Accor has signed a deal with Shekhar Resorts to open the first Fairmont hotel in Agra, home of the Taj Mahal – one of the seven wonders of the world and an UNESCO World Heritage Site in India.

Set to open by 2025, the Fairmont Agra will be located on a bank of the Yamuna River in the city of Agra in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh. The hotel, which will have 205 rooms and suites, will be approximately a two-hour drive from New Delhi and around two kilometres from the Taj Mahal.

Facilities will include a signature restaurant, specialty restaurant, coffee shop, bar, swimming pool, fitness center and a spa.

In India, Fairmont already operates the majestic Fairmont Jaipur and will open additional hotels in Udaipur, Mumbai and Shimla Fagu over the next two years.
