The new Fairmont Hotel & Resort in Agra is scheduled to debut in 2025. The Fairmont Agra will have 205 opulent rooms, including 44 suites, a flagship restaurant, a speciality restaurant, a coffee shop, a bar, a swimming pool, a fitness centre and a spa.
For this, the hotel chain has teamed up with Shekhar Resorts Limited. “We are thrilled to collaborate with Fairmont, a renowned luxury brand that is a member of the Accor Group. We discovered Fairmont and Accor to be the most capable partners to manage the future Fairmont Agra given their competence in managing premium hospitality properties and familiarity with the markets they serve, according to Anuj Jain, Director of Shekhar Resorts Limited, Agra.
“We believe that the hotel will be distinctive and raise the bar for luxury travel in Agra and northern India. We are excited to begin working with Fairmont and Accor and give our guests the most unique and memorable experiences possible, he says.
Two miles from the Taj Mahal and a two-hour journey from Delhi, the Fairmont Agra provides guests with convenient access to this world-famous architectural wonder nestled on the banks of the Yamuna River.
“This is a fantastic addition to our collection of brands. The area is one of the most gorgeous places on earth, and I have no doubt that its strategic position, stunning architecture, and amazing vistas will elevate it to the status of one of our most iconic properties. According to Mark Willis, CEO of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, “Fairmont Agra is set to offer an unforgettable experience to its guests with the brand’s exceptional standards.”
Fairmont is one of Accor’s leading luxury brands globally, with more than a century of history, and landmark hotels positioned in extraordinary destinations worldwide like The Plaza in New York City, The Savoy in London, Fairmont Peace Hotel in Shanghai and Fairmont Royal Palm in Marrakech. In India, Fairmont already operates the majestic Fairmont Jaipur and will open additional hotels in Udaipur, Mumbai and Shimla Fagu over the next two years.
“Fairmont is gathering pace with the building of four fascinating new properties in India. Along with Jaipur and Udaipur, it completes the northern Golden Triangle of India, according to Willis.
