Scheduled to open in early 2030, the 225-key luxury resort marks another milestone in the company’s strategic expansion across India’s high-growth leisure destinations.
Featuring 36 villas alongside 189 guest rooms, the property is designed to deliver an immersive resort experience and elevated luxury offering. Set across a 16-acre land parcel along the Delhi–Jaipur Road in Achrol, InterContinental Resort Jaipur Achrol will mark the fourth IHG-branded hotel within the larger Jaipur city limits and the second InterContinental hotel in the market.
InterContinental Hotels & Resorts is the world’s first and largest international luxury hotel brand, synonymous with bold exploration, cultural discovery and worldly sophistication. With over 240 hotels open globally and 104 in the pipeline, the brand continues to expand into key destinations around the world.
Commenting on the announcement, Sudeep Jain, Managing Director, South West Asia, IHG Hotels & Resorts said, “We are delighted to partner with Makson India Hospitality Pvt. Ltd. to launch InterContinental Resort Jaipur Achrol. India continues to present significant opportunities in the luxury hospitality segment, driven by growing demand for leisure experiences and destination-led celebrations.

He further added, “Achrol is emerging as a compelling destination in close proximity to Jaipur, offering a unique combination of heritage, nature, and accessibility. With InterContinental Resort Jaipur Achrol, we aim to create a landmark destination that caters to leisure travellers as well as large-scale social celebrations.”
Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan and a key part of India’s Golden Triangle tourist circuit, continues to witness strong tourism growth driven by its rich cultural heritage and architectural landmarks including Amer Fort, Jantar Mantar, and the Walled City. The city is also a leading destination for high-profile weddings and events, where demand for upscale venues continues to outpace.
Rajan Jhiriwal, Director, Makson India Hospitality Pvt Ltd, said: “We are delighted to partner with IHG Hotels & Resorts to introduce the iconic InterContinental brand to Achrol, Rajasthan. This association represents an important milestone in our group’s long-term vision of creating landmark hospitality assets that meet the highest international standards while remaining deeply rooted in the character, culture, and heritage of their destination.”
Robin Jhiriwal, Director, Makson India Hospitality Pvt Ltd, added: “Our vision is to develop hospitality destinations that deliver enduring value to guests, the community, and all stakeholders. With InterContinental Resort Jaipur Achrol, we aim to create a resort that elevates the region’s luxury hospitality landscape while showcasing Rajasthan’s timeless appeal through thoughtful design, authentic experiences, and world-class service.”
InterContinental Resort Jaipur Achrol will feature four dining options including an all-day dining restaurant, a specialty restaurant, a lobby lounge, and a pool bar. The resort will also offer extensive event spaces across two venues, including a ballroom, making it an ideal destination for weddings and social gatherings. Additional facilities will include a club lounge, spa, fitness centre, swimming pool, retail outlets, and ample parking.
With this signing, IHG continues to accelerate its growth in India, particularly in the luxury and lifestyle segment, while strengthening its presence across key leisure destinations in the country.
