ECKO Hotels & Resorts has expanded its national footprint with the launch of ECKO Hotel, Nashik, marking the hospitality brand’s first property in Western India. The opening represents a significant milestone in the company’s expansion strategy as it strengthens its presence across key business, leisure and pilgrimage destinations in the country.
Located on the Mumbai–Agra National Highway near the Ambad Industrial Corridor, ECKO Hotel Nashik caters primarily to modern business travellers while also serving leisure guests. The property offers 42 rooms and suites, including Standard, Premium, Executive Suite and Presidential Suite categories, each designed to combine contemporary functionality with warm and comfortable interiors.
The hotel also features Dandelion, a multi-cuisine restaurant serving Indian, Chinese, Continental and regional dishes alongside a daily buffet breakfast. Additionally, the property offers a dedicated boardroom, two flexible Orchid event spaces, a terrace venue and a landscaped lawn, making it suitable for corporate meetings, social gatherings and private celebrations.
The Nashik property reflects ECKO’s Re-leisure philosophy, which blends business convenience with meaningful leisure experiences under one roof. The city continues to attract corporate travellers because of its thriving industrial ecosystem, while its renowned vineyards have established Nashik as one of India’s leading wine tourism destinations.
Furthermore, the hotel provides convenient access to several important pilgrimage destinations. Shirdi, home to the revered Sai Baba Temple, is located around 90 kilometres away, while Anjaneri Hill, believed to be the birthplace of Lord Hanuman, offers another significant spiritual attraction. Nashik also occupies a prominent place in Hindu pilgrimage, as it hosts the Kumbh Mela every twelve years, with the next edition scheduled for October 2026.
Speaking about the expansion, Perkin Rocha, Founder, ECKO Hotels & Resorts, said, “Nashik has been on our radar for some time – and the timing felt right. This is a city that punches above its weight. It draws corporate travellers, pilgrims, wine enthusiasts, and leisure seekers, often all at once. That is exactly the kind of location where the ECKO model thrives. We are not just opening a hotel; we are making a statement about where we are headed in Western India. This opening marks a defining chapter in our journey to build a hospitality brand that is both commercially strong and rooted in the fabric of the places we enter.”
The opening of ECKO Hotel Nashik further strengthens the brand’s growing hospitality portfolio, which already includes properties across Haridwar, Rishikesh, Pandukeshwar, Lansdowne, Amritsar, Udaipur, Hyderabad and Bengaluru. Moreover, the company has announced upcoming hotels in Dehradun, Goa, Puri and Rajasthan, reflecting its continued expansion across leisure, pilgrimage and business destinations.
By entering Western India through Nashik, ECKO Hotels & Resorts has taken another strategic step in broadening its geographic presence. The latest addition not only enhances the brand’s nationwide portfolio but also positions it to capitalise on one of India’s most economically vibrant and rapidly growing hospitality markets.
