IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement with Yash Hotels & Resorts to develop Holiday Inn Resort Alwar, with opening scheduled for the first quarter of 2030.
The project marks IHG’s entry into Alwar and adds to its resort portfolio in India, as the company expands into leisure and emerging destinations.
The 150-key property will be located in Alwar, known as the gateway to Rajasthan, and set within the Aravalli hills. The site is within reach of Delhi NCR, Jaipur and the Sariska Tiger Reserve, areas that support visitor demand. The hotel is intended to serve leisure travellers, weddings and corporate groups.
Facilities are expected to include multiple dining venues, meeting and event spaces, and resort-style amenities.
Holiday Inn Hotels & Resorts is positioned within IHG’s midscale segment, with a focus on consistent service across locations. The brand targets a mix of leisure and business travel, including group stays and social events.
Alwar has seen increased interest as a shorthaul destination due to its location near major urban centres and access to natural and heritage sites. The development reflects wider growth in resort projects across secondary cities in India.
“This signing reflects our confidence in the long-term potential of emerging markets such as Alwar. With its scenic setting and the strength of the Holiday Inn Resort brand, the hotel will be well positioned to meet the evolving needs of travellers,” said Sudeep Jain, managing director, South West Asia, IHG Hotels & Resorts.
“The city’s proximity to key markets such as Delhi NCR and Jaipur, combined with its natural beauty and cultural heritage, makes it an ideal destination for hospitality development. We are confident the resort will become a preferred choice for weddings, events, and leisure stays,” added Mukesh Gulati, managing partner, Yash Hotels & Resorts.
