In a landmark development for North India’s luxury hospitality landscape, the iconic Noormahal Palace in Karnal, Haryana, has officially been inducted into the elite Autograph Collection Hotels portfolio by Marriott Bonvoy.

This milestone positions Noormahal Palace as one of the first heritage properties in India to be recognized under Marriott’s globally acclaimed Autograph Collection—known for its curated selection of distinctive, independent hotels that offer unique narratives and immersive experiences.

Blending regal Mughal and Rajputana architecture with contemporary luxury, Noormahal Palace has long been a preferred destination for weddings, leisure travelers, and MICE events. With this affiliation, the property is set to gain enhanced global visibility, access to Marriott’s expansive distribution network, and integration into the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty ecosystem.

For the MICE industry, this development is particularly significant. Karnal’s strategic location between Delhi and Chandigarh, combined with Noormahal’s grand event spaces, makes it an increasingly attractive destination for conferences, corporate retreats, and destination weddings. The Autograph Collection branding is expected to further elevate its positioning among international planners and high-end corporate clients.

Industry experts believe this move will not only boost Haryana’s hospitality profile but also encourage similar heritage properties across India to align with global brands while retaining their individuality.

As India continues to emerge as a strong contender in the global MICE landscape, the inclusion of Noormahal Palace in Marriott’s Autograph Collection marks a step forward in offering experiential luxury backed by international standards.

Noormahal is the 235th Autograph Selection and the 34th in Asia,
