The Fairmont Jaipur is getting ready to open its doors officially on February 15, 2012, though it is expected to soft open in the early days of the same month. The hotel has plans to open with 200 rooms and will add villas in the later part of the year. It might also open more rooms in 2013 based on the results during the initial half of the year.
The base rate for the hotel rooms are being placed at INR 38,000 per night, but as per the city average, the average rate of the hotel expects to command is INR 24,000 per night. The hotel aims to attain the leading RevPAR in Jaipur in the next 2-3 years.
The hotel will position itself as a luxury property and would focus to sell rooms through DMCs, aggressive electronic marketing and selling. Travel agents and tour operators would have the opportunity to sell the hotel based on the hotel's plan to launch some packages especially focussing on wedding and MICE by and large. It expects to attract a lot of international leisure traffic looking for short holidays.
