Check in, step up as Westin Jaipur gets a new boss

MUMBAI: Just as Marriott clocks a landmark stay in India, a new leader checks in at Jaipur’s luxury address. The Westin Jaipur Kant Kalwar Resort & Spa has appointed Kamaljit Singh as its General Manager, aligning the leadership change with Marriott International opening its 200th property in the country.

An alumnus of S.C.H.M. Mangalore, Singh brings with him a career shaped across global luxury brands, spanning high-energy city hotels and complex resort destinations. Known for a people-first leadership style, he has built a reputation for tightening operations, lifting revenues and blending international standards with strong local character earning multiple industry recognitions along the way.

At Westin Jaipur Kant Kalwar, Singh will steer the resort’s strategic direction with a clear focus on wellbeing and intuitive service, core to the Westin brand promise. The aim: position the property as a leading luxury and wellness destination in Rajasthan, offering what the team calls a distinct “Westin lens” on Jaipur.

That lens brings together heritage and balance whether through restorative experiences at the Heavenly Spa, curated encounters with the Aravali landscape, or regional flavours at Ira, the resort’s Indian specialty restaurant. The resort’s recreational spread, from jogging and cycling tracks to cricket turf and multi-sport courts, underlines a push to make wellness active rather than ornamental.

“It’s an honour to lead the resort at such a historic moment,” Singh said, pointing to the property’s broad mix of fitness, leisure and family-friendly offerings, including a dedicated Kids Club. “The idea is to ensure every guest leaves feeling clearer, lighter and recharged.”

With Singh at the helm, Westin Jaipur Kant Kalwar enters its next phase at a moment when Marriott’s India story hits a significant number 200 and counting adding both scale and fresh leadership to the group’s regional ambitions.
