ITC Hotels Limited continues to expand its experiential boutique portfolio with the opening of Storii Jawai, Rajasthan. Renowned globally for its leopard sightings, striking granite hills, and the Jawai River, the region is home to a rich ecosystem that includes diverse wildlife and migratory birds, making it a distinctive destination for nature-led travel.
Commenting on the opening, Anil Chadha, Managing Director, ITC Hotels Limited said, “We are delighted to open the 11th Storii in Jawai. An intimate 15 key boutique retreat that distils the essence of quiet comforts in the wild, Jawai stands as a testament to the harmonious coexistence of modern innovation and timeless tradition. Storii Jawai is our tribute to the beauty and resilience of this region”.
Bharat Kumar Singh, Promoter 1st Gate Luxe Pvt. Ltd., added “As people from the soil, Storii Jawai reflects our belief in Rajasthani culture and traditions. It has been a humbling experience for us to be able to build a space for fellow travellers to come and immerse in our hinterland. We are grateful to associate with ITC Hotels Limited who reflect our values and vision, and have been with us shoulder to shoulder to make it happen”
The Storii Jawai experience begins with an evocative arrival through a tented reception, leading into a colonial-era bungalow that forms the heart of the property. Designed as a refined lounge and bar with understated modern elements, it features two expansive suites perched above, offering sweeping views of the rugged landscape. The property’s safari-inspired accommodations, complemented by a curated selection of regional delicacies, create an immersive and authentic stay experience.
Dispersed within a preserved grove, the villas are gently set into the landscape, ensuring that the existing greens remain untouched. Private courtyards, secluded plunge pools, and tented villas reinterpret the romance of safari living with a contemporary, crafted sensibility. At the highest point, an infinity pool crowns a rocky hillock, opening out to sweeping views of a pal and a natural lake carefully retained as part of the site’s ecology. Wildlife explorations, alongside spaces for wellness and pause, offers a rare equilibrium—where the starkness of Jawai’s terrain is softened by intimacy, stillness, and bounty of its natural splendour.
Jawai warmly welcomes visitors from around the world while steadfastly safeguarding its ancestral Rabari tribe heritage. Storii Jawai showcases this rich cultural legacy intertwined with wildlife where stone hills rise starkly against the sky and leopards move silently through the terrain.
