The Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) has announced the addition of the Palitana Palace in Palitana, Gujarat to its Taj brand portfolio. Puneet Chhatwal, CEO of IHCL, states that the move is a testament to Taj’s ongoing commitment to redefining luxury and preserving India’s rich heritage.
This partnership with His Highness Thakore Saheb Mandhatasinhji Jadeja of Rajkot is set to bring the historical charm of the Palitana Palace under the Taj brand. Chhatwal believes this addition will also enhance the appeal of Palitana, a revered spiritual destination in Gujarat, and create potential for growth in the region’s social and wedding events segment.
