Located in the foothills of the spiritual site of Vaishno Devi, the property will feature 98 guest rooms and suites, a gymnasium, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TV and workspaces.

Additionally, Holiday Inn Katra Vaishno Devi will feature an all-day dining restaurant called Viva, which will serve a variety of Oriental, Continental and Indian cuisines and will have a live kitchen.

Located in the city centre of Katra, Jammu, the property is 90m away from the Katra railway station and 60 minutes from the Jammu Airport.

Holiday Inn Katra Vaishno Devi general manager Ritesh Sharma said: “We are delighted to announce the opening of Holiday Inn Katra Vaishno Devi. Katra is a hotspot pilgrimage centre due to the presence of the Vaishno Devi shrine. The introduction of Holiday Inn Katra at a sought-after location would be an excellent addition to the IHG portfolio in the region.”

“India has been a focused domestic market for IHG and the addition of Holiday Inn Katra Vaishno Devi to our brand portfolio will cater to the growing demand for quality accommodations in secondary markets and more importantly in spiritual circuits.”
