Planned and built by Rani Ahilyabai, the brave Holkar queen,
Indore lies to the extreme west of Madhya Pradesh on the banks of the
rivers Saraswati and Khan which unite at the centre of the city. The
bustling and vibrant city, 186 km from Bhopal, derives its name from the
18th century Indreshwar temple.
The history of Indore is inseparable from the history of the Holkar
State. The founder of the House of Holkars was Malhar Rao Holkar, born
in 1693 AD. His soldierly qualities brought him to the forefront under
the Peshwa and he was rewarded with the gift of territories comprising
the Indore region. Malhar Rao was succeeded by his grandson, on whose
death, without issue, his mother, Maharani Devi Ahilya Bai ascended the
throne.
Ideally located in the city centre on Treasure Island Mall in Indore,
Sarovar Portico is a tranquil retreat amid the hustle and bustle of
Indore’s popular commercial and social location. The hotel features 97
contemporary guest rooms and suites. The hotel boasts of an elegant
décor perfectly complimenting the warm hospitality awaiting guests at
the hotel.
Sarovar Portico will feature multi cuisine restaurant Rouge and a bar
called Liquid. Other amenities in the hotel include a well equipped
business centre, conferencing and banquet facilities, a rooftop function
area and a swimming pool.
