Indian Hotels Company Limited has announced the signing of a Taj Hotels property in Guwahati, marking the debut of the brand in the capital city of Assam. The agreement was signed in the presence of Himanta Biswa Sarma.
The development of the 250-key Taj hotel will involve a comprehensive renovation and repositioning of the existing 150 rooms, along with the addition of 100 new rooms to expand the property’s inventory.
Commenting on the development, Puneet Chhatwal, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of IHCL, said, “The development of Taj hotel in Guwahati reflects our confidence in Assam’s economic momentum and Guwahati’s position as the commercial and cultural gateway to the Northeast. As demand in the region continues to evolve, the introduction of Taj will play a pivotal role in strengthening the city’s hospitality ecosystem while supporting its growth as a centre for business and tourism.”
Located in the heart of the city, the 250-key Taj Guwahati will be housed in the expanded land parcel of over 9 acres. The urban retreat will offer guests a hospitality experience rooted in the spirit of Assam. The hotel will feature a selection of specialty restaurants, expansive banqueting and meeting facilities and the brand’s signature J Wellness Circle, catering to both business and leisure travellers.
With the addition of this hotel, IHCL will have 5 hotels in Guwahati, including 3 under development.
