In a world that embraces the new at the cost of the old, the team at WelcomHeritage invites you to step into a realm where time slows down and the soul is nurtured. As guardians of India’s rich cultural legacy, WelcomHeritage offers travellers a chance to immerse themselves in the country’s timeless tradition, while indulging in modern comforts that make the experience wholesome.
From its humble beginnings in 1997 with just five properties, WelcomHeritage has blossomed into a collection of 35 unique hotels and resorts, boasting over 1,000 keys across India. This remarkable growth is a testament to the brand’s unwavering commitment to preserving the essence of India’s diverse history and landscapes, while seamlessly integrating the luxuries and conveniences that today’s discerning travellers seek.
Weaving the Threads of India’s Tapestry
Every WelcomHeritage property is a living, breathing chapter in the grand story of India. From the regal grandeur of a historic fort to the elegant charm of a palace to the serene tranquillity of a nature retreat, each destination offers a unique window into the country’s vibrant cultural heritage.
Take, for instance, the iconic WelcomHeritage Bal Samand Lake Palace in Jodhpur, where the magnificence of a bygone era mingles with the comforts of modern hospitality. Or venture to the WelcomHeritage Mandir Palace in Jaisalmer, where the golden hues of the Thar Desert provide the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable journey through time.
For those seeking a more intimate encounter with India’s natural wonders, the WelcomHeritage Cheetahgarh Resort & Spa in Jawai beckons, offering guests the chance to witness the majestic leopard in its own habitat. In the serene Kashmir region, the WelcomHeritage Gurkha Houseboats in Srinagar promises a truly unique experience, where houseboat living blends seamlessly with the breathtaking beauty of the surroundings.
Expanding Horizons, Enriching Experiences
As WelcomHeritage’s footprint has grown, the brand has remained steadfast in its commitment to curating experiences that capture the essence of each destination. In the last financial year, the addition of three exceptional properties – WelcomHeritage Ayatana in Ooty, WelcomHeritage Grand in Srinagar, and WelcomHeritage Santa Roza in Kasauli – has further consolidated the brand’s expanding footprint in the Indian hospitality market.
The WelcomHeritage Ayatana, nestled amidst the lush Nilgiri hills, offers a tranquil retreat that invites guests to slow down and savour the beauty of their surroundings.
The stunning WelcomHeritage Grand in Srinagar, meanwhile, is a testament to the brand’s dedication to preserving the vibrant spirit of Kashmir, while providing all the modern comforts one could desire.
Adding to this impressive portfolio, the WelcomHeritage Santa Roza in Kasauli provides yet another idyllic escape, where the stresses of everyday life melt away, and guests can immerse themselves in the rich cultural tapestry of the region.
Embracing Sustainability, Empowering Communities
At the core of WelcomHeritage’s mission lies a deep commitment to sustainability and community empowerment. Across its properties, the brand has implemented a range of eco-friendly practices, from utilizing sustainable materials and energy-efficient lighting to harnessing renewable energy sources and installing electric vehicle charging stations.
Properties like the WelcomHeritage Jungle Home in Pench, the WelcomHeritage Cheetahgarh Resort & Spa, and the WelcomHeritage Tadoba Vanya Villas Resort & Spa have earned prestigious TOFT certifications, reflecting their dedication to responsible tourism and the preservation of the natural environment.
But WelcomHeritage’s commitment extends far beyond certifications. The brand actively works to conserve water, optimise energy consumption, and manage waste responsibly, all while collaborating with local artisans and sourcing materials from the surrounding communities.
