During FY 2025–26, the hotel industry was shaped by strong domestic tourism growth in India, which led to recovery in occupancy and RevPAR. The GST rate revision brought in uniformity & simplicity that enhanced affordability & occupancy, particularly for mid-scale hotels. However, the geopolitical tensions such as Operation Sindoor and conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East raised energy costs. Tariff increases and U.S. trade disputes affected inbound travel patterns. Extreme weather events continued to disrupt business at several key destinations.
Despite the above challenges, evolving guest expectations, and increased competition, Lords Hotels & Resorts has announced a stellar year-end performance for 2025 and reported double-digit revenue growth across its portfolio, driven by strong occupancy rates and enhanced average room revenues, underscoring its resilience, strategic expansion, and commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences.
In 2025, Lords Hotels & Resorts expanded its footprint with 18 new properties across emerging markets, including Bettiah, Bhopal, Chintpurni, Gir, Goa, Joshimath, Katra, Kota, Mandi, Nanded, Purulia, Rajkot, Sagara, Salangpur, Sanand, Shivamogga, Udaipur, and Chitwan (Nepal), bringing the brand closer to its long-term vision of 100 operational hotels by 2030. This expansion not only strengthens market presence but also reflects the brand’s commitment to accessible, quality hospitality for business and leisure travellers alike.
