The Indian Hotels Company announced the signing of Palitana under the Taj Brand in Palitana, Gujarat.

Puneet Chhatwal said, “Taj redefined luxury for more than 121 years, and its recognition as the World’s Strongest Hotel Brand, and India’s Strongest Brand, is testament to that.”

We are proud to partner with His highness Thakore Saheb Jadeja of Rajkot in bringing the Palitana Palace to the Taj brand. This addition strengthens Taj’s commitment to preserving India’s rich heritage, and expanding its portfolio of Palaces and Forts.

“Palitana is a spiritual tourism destination that has enormous potential. This also gives us the opportunity to grow the social and marriages segment in the area,” he added.

After extensive renovation, the 65-key Taj Palitana hotel will feature luxurious rooms, suites, and a perfect blend between historical charm and contemporary luxury.

His Highness Thakore S. Mandhatasinhji, representing Trident Developers Pvt. Ltd. and the Jadeja Royal Family in Rajkot, expressed his thoughts about the collaboration. It’s with immense pride that IHCL’s Taj partners with us to transform the Palitana palace into a window back to a bygone era. This collaboration is a major step in preserving Palitana’s heritage and increasing the city’s appeal to international travellers.

Palitana, in Gujarat’s district of Bhavnagar, is a spiritual and cultural destination. Its rich history and architectural wonders make it an absolute must-visit. IHCL now has 29 hotels in Gujarat, including 10 that are under construction.
