The Taj Raipur hotel will be carried out as a brownfield project and have an auditorium, which will be the first in the city.
The hotel will also introduce IHCL’s signature Jiva spa brand to the city, including recreational facilities such as a swimming pool, gym, and salon.
IHCL managing director and chief executive officer Puneet Chhatwal said: “This signing is in line with IHCL’s vision to be present in every state capital of the country. Chhattisgarh is one of the fastest-developing states in India.
“Raipur is a major commercial hub for the state, as well as central India. We are delighted to partner with Krish (Raipur) Hotels, a part of Vyapak Group and bring the Taj brand to the city.”
Taj Raipur will be Vyapak Group’s first luxury hotel venture.
