This announcement comes on the heels of IHCL’s signing of a domestic Taj-branded hotel in Chikkamagaluru, Karnataka, in collaboration with Arnaytive Resorts. 

Taj Chikkamagaluru is also a greenfield project and is part of IHCL’s broader strategy to bring India’s lesser-known leisure destinations into the international spotlight.  

It will be situated across 25 acres, offering 160 rooms. 

IHCL opened its first hotel, The Taj Mahal Palace, in Bombay in 1903, and now has 345 hotels across four continents and 13 countries. Of these hotels, 115 are under development. 

The company’s brands include Taj, Gateway, SeleQtions, Vivanta, and Ginger.
