Pride Hotels Limited, in partnership with Ekarth Group, has announced the grand opening of Pride Elite Gandhinagar, further consolidating the group’s presence in Gujarat and the wider Ahmedabad–Gandhinagar corridor.
With this launch, Pride Hotels marks its second managed property in Ahmedabad’s immediate region, following the successful opening of Biznotel by Pride, Motera. Consequently, the new property represents another milestone in the brand’s calibrated expansion across high-potential urban centres and emerging destinations. Moreover, Pride Hotels Limited has now scaled its Gujarat portfolio to 19 operational hotels, underlining its focused market-penetration strategy across high-growth business hubs and key administrative locations.
Strategically located in Gandhinagar, Pride Elite Gandhinagar is designed to cater to business travellers, government officials, MICE groups, and leisure guests alike. In addition, the hotel offers contemporary interiors, efficient service delivery, and convenient access to major commercial and civic centres.
Commenting on the launch, Atul Upadhyay, Executive Director, Pride Hotels Limited, said, “The launch of Pride Elite Gandhinagar is a significant milestone in our growth journey. Gandhinagar is rapidly emerging as a key destination driven by governance, infrastructure development, and tourism initiatives, and we see strong potential for quality hospitality in the region. This addition reflects our strategy of strengthening our presence in high-growth markets while offering guests reliable service, well-located hotels, and thoughtfully designed experiences.”
Pride Elite Gandhinagar features 72 well-appointed rooms, crafted to deliver a balanced blend of comfort, functionality, and understated elegance. Notably, the hotel’s food and beverage offerings stand out as a key differentiator. Casablanca, the property’s train-themed, purely vegetarian fine-dining restaurant, brings together global favorites and regional flavours in a refined yet relaxed ambience.
Additionally, Café Pride serves as a lively all-day dining venue, offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner through buffet and à la carte formats. The outlet also features an inviting rooftop dining experience with a strong emphasis on both global and regional cuisine.
Beyond dining, the hotel provides a range of flexible banquet and event spaces, making it suitable for corporate meetings, social gatherings, and celebrations. These include a private dining room for intimate events and a spacious open-air rooftop venue ideal for evening functions and wedding day setups. Furthermore, the rooftop dining area introduces a distinctive experiential element with a Jacuzzi paired with table setups, curated for candle-lit dinners, date nights, and special occasions such as haldi ceremonies and bachelorette celebrations.
Highlighting the regional strategy, Koustuva Mukherjee, Associate Vice President, Gujarat, Hyderabad, Goa & Telengana, said, “Gujarat continues to be a priority market for Pride Hotels Limited, and Gandhinagar, in particular, offers a unique blend of administrative importance, cultural depth, and proximity to Ahmedabad. Pride Elite Gandhinagar has been curated to meet the evolving needs of business and leisure travellers alike, with strong F&B offerings and versatile event spaces that cater to the city’s growing demand.”
