Summit Hotels & Resorts has officially entered the luxury hotel segment with the launch of its flagship brand, The Summit, in Siliguri. Slated to open in May 2027, this landmark property marks a significant strategic expansion for the brand—previously known for its mountain-focused portfolio—into the high-end urban hospitality space.
Designed by Vivek Singh Rathore, Partner at Salient and Forbes India “Bold Club” honoree, the resort will blend contemporary global design with the cultural and natural heritage of Eastern India, positioning it as both an architectural icon and the brand’s corporate headquarters.
Setting a new standard for tier-2 hospitality, The Summit aims to position Siliguri as a premier destination for luxury weddings, large-scale corporate events, and upscale leisure travel. Moreover, the property will feature the largest banquet facilities in Eastern India, capable of accommodating up to 2,000 guests and hosting as many as 10 simultaneous events.
The resort will offer a comprehensive wedding ecosystem, including multiple indoor and outdoor venues, ample accommodation for large parties, and dedicated planning services—catering to the region’s growing ₹1 crore-plus wedding market, attracting families from Bihar and Bengal. For the MICE segment, cutting-edge conference technology will serve the expanding corporate presence in Siliguri, delivering premium meeting and event solutions that were previously unavailable in the city.
The lifestyle offerings at The Summit will set it apart from other hospitality options in the region. Guests can indulge in a diverse culinary experience, featuring regional Himalayan specialties, international cuisine, rooftop dining with city and mountain views, and poolside grills.
A dedicated wellness sanctuary will combine traditional Himalayan therapies with modern beauty treatments, while a comprehensive recreational complex will include pickleball and squash courts, a multi-sport ground, indoor gaming zones, and a fully equipped fitness center. Enhancing Siliguri’s nightlife, the resort will also feature the city’s first 40-foot-high nightclub and lounge, complete with panoramic views, international DJs, live entertainment, and premium mixology.
Aligned with Summit Hotels’ commitment to responsible tourism, The Summit aims to achieve green building certifications, generate over 300 local jobs, and collaborate with local artisans and suppliers to incorporate authentic regional elements into its design and guest experience. The resort will also implement water conservation measures and renewable energy solutions, ensuring that sustainability is seamlessly integrated with luxury.
“This resort is our love letter to Siliguri and the entire region,” said Sumit Mitruka, CEO & Founder, Summit Hotels & Resorts. “For 15 years, we’ve welcomed guests to our mountain properties. Now, we’re bringing that same warmth and world-class hospitality to the city that’s been our home. The Summit is our bold step into the luxury market, a destination that will set new benchmarks for Eastern India and put Siliguri firmly on the national hospitality map.”
