Polo Hotels & Resorts has announced the signing of Polo Hotel Aizawl, marking the hospitality group’s first property in Mizoram and strengthening its presence across Northeast India. Through this strategic expansion, the company continues to reinforce its commitment to delivering premium hospitality experiences while supporting the region’s rapidly growing tourism sector.
The signing follows the execution of a Concession Agreement with the Government of Mizoram to redevelop the Chaltlang Tourist Lodge into a premium hotel under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. The project represents a significant milestone for both the state and Polo Hotels Group as it aims to introduce world-class hospitality infrastructure to one of India’s emerging tourism destinations.
Once completed, Polo Hotel Aizawl will become Mizoram’s first five-star hotel, setting a new benchmark for luxury hospitality in the state. The property will feature an all-day dining restaurant, a specialty restaurant, a lounge, and an upscale pool area designed to cater to both business and leisure travellers.
Additionally, the hotel will house the city’s largest and most versatile event spaces, including expansive banquet halls and multiple meeting rooms, making it an attractive destination for corporate events, conferences, weddings, and social gatherings. The property will also include a state-of-the-art fitness centre and a swimming pool to provide guests with a comprehensive luxury hospitality experience.
Deval Tibrewalla, CEO and Director, Polo Hotels Group, said, “The signing of Polo Hotel Aizawl marks another important milestone in our journey of building world-class hospitality experiences across Northeast India. We are honoured to partner with the Government of Mizoram on this landmark project and sincerely thank them for their trust and support. Aizawl is a destination with immense potential, and we look forward to creating a hotel that not only sets new benchmarks in hospitality but also contributes meaningfully to tourism, employment generation and the state’s economic growth.”
Furthermore, the latest signing strengthens Polo Hotels Group’s leadership position in the Northeast hospitality market. With the addition of Polo Hotel Aizawl, the company’s portfolio has expanded to 16 hotels, including seven properties currently under development. The group continues to strengthen its presence across Meghalaya, Tripura, Assam, Nagaland, Mizoram, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh, reflecting its long-term strategy to expand its premium hospitality network across India.
The project also aligns with the Government of Mizoram’s vision to enhance tourism infrastructure, attract domestic and international visitors, and generate new employment opportunities. As tourism demand continues to rise in Northeast India, the new luxury hotel is expected to play a key role in positioning Aizawl as a leading leisure and business travel destination.
The signing of Polo Hotel Aizawl marks a significant step in Polo Hotels & Resorts’ expansion strategy and highlights its confidence in Northeast India’s tourism potential. By developing Mizoram’s first five-star hotel through a public-private partnership, the group aims to elevate the state’s hospitality landscape while contributing to tourism growth, employment generation, and regional economic development. The project further reinforces Polo Hotels’ position as one of the leading hospitality brands driving premium hotel development across Northeast India.
