Cygnett Hotels & Resorts has announced the expansion of its presence in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh with the signing of Cozzet Kanpur and Cygnett Inn Vrindavan, reported BW Hotelier.

Cozzet Kanpur, a brownfield project, is slated to open by the end of this year, offering a contemporary blend of comfort and cultural flair.

The hotel will feature 40 rooms, two banquet halls for up to 10,000 guests, an all-day dining restaurant, and a lounge bar.

Set to open by early 2027, the Cygnett Inn Vrindavan will provide 60 rooms and is designed for both business and leisure travellers.

The hotel will offer a rooftop swimming pool, a gym, and banquet halls for 600-800 guests.

This addition, along with the earlier signed 50-key Cozzet Vrindavan, brings Cygnett's total room inventory in Vrindavan to 100.

Cygnett Hotels & Resorts founder and managing director Sarbendra Sarkar said: “The state of Uttar Pradesh is a key market in our expansion strategy as we work towards building a portfolio of 100 hotels in the coming years. We plan to open ten to 12 properties across Uttar Pradesh over the next two to three years.”

Cygnett has also made inroads in Ayodhya, a key spiritual destination in Uttar Pradesh.

Earlier this year, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts expanded into the upscale segment with the signing of Anamore Select Resort & Wellness in Mopa, Goa, India.

Located a 15-minute drive from Mopa Airport and accessible from the Goa-Mumbai Highway, the luxury resort will feature 150 villa rooms, marking a significant diversification of Cygnett's portfolio in India.
