Cygnett Hotels & Resorts has expanded its footprint in Rajasthan with the signing of a 50-key Cozzet hotel in Ringas, near Khatu Shyam, as the hospitality company strengthens its premium economy portfolio across pilgrimage and regional travel markets.
The signing comes amid the growing prominence of Khatu Shyam as a major pilgrimage destination in Rajasthan. Moreover, in 2025, the shrine recorded approximately 2.54 crore devotees, making it the state’s leading religious tourism destination and, in turn, driving demand for organised accommodation and supporting hospitality infrastructure along the Khatu Shyam-Ringas corridor.
The brownfield project, Cozzet Khatushyam, is expected to open its doors to guests in mid-2027. Furthermore, the hotel will offer 50 contemporary rooms, an all-day dining restaurant, a health club, and a swimming pool.
Located around 18 km from Khatu Shyam Ji Temple, the upcoming Cozzet property will cater to pilgrims, families, leisure travellers and transit guests. Additionally, the hotel will be situated just 100 metres from Ringas railway station and will offer direct access to NH-52, thereby connecting the area with Jaipur.
The property will also target the local social and events segment through a 2,500 sq. ft. banquet venue with capacity for approximately 180-200 guests.
Commenting on the signing, Sarbendra Sarkar, Founder & Managing Director, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts, said, “Pilgrimage travel is increasingly becoming an important driver of hospitality demand across India. Destinations receiving millions of visitors annually require not just additional room inventory, but dependable branded accommodation with consistent service standards. Khatu Shyam is a strong example of this transition. With its proximity to the shrine and excellent road and rail connectivity, Ringas presents a compelling opportunity for Cozzet to serve this rapidly growing travel corridor.”
Cozzet by Cygnett serves as the company’s flagship premium economy and micro-hospitality brand. Built around its “Smart, Safe & Sensible” philosophy, the brand combines contemporary accommodation and essential amenities with efficient services for business, leisure, and transit travellers.
The new signing also supports Cygnett’s broader Cozzet expansion plans, as India’s micro- and mid-scale hospitality market is projected to reach US$7.60 billion by 2031. Cozzet currently has a development pipeline of approximately 600 keys, with hotels under development and in pre-opening stages across Noida, Ayodhya, Amritsar, Jaipur, and Arunachal Pradesh, among other locations.
Cygnett plans to continue expanding Cozzet through an asset-light and scalable model, targeting pilgrimage centres, transit hubs, business markets, and emerging urban destinations. Furthermore, the latest signing in Ringas supports this strategy by positioning the brand in a travel corridor that benefits from strong pilgrimage demand as well as convenient road and rail connectivity.
