Oberoi Rajgarh Palace

Madhya Pradesh has welcomed a remarkable new chapter in luxury travel with the opening of The Oberoi Rajgarh Palace in Khajuraho. Inaugurated by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, the historic palace hotel strengthens the state’s position as a premier cultural and heritage destination in India, blending centuries-old grandeur with the refined hospitality for which The Oberoi Group is globally renowned.

Describing the new property as one that reflects the rich heritage of Madhya Pradesh while delivering world-class hospitality, the Chief Minister highlighted its importance in elevating tourism standards across the region.

A Restored Palace Set in Timeless Surroundings

Nestled against the Managad Hills, the 350-year-old Rajgarh Palace has been meticulously restored to honour its royal past while embracing contemporary elegance. Guests are welcomed into serene gardens, graceful courtyards and refined interiors that echo the architectural legacy of central India.

The palace setting creates a tranquil retreat, offering travellers an immersive stay that connects history, landscape and culture. Its location makes it an ideal base for exploring Khajuraho’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed temples, celebrated worldwide for their intricate carvings and artistic mastery.

Gateway to Culture, Wildlife and Heritage

The Oberoi Group has positioned Rajgarh Palace as more than a luxury hotel, presenting it as a gateway to the region’s artistic, natural and architectural treasures. From the spiritual legacy of Khajuraho to the wild beauty of the nearby Panna Tiger Reserve, the hotel is expected to attract a new generation of discerning travellers seeking meaningful experiences.

The opening is also set to support local employment and sustainable tourism development, contributing to long-term economic growth in Madhya Pradesh while preserving its cultural identity.
