Naila Fort: Oberoi Group opens its first luxury residence near Jaipur

NEW DELHI: Hospitality major Oberoi Group is fast expanding its footprint. It has opened its first luxury residence — Naila Fort - An Oberoi Luxury Residence — near Jaipur. Originally built in 1849 by the Champawat clan, Naila Fort has been conserved and restored. It has been reimagined as an ultra‑luxury four-bedroom residence and will be ready to welcome the first guests from Feb 15, 2026.

This is part of Oberoi parent EIH Ltd’s robust expansion plan, with a development pipeline of 29 upcoming hotels and luxury cruisers scheduled to open by 2030. These projects across India and select international destinations will add approximately 2,251 keys to the portfolio. A significant proportion of these developments will be operated under management contracts, underscoring the strategic importance of this model in the company’s long-term growth roadmap.

Announcing the opening of Naila Fort to guests, Oberoi Group executive chairman Arjun Oberoi said: “Restoring Naila Fort has been an act of both responsibility and reverence. It stands as a reminder that heritage, when cared for with integrity, can continue to inspire and enrich contemporary life. Through this residence, we offer our guests an experience shaped by authenticity, privacy and enduring craftsmanship - values that have guided our family and our company for generations.”

The Oberoi Group CEO Vikram Oberoi said: “Naila Fort represents a thoughtful evolution of how we extend Oberoi hospitality. It allows us to offer something deeply personal - the space, discretion and freedom of a private home, combined with the service philosophy and exacting standards that define our hotels worldwide.”
