IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement with Yash Hotels & Resorts LLP to develop Holiday Inn Resort Alwar. The company plans to open the property in Q1 2030; consequently, this development will mark IHG’s entry into Alwar and further strengthen its resort portfolio in India, aligning with its strategy to expand across high-potential leisure and emerging destinations.
As one of IHG’s most recognised brands, Holiday Inn Hotels & Resorts focuses on delivering consistent and dependable service, thereby enabling guests to maximise their travel experiences. Moreover, the brand’s philosophy of creating brighter stays and meaningful experiences positions it strongly to cater to leisure travellers, wedding guests, and corporate groups visiting Alwar.
Located in Alwar, often referred to as the “Gateway to Rajasthan,” the 150-key resort will sit against the scenic backdrop of the Aravalli hills, where rugged landscapes meet green pockets and open spaces. Additionally, the property will benefit from its proximity to major hubs such as Delhi NCR, Jaipur, and the Sariska Tiger Reserve, thereby enhancing its appeal as a leisure and destination wedding venue.
The resort will feature multiple dining outlets, resort-style amenities, and dedicated meeting and event spaces; therefore, it will cater effectively to leisure stays, social celebrations, and corporate gatherings.
Sudeep Jain, Managing Director, South West Asia, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said, “We are pleased to partner with Yash Hotels & Resorts LLP to bring Holiday Inn Resort Alwar to market. This signing reflects our confidence in the long-term potential of emerging markets such as Alwar. With its scenic setting and the strength of the Holiday Inn Resort brand, the hotel will be well positioned to meet the evolving needs of travellers.”
Mukesh Gulati, Managing Partner, Yash Hotels & Resorts LLP added, “We are delighted to partner with IHG Hotels & Resorts to introduce the Holiday Inn Resort brand to Alwar. The city’s proximity to key markets such as Delhi NCR and Jaipur, combined with its natural beauty and cultural heritage, makes it an ideal destination for hospitality development. With IHG’s global expertise and strong brand recognition, we are confident the resort will become a preferred choice for weddings, events, and leisure stays.”
Currently, IHG operates 51 hotels across six brands in India, including Six Senses, InterContinental Hotels and Resorts, Crowne Plaza, voco Hotels, Holiday Inn Resort, and Holiday Inn Express. Furthermore, the company maintains a strong pipeline of 89 hotels scheduled to open over the next three to five years, thereby reinforcing its aggressive expansion strategy in the Indian hospitality market.
IHG’s signing of Holiday Inn Resort Alwar underscores its continued focus on tapping emerging leisure destinations and strengthening its presence in India’s fast-growing hospitality sector.
