A Five-Decade Legacy of Royal Indian Hospitality
Founded in 1973 with the opening of India’s first 5-star hotel in Rajasthan, Clarks Hotels & Resorts has cultivated a timeless portfolio of sanctuaries defined by architectural restraint, cultural authenticity, and serene luxury.
Pioneering Heritage Hospitality Across Historic Destinations
The story of Clarks begins in Jaipur in 1973. At a time when modern luxury was taking root in urban metropolises, Clarks envisioned a different path, one rooted in authentic royal heritage, palatial architecture, and deep cultural immersion.
Over the past five decades, our portfolio has carefully grown to encompass five exceptional sanctuaries: overlooking the Taj Mahal in Agra, adjacent to the UNESCO temple monuments of Khajuraho, along the historic Gomti riverfront in Lucknow, and amongst the quiet Aravalli hills of Udaipur.
Each property stands as a guardian of regional art, architecture, and gastronomy, offering global travelers a serene refuge where history lives in every carved stone.
