The Uttarakhand signing follows Accor’s agreement last month to develop Novotel Solan Kumarhatti in Himachal Pradesh.
The 120-room Novotel Solan Kumarhatti is expected to open in 2031, according to ET Hospitality World.

Ennismore, a joint venture in which Accor has a majority shareholding, is also adding properties in the region.
