Fortune Hotels has expanded its footprint in India by signing a new resort property in Uttarakhand’s Jim Corbett, reported the Economic Times.

The project, which is expected to open in late 2023 or early 2024, will be Fortune Hotels' first jungle resort.

It will be named Fortune Jungle Resort & Spa and is located near Ramnagar.

The new property is the 60th Indian collaboration by Fortune Hotels, a unit of ITC’s hotel group.

Along with rooms, suites and studios, the new hotel will offer a variety of dining options, recreational amenities and a spa.

The timber-built African-themed resort has been designed by architect John Hay.

Fortune Jungle Resort & Spa is surrounded by forests and offers views of the Bohrakot Wildlife Reserve.

It features Swiss-style cabins, thatched roofs and décor by skilled artisans from across the globe.

Fortune Hotels managing director Samir MC stated: “Our new property in Jim Corbett offers tremendous location advantage as it appeals to nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers alike.

“This landmark alliance marks our entry into our 50th location in India besides helping us advance our footprint into Devbhoomi Uttarakhand, making it a significant milestone for us. We are excited to let guests experience the innate beauty of the Jim Corbett National Park amidst the plush comforts and personalised services that Fortune Hotels is known for.”

This strategic expansion forms part of the brand's goal of becoming the go-to option for leisure visitors.
