IHCL Real Estate & Development executive vice-president Suma Venkatesh said: “These signings are in line with IHCL’s vision to strengthen its presence across spiritual centres in India. Ayodhya is an important pilgrimage site and receives a very high footfall throughout the year.

“These hotels will also complete the travel circuit with Lucknow and Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh. We are delighted to partner with Bhardwaj Global Infraventures Private Limited for these two hotels.” 

Bhardwaj Global Infraventures director Ramendra Pratap Singh and project head Shivendra Pratap Singh said: “The Vivanta and Ginger hotels will be the first branded hotels in Ayodhya and will deliver a world-class hospitality experience to the guests visiting the holy city.”

The new hotels will bring the total number of IHCL properties across Taj, Vivanta, SeleQtions and Ginger brands across Uttar Pradesh to 19, including nine under development.  

In January this year, IHCL opened a SeleQtions branded hotel in Dudhwa, Uttar Pradesh. The Jaagir Manor hotel is located in the heart of the rainforests of the Terai Himalayas bordering Nepal.
