“The company now has three of its brands – Taj, Vivanta and Ginger present in beautiful state of Sikkim.”

Separately, IHCL has announced the laying of the foundation stone for Vivanta and Ginger properties in Gujarat, India.

On 3 September, Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar laid the foundation stone of the two properties located near the famous Statue of Unity in Ekta Nagar, Gujarat.

IHCL CEO and managing director Puneet Chhatwal said: “Ekta Nagar is planned as a leading tourism destination in country and IHCL, in partnership with Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam (SSNNL), will offer exceptional experiences for travellers with two hotels.”

The 150-room Ginger hotel will include various amenities and in-house dining areas.

Besides, the 125-room Vivanta property will feature dedicated conference venues and wellness areas. It will be suitable for both leisure and business guests.

The two new hotels fall under IHCL’s Greenfield project and are expected to open in 2025.
