IHG announces Holiday Inn Resort Sakleshpur Western Ghats in South of India

Sudeep Jain, Managing Director, South West Asia, IHG commented: “We are thrilled to announce the signing of our first Holiday Inn Resort in southern India, in partnership with Riteway and Medha Projects. In a country driven by domestic tourism, our Holiday Inn hotels and resorts are great destinations for travellers looking for activities and amenities to keep the whole family engaged and relaxed, and we are committed to expand the brand to new markets in India.  On opening in 2023, I am confident that Holiday Inn Resort Sakleshpur Western Ghats will be an excellent choice for travellers looking for a relaxing staycation or vacation in a beautiful hill station or guests looking to organize MICE events in unique and serene surroundings. Domestic travel will become ever more important in the coming years. The value proposition that the Holiday Inn brand offers to the owners and guests is apt and will be exemplified in the new Holiday Inn Resort in Sakleshpur.

He added: The signing is testament to the confidence our owners and partners hold in IHG, despite the current impact of the global pandemic on our industry. In last three months, we have not only signed more hotels but with easing of restrictions, we have also opened existing and new properties in India to offer safe and reliable experiences that guests are looking for at this time, powered by IHG’s Way of Clean and our Clean Promise.”

With the combination of the natural bounties of the Western Ghats, a preferred brand like Holiday Inn and IHG’s proven expertise, we are confident that on opening, the new Holiday Inn Resort will offer unique experiences to guests visiting Sakleshpur and will become a preferred destination for travelers visiting this part of India.”
