Essentia Hotels & Resorts has announced the opening of Essentia Luxury Hotel & Convention, marking the brand’s entry into one of Central India’s fastest-growing urban markets. Located in Khairy, the new property aims to cater to business travelers, MICE groups, wedding guests, and leisure tourists.
The hotel offers convenient connectivity to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport and Nagpur Junction Railway Station. Additionally, the property is located near major city landmarks such as Zero Mile Stone, Deekshabhoomi, Futala Lake, Ambazari Lake, and Sitabuldi Fort.
The launch comes as Nagpur continues strengthening its position as a major commercial, logistics, and business hub, increasing demand for organized hospitality services, convention centers, and large-scale event infrastructure. The property features 81 rooms, including seven premium rooms and one presidential suite. Furthermore, the hotel combines contemporary interiors with functional layouts to meet the needs of both corporate and leisure travelers.
A major highlight of the property is its convention and banqueting infrastructure, which spans more than 41,000 square feet. The hotel houses a dedicated convention center along with multiple conference rooms and boardroom venues, positioning it as a preferred destination for corporate events, weddings, exhibitions, and social gatherings.
The property also features event venues such as the Grand Ballroom, Orion Lawn, and Carnival meeting room, designed to host gatherings of various sizes. As destination weddings and MICE tourism continue expanding across tier-two Indian cities, the hotel is expected to strengthen Nagpur’s growing hospitality and events ecosystem.
The hotel further offers multiple dining and recreational facilities. Its all-day dining restaurant, Citron, serves a mix of international and regional cuisine prepared using seasonal ingredients. Additionally, the restaurant includes a private dining area designed for intimate gatherings and business meetings.
Meanwhile, Nirvana Lounge Bar offers beverages and curated small plates in a relaxed environment for both hotel guests and local visitors.
For wellness and recreation, the property includes a swimming pool and a fully equipped fitness center, supporting the growing demand for integrated hospitality experiences that combine accommodation, dining, recreation, and events within a single destination.
Commenting on the launch, Mohammed Parvez, CEO of Essentia Hotels & Resorts said the opening represents an important milestone in the company’s expansion strategy.
“Nagpur marks a meaningful step in our journey, and this launch reflects our belief in the potential of emerging cities shaping India’s future. Our focus has been on developing destinations that cater to business, leisure, weddings, and MICE while delivering operational strength,” he said.
He further emphasized that the company sees strong long-term growth opportunities in emerging cities such as Nagpur, which continue evolving into important commercial, logistical, and cultural centers.
The launch also reflects a broader transformation within India’s hospitality industry, where hotel brands increasingly expand beyond metropolitan cities to capture rising demand in regional urban markets. With improving infrastructure, growing business activity, and increasing domestic travel, Nagpur continues attracting significant investments across the hotel, tourism, and events sectors.
The opening of Essentia Luxury Hotel & Convention highlights the rising importance of tier-two cities in India’s hospitality growth story. By combining luxury accommodation, large-scale event infrastructure, wellness facilities, and business travel amenities, the property aims to strengthen Nagpur’s position as a key destination for MICE tourism, weddings, and premium hospitality experiences.
