IHCL steps into Nainital with SeleQtion Resort
Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), South Asia's largest hospitality company, has announced the conversion of The Naini Retreat, a previously operating heritage resort in Nainital, Uttarakhand, into an IHCL SeleQtions resort. Leisure Hotels Group will operate this resort under a franchise agreement with IHCL.
“IHCL is stepping into another location in the majestic Himalayas. With this new resort, the company will present yet another unique holiday destination to its customers, in addition to its hotels at five other locations in Uttarakhand – Corbett, Dehradun, Haridwar, Rishikesh and Pantnagar. We are delighted to partner with Leisure Hotels Group,” shared Suma Venkatesh, Executive Vice President – Real Estate & Development, IHCL.
The 52-key resort is located on the picturesque Ayarpatta slopes, offering breathtaking views of the scenic Naini Lake and the Himalayan mountains nestled in nature's lap. The resort, spread across more than five acres of lush gardens and forest canopy, will feature an all-day diner, bar, recreational facilities such as a Jiva Spa and Fitness Centre, meeting rooms, and a banquet hall for social and business gatherings. Before it is launched under the SeleQtions brand, the resort will be completely renovated and upgraded.
“We are humbled and honoured to partner with IHCL once again. This will be our third hotel with the company in the state. We believe that this association will enhance the tourism potential of the entire region in India and abroad,” said Vibhas Prasad, Director, Leisure Hotels Group.
