for Udaipur’s evolving hospitality market.
“We are pleased to partner with IHG Hotels & Resorts to introduce voco to Udaipur,” said Nakul Karnawat, Director of Circle View Estate Private Ltd.
He added that the combination of voco’s unique character and IHG’s global expertise is expected to position the hotel as a preferred choice for travellers seeking a premium stay experience in the city.
Growing Presence In Rajasthan
The signing highlights IHG’s strategy of expanding its premium portfolio in high-growth destinations across India. By bringing voco to Udaipur, the company aims to capture rising demand from leisure travellers, destination weddings, corporate events and international visitors exploring Rajasthan.
When it opens in 2029, voco Udaipur is expected to add a new premium hospitality option to one of India’s most dynamic tourism markets while reinforcing IHG’s long-term growth ambitions in the country.
