Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), India's largest hospitality company, has announced plans for two upcoming hotels near the world's tallest statue, the Statue of Unity, in Ekta Nagar, Gujarat. The foundation stone was laid by Jaishankar, Minister of External Affairs, in the presence of Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons and Puneet Chhatwal, Managing Director & CEO, IHCL.
According to Chhatwal, it is the company's privilege to play a role in the vision to create a world-class destination in Ekta Nagar. They are delighted to bring their signature hospitality to the region.
"The rapid growth of our footprint in Gujarat is an exciting development for IHCL, and these hotels will be a significant addition to our portfolio. Ekta Nagar is planned as a leading tourism destination in the country, and IHCL, in partnership with the Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Ltd. (SSNNL), will offer exceptional experiences for travellers with the two hotels."
The 125-room Vivanta and a 150-room Ginger will be just a short drive from the Statue of Unity and offer a variety of dining and recreational facilities across both properties. Additionally, the Vivanta hotel will include conferencing and wellness facilities to cater to business and leisure travellers alike. The project is slated to open in 2025.
Nestled in the Narmada district in the heart of Gujarat, Ekta Nagar is anticipated to become an iconic destination with its many tourist attractions, including the Statue of Unity, Valley of Flowers, Zarvani eco-tourism and Shoolpaneshwar temple, among others.
