Indian hospitality group Lemon Tree Hotels has announced plans to expand its portfolio with the signing of a licence agreement to open a new property in Amritsar, Punjab.

The hotel, which is expected to open in the fiscal year (FY) 2028, will be managed by Carnation Hotels, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lemon Tree Hotels.  

The upcoming Lemon Tree Hotel in Amritsar will feature a total of 68 guest rooms, complemented by a range of facilities.

These amenities include a restaurant, a rooftop bar, dedicated meeting rooms, a fitness centre, two banquet halls, and a swimming pool.

Located approximately 19km from Sri Guru Ram Das Jee International Airport and 9km from Amritsar Railway Station, the hotel will be easily accessible for travellers.

The new property aims to serve the millions of pilgrims and tourists who visit Amritsar annually, drawn by attractions such as the Golden Temple and the historical Jallianwala Bagh memorial.

Lemon Tree Hotels managed and franchise business CEO Vilas Pawar said: “We are excited to share that we have signed our fifth upcoming property in Punjab, further underscoring our commitment to delivering exceptional hospitality and memorable experiences for our guests.

“This new venture highlights our dedication to growing our presence in this vibrant region, providing travellers with a seamless blend of comfort and authentic local charm.”

Lemon Tree Hotels operates across various segments, including upscale, upper-midscale, midscale, and economy.

The company has grown to a portfolio of over 160 hotels, including more than 110 operational hotels and over 60 upcoming properties in India and abroad. 

The company's international expansion began with the opening of hotels in Dubai in December 2019, followed by Bhutan in February 2020 and Nepal in April 2024.

Recently, Lemon Tree Hotels confirmed opening a new hotel in Mcleodganj, marking its third property in Himachal Pradesh, India.
