Sterling Holiday Resorts has announced the launch of Sterling Arka Suites, Puri’s first all-suite upscale boutique hotel, thereby opening a refined new chapter in the brand’s coastal journey in Odisha.
Although the property sits within the same precinct as the existing Sterling Puri resort, Sterling has conceived this elevated block as a distinct boutique sanctuary. Consequently, the hotel offers enhanced space, greater privacy, and a more indulgent stay experience, while still remaining seamlessly connected to the larger destination resort.
With the addition of Sterling Arka Suites Puri, Sterling now presents the most expansive portfolio of stays in the sacred seaside town. Notably, every suite features a pool-facing private balcony, along with thoughtfully planned, spacious interiors. Moreover, the hotel showcases walls adorned with contemporary interpretations of Odisha’s Pattachitra art, complemented by plush living and bath areas. Together, these elements create an experience tailored for discerning travellers who value space, privacy, and unhurried luxury, while encouraging a more intimate way to unwind in Puri.
Commenting on the launch, Vikram Lalvani, Managing Director and CEO of Sterling, said, “Sterling had an early and committed presence in Puri, and over the years we’ve seen the destination evolve into a more layered leisure and cultural hub. Sterling Arka Suites Puri marks the next phase of that journey—introducing Puri’s first all-suite, upscale boutique experience within a destination we’ve helped shape over time. This all-suite addition allows us to offer a more intimate, elevated stay while remaining seamlessly connected to the larger Sterling Puri ecosystem, giving travellers greater choice, space, and depth in how they experience the city—whether for leisure, culture, or longer, immersive stays.”
In addition, dining at the property features Solara, which serves global cuisine infused with local influences. At the same time, guests can also access Amo Odisha, the Odiya speciality restaurant located at Sterling Puri. Together, the integrated destination delivers curated cultural experiences, expansive event spaces for large gatherings, and engaging activities for families.
Furthermore, Arka Suites enhances Sterling’s capability to host celebrations and social events in Puri. The property offers versatile venues that can accommodate over 700 guests, while still catering to cultural-learning corners and activity zones designed to engage younger travellers.
Strategically, the property enjoys convenient driving access to both the Jagannath Temple and Puri’s beachfront. As a result, Sterling further strengthens its destination-led hospitality portfolio in the region, reinforcing Puri’s position as a holistic leisure, cultural, and spiritual destination.
