In a significant expansion move, IHG® Hotels & Resorts is set to establish a Holiday Inn in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, by 2025. This project is part of the company’s broader plan to launch 50 new hotels across India in the upcoming years.
Strategic Location for Growing Demand
The Holiday Inn Prayagraj will be strategically situated in the heart of Prayagraj, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, renowned for its spiritual and commercial significance. The hotel is expected to cater to the growing demand for world-class hospitality experiences in the city, particularly during major festivals like the Prayag Kumbh Mela and Megha Mela, which attract millions of visitors annually.
A Legacy of Comfort and Convenience
The Holiday Inn brand holds a strong reputation in both family and business travel, with over seven decades of providing dependable and high-quality hospitality experiences. The upcoming Holiday Inn Prayagraj will uphold this legacy with 95 well-appointed guest rooms, a day-long restaurant, versatile meeting spaces, and a fully equipped fitness center.
IHG’s Commitment to India
This signing aligns with IHG’s strategy to expand its portfolio in key secondary markets in India. IHG currently operates 45 hotels across five distinct brands in the country, with an impressive pipeline of 50 additional hotels scheduled to open within the next three to five years.
