Naila Fort opens as The Oberoi Group’s first luxury private residence in Rajasthan

The Oberoi Group enters the luxury heritage residence segment

The Oberoi Group has announced the opening of Naila Fort – An Oberoi Luxury Residence, marking its debut in the ultra-luxury private residence category. The heritage fort will welcome guests from 15 February 2026, expanding Oberoi’s portfolio beyond traditional hotels into highly exclusive, fully serviced private stays.

A carefully restored 19th-century heritage fort

Originally constructed in 1849 by the Champawat clan, Naila Fort has undergone a meticulous conservation and restoration process. The property has been reimagined as an ultra-luxury four-bedroom residence, preserving its original architectural character while integrating modern comforts and contemporary service standards.

Secluded hilltop location near Jaipur

Situated on a gentle hilltop amid open countryside near Jaipur, the fort offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and the Aravalli hills. Designed as a private heritage home, the residence is available only on an exclusive-use basis, ensuring complete privacy, discretion, and personalised service for guests.

Architecture and interiors rooted in heritage

The residence features sunlit courtyards, carved archways, elegant salons, and expansive terraces that reflect Rajasthan’s architectural legacy. Antique furnishings, curated artworks, and original design elements are complemented by understated modern amenities, creating a refined balance between heritage authenticity and contemporary luxury.

Personalised dining and curated experiences

Dining at Naila Fort is conceived as a bespoke experience. Menus are crafted daily by Oberoi chefs in consultation with guests, drawing inspiration from royal Rajasthani and Mughal cuisines, alongside refined international offerings. Meals may be enjoyed in multiple settings, including gardens, terraces, poolside spaces, or intimate indoor dining areas. Each stay is further shaped through personalised experiences, ranging from curated cultural excursions in Jaipur to private celebrations within the fort.

Leadership perspective on heritage and hospitality

Commenting on the opening, Arjun Oberoi, Executive Chairman, said the restoration reflects a commitment to preserving heritage with integrity while allowing it to remain relevant in contemporary hospitality.
Vikram Oberoi, Chief Executive Officer, added that the residence represents an evolution of Oberoi hospitality, combining the privacy of a private home with the brand’s globally recognised service philosophy and operational standards.

A strategic expansion of the Oberoi luxury portfolio

With Naila Fort, The Oberoi Group extends its presence into the private luxury residence space, responding to growing demand for discreet, experience-led, and highly personalised stays rooted in heritage and culture.
