Ananta Hotels & Resorts has announced the signing of Ananta Express, Jaunpur, in Kulhnamau, Uttar Pradesh, further strengthening its presence in India’s growing Tier III hospitality markets. The upcoming hotel forms part of the group’s ongoing expansion strategy and reinforces its focus on emerging destinations with increasing demand for organized hospitality services.
The new property will feature 44 well-appointed rooms, including 40 Deluxe Rooms and four Executive Rooms. Guests will have access to a range of modern amenities, including a 60-cover multi-cuisine restaurant, a discotheque bar, a boardroom, a club room, a recreation room, a swimming pool terrace, and more than 11,000 square feet of landscaped lawns.
Ananta Hotels & Resorts has designed the property with a strong emphasis on events, celebrations, and banqueting. The hotel will house the 7,200-square-foot Kabir Grand Banquet Hall, the 1,800-square-foot Gomti Banquet Hall, and the 2,200-square-foot Gomti Open Terrace. These facilities will enable the property to host weddings, social celebrations, corporate meetings, institutional events, and large-scale gatherings.
Strategically located in Jaunpur, the hotel will benefit from its proximity to several major religious, spiritual, and cultural destinations in Uttar Pradesh, including Varanasi, Sarnath, Ayodhya, and Prayagraj. Additionally, visitors will have convenient access to some of Jaunpur’s renowned heritage attractions, such as Atala Masjid, Shahi Bridge, and Shitla Chaukiya Dham, further enhancing the destination’s tourism appeal.
Commenting on the development, Rupam Das, Chief Operating Officer, Ananta Hotels & Resorts (Ananta Global), said, “Jaunpur is a market with strong underlying demand for organized hospitality, particularly around weddings and social events. The city’s position between Varanasi, Ayodhya, and Prayagraj gives it a natural advantage that has remained largely untapped by professional hotel operators. Ananta Express, Jaunpur, will bring together banqueting, accommodation, and dining in a single, well-managed property designed to serve the needs of this growing region.”
The property will operate under Ananta Hotels & Resorts’ management partnership model and aligns with the company’s asset-light growth strategy. Through this approach, the group continues to expand its hospitality footprint while optimizing operational efficiency and market reach.
The signing of Ananta Express, Jaunpur, follows the company’s recent expansion initiatives in key destinations such as Katra, Ajmer, Somnath, and Dehradun. As demand for quality hospitality infrastructure continues to rise in emerging cities, Ananta Hotels & Resorts remains focused on delivering premium accommodation, event facilities, and guest experiences across India’s rapidly growing travel and tourism landscape.
