The genesis of the HRH Group of Hotels is a tribute to the vision of Bhagwat Singh Mewar, the 75th Maharana of Udaipur.

In post-Independent India of the 1950s, Maharana Bhagwat Singh was the first Indian royal to have realised the potential of tourism to preserve the rich heritage of Rajasthan and Udaipur. He took a pioneering decision to convert the Jag Niwas into the super deluxe Lake Palace Hotel.

The grand opening of the Lake Palace Hotel in 1963 marked a new era in heritage tourism in India. It was hailed all over the world as probably the finest luxury resort, distinguished by uniquely Indian hospitality and service standards.

The 1980's witnessed a period of further growth and consolidation. The HRH Group of Hotels assumed its present corporate form under the chairmanship of Shri Arvind Singh Mewar, the 76th Maharana of Udaipur, and a professional hotelier. The HRH Group of Hotels is today one of the finest chains of heritage hotels across Rajasthan, with each unique heritage property being meticulously preserved, restored and developed.
