Cygnett Hotels & Resorts has announced the signing of its second hotel in Ayodhya, further reinforcing its footprint in the fast-growing pilgrim city, where it earlier became the first branded hotel operator. With this development, the group continues to strengthen its position in one of India’s most significant spiritual destinations. The upcoming property will operate under the Cozzet brand and will cater to the value hotel segment, addressing the rising need for organised accommodation.
Meanwhile, Cozzet Ayodhya will feature 70 well-appointed rooms, along with an all-day dining restaurant and essential guest facilities tailored for both leisure and corporate travellers. In addition, the hotel will house a spacious 8,000 sq ft banquet hall with an adjoining lawn, enabling it to host weddings, social celebrations, and large-scale gatherings. To further enhance guest experience, the property will also offer a gymnasium, multiple conference rooms, and technology-driven solutions designed specifically for business travellers.
Strategically, the hotel enjoys a prime location on the Gorakhpur–Lucknow Highway, ensuring convenient accessibility. The property sits approximately five kilometres from Maharishi Valmiki International Airport and just 1.5 kilometres from the Ram Mandir, making it highly attractive for pilgrims. Moreover, select rooms will provide direct views of the temple precinct, adding to the hotel’s appeal.
At the same time, Ayodhya continues to witness a surge in visitor traffic, driven by major infrastructure upgrades, improved road connectivity, and the commencement of operations at the new airport. Consequently, these developments have significantly boosted demand for professionally managed hotels, particularly within the economy and mid-scale segments.
Commenting on the signing, Sarbendra Sarkar, Founder and Managing Director, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts, said, “Ayodhya represents the kind of destination where organised economy hospitality has a clear and long-term role to play. With Cozzet Ayodhya, our focus is on offering dependable quality, efficient design, and strong value to guests visiting the city for faith, family events, and short leisure stays. This signing aligns with our strategy of expanding in high-growth pilgrimage and tier-two markets where demand visibility is strong.”
The signing of Cozzet Ayodhya marks another strategic step in Cygnett Hotels & Resorts’ expansion across high-potential pilgrimage and tier-two destinations. By combining a prime location, event-ready infrastructure, and value-focused hospitality, the upcoming hotel is well positioned to support Ayodhya’s evolving tourism ecosystem while meeting the growing expectations of modern travellers.
