Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels Limited has signed a hotel management agreement with Luxmi Tea Co. Private Limited to develop THE Park Siliguri, a 100-room hotel that will come up within the Chandmani Tea Estate in Siliguri. Through this partnership, the companies aim to create a unique hospitality destination in North Bengal.
The developers will build the project under the Tea Tourism Policy of the Government of West Bengal. They will spread the development across approximately 3.25 acres within the tea estate landscape. Moreover, the project timeline targets completion by March 2031.
The upcoming hotel will stand about 12.7 kilometres from Bagdogra Airport, which will improve accessibility for travellers visiting the region. Furthermore, the property will cater to tourists exploring the eastern Himalayan belt. Siliguri plays a crucial role as the gateway to Sikkim and the Eastern Himalayas, and therefore it serves as a key hub for tourism, trade, and regional connectivity.
In addition, the signing strengthens Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels Limited’s growing presence in the Himalayan corridor. The company already operates hospitality properties in the region, including Zone by The Park Darjeeling and Zone Connect by The Park Gangtok. Consequently, the new project will further expand the group’s strategic footprint in this important tourism belt.
Priya Paul, Chairperson, Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels Limited, said, “We are delighted to sign THE Park Siliguri. The city is one of the most dynamic links to the Eastern Himalayas, and we see tremendous opportunity to create a destination that is both rooted in the tea estate legacy while introducing a bold, contemporary perspective on hospitality—creating experiences that are vibrant, design-forward, and Anything But Ordinary™. This project will strengthen the region’s MICE ecosystem while creating meaningful employment and skill development opportunities for young people across Siliguri and the hills. We are confident this collaboration will set a new benchmark for the region.”
Rudra Chatterjee, Managing Director, Luxmi Tea Company Private Limited, said, “We are delighted to partner with THE Park Hotel in Siliguri, as it reflects our strong commitment to Siliguri and the wider North Bengal region as an emerging tourism and business destination. We are equally committed to skill development initiatives that empower talented young individuals from Siliguri, the hills, and across North Bengal.”
Meanwhile, the partnership reflects a broader effort to promote tourism-driven development in the region. The project will also contribute to local employment opportunities while supporting skill development initiatives for young professionals.
With this new signing, Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels Limited continues to expand its hospitality portfolio across Eastern India. At the same time, the company strengthens its strategic presence in West Bengal while tapping into the tourism and business potential of the eastern Himalayan gateway.
