Lucknow In a significant move aimed at boosting tourism in Uttar Pradesh, the historic Kothi Roshan-ud-Daula in Lucknow will soon be managed by the MRS Group, which is renowned for its portfolio of luxury heritage properties. The state government has also approved the leasing of Barsana Jal Mahal in Mathura and Shukla Talab in Kanpur Dehat to the Redwood Group of Hotels. The decision was confirmed by Mukesh Meshram, principal secretary, tourism, Uttar Pradesh.
The MRS Group, which currently manages iconic properties such as Suryagarh in Jaisalmer (the venue of the high-profile wedding of Bollywood stars Kiara Advani and Siddharth Malhotra), Narendra Bhawan in Bikaner and Mary Budden Estate in Binsar, has been chosen to oversee Kothi Roshan-ud-Daula. Kothi Roshan-ud-Daula is known for its exquisite architecture and historical significance. The property’s stunning interiors and grand halls are poised to be revitalized under the MRS Group’s management.
“Each property of Uttar Pradesh showcases India’s rich, diverse and extraordinary heritage. Kothi Roshan-ud-Daula, with its beautiful interiors and magnificently designed halls, will now be managed by the MRS Group. The partnership allows the group to leverage its marketing capabilities to attract both national and international audiences,” Meshram stated.
This move is part of a broader initiative by the Uttar Pradesh government to enhance tourism by converting heritage properties into luxury hotels, following the succes.
