Aurette Hotels and Resorts Pvt Ltd has signed a franchise agreement with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts to develop a 304-room luxury resort in Nathdwara, Rajasthan, under the Registry Collection Hotels brand, with opening scheduled for the third quarter of 2030, Franchise TV (Indian Retailer) reported on 3 November 2026.
The property, to be named Aurette Hotels and Resorts Nathdwara, will mix premium rooms with villas and one-, two- and three-bedroom units. Planned facilities include banquet halls, an all-day dining restaurant, a specialty restaurant, a bar and extensive outdoor space. The mix is aimed at leisure travellers, families and extended stays, as well as destination weddings, social celebrations and corporate events.
The project is promoted by Rakesh Yadav and Veena Yadav through Aurette Hotels and Resorts Pvt Ltd. The Jaipur-based promoters have business interests in real estate and healthcare and experience in land development and project execution; Nathdwara marks the company’s entry into hospitality.
Nathdwara is an established pilgrimage destination best known for the Shrinathji Temple, and sits close to Udaipur and southern Rajasthan’s heritage circuit. The developers cite that mix of religious tourism, leisure travel and event demand as the case for a large resort.
matching the right brand to the right destination
That is how Rahool Macarius, Market Managing Director, Eurasia at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, described the company’s approach in India. He said Registry Collection Hotels lets the property keep its individual character while drawing on Wyndham’s global distribution, marketing and the Wyndham Rewards programme, which has about 129 million enrolled members worldwide.
The signing is another example of a first-time hotel developer using a franchise agreement with a global brand to enter hospitality, a pattern also visible in Wyndham’s push across Ayodhya, Vrindavan and Kochi and in the Sugee and Wyndham Vienna House agreement in Ras Al Khaimah. The Q3 2030 opening date shows how long the development pipeline for a resort of this size runs, which matters for investors comparing conversion deals with ground-up builds, as outlined in the hotel franchising outlook for Asia Pacific and MENA. Tier-2 pilgrimage and heritage towns are now drawing branded supply that used to concentrate in the metros.
