The Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) has announced the signing of a SeleQtions hotel in Mandawa, Rajasthan. The Haveli has been restored as part of a conversion project to preserve its historical charm.

Commenting on the signing, Suma Venkatesh, Executive Vice President – Real Estate & Development, IHCL, said, “The growing interest in immersive travel experiences has fueled demand for heritage stays and cultural tourism.

Visitors can enjoy a range of dining options in the all-day dining area, bar, or rooftop restaurant. For leisure, amenities include a swimming pool, hammam, spa, and gym.
