With over a decade of rich experience in luxury hospitality management across India and international markets, Harsh brings operational expertise, strategic vision, and a deep commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences.

Before joining Fairmont Udaipur Palace, Harsh served as Hotel Manager at The Pierre, A Taj Hotel, New York, a landmark property in Manhattan.

At The Pierre, he successfully led hotel operations while upholding the hotel’s global reputation for refined service and luxury. His leadership emphasized guest satisfaction, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to build strong, high-performing teams in one of the most competitive hospitality markets in the world.

As part of the pre-opening leadership team, Harsh has already contributed significantly to shaping the property’s operational framework and guest service philosophy. His approach combines tradition with modernity, ensuring that Fairmont Udaipur Palace remains a benchmark in luxury hospitality in India.

With his expertise and passion for hospitality, Harsh Champawat is set to further enhance the resort’s reputation as one of the leading luxury hotels in Rajasthan and a preferred destination for discerning travelers, weddings, and events.
