The Regalia Story

Over 55 years of excellence, warmth, and a deep passion for hospitality.

Regalia Grand Mumbai — Flagship Hotel Regalia Grand Ballroom
1968Est. Year

Born in Mumbai.
Loved Across the World.

In 1968, Mr. Rajan Khanna — a visionary entrepreneur from Mumbai — opened the doors of a small but exquisitely run hotel in Nariman Point. He had one simple belief: every guest should feel like royalty.

What began as a single boutique hotel grew — decade by decade — into one of India's most trusted and respected luxury hospitality groups. Under the stewardship of the Khanna family's second and third generations, Regalia Hotels & Resorts today operates six premium properties, employs over 8,500 hospitality professionals, and serves more than 1.8 lakh guests every year.

Each Regalia property is designed to reflect the unique character and culture of its location — while maintaining the group's unwavering standards of luxury, personalised service, and heartfelt Indian hospitality. From heritage palaces in Rajasthan to ultramodern towers in Dubai, every Regalia experience is uniquely, unmistakably us.
