HRH Group of Hotels, or Historic Resort Hotels Pvt. Ltd., is a chain of heritage hotels with its head office in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India.
History
[edit]In 1959, Bhagwat Singh Mewar decided to convert Jag Niwas Palace into Udaipur's first luxury hotel, hoping it would attract tourists to Udaipur.[1] He opened its gates in 1961.[2] His son, Arvind Singh Mewar, established the HRH Group of Hotels in 1986, some fifteen years after the Government of India abolished privy purses and princely privileges.[2][3] A total of five palaces in and around Udaipur were converted into hotels to form the group.[3]
Arvind Singh Mewar is the chairman and managing director of it, and Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar is the executive director of it.[4][5] It is the only chain of heritage hotels and resorts under private ownership.[6]

[edit]The group currently manages 10 hotels and resorts with approximately 600 rooms across Rajasthan.[7] Some of the properties they manage are:
- Shiv Niwas Palace, Udaipur
- Gajner Palace, Bikaner
- Jagmandir Island Palace, Udaipur
- Shikarbadi Hotel, Udaipur
