Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) has signed an agreement to open a new Gateway hotel in Dirang, Arunachal Pradesh, India.
The planned property, Gateway Dirang, will be a greenfield development situated in the West Kameng district.
The 70-room facility will offer a speciality restaurant, an all-day dining restaurant, and a bar, alongside a banquet hall, swimming pool, meeting rooms, spa, and fitness centre.
IHCL real estate and development executive vice-president Suma Venkatesh said: “Supported by its natural landscape and improving accessibility, Dirang is witnessing growing demand from both leisure travellers and adventure enthusiasts.
“Its strategic location en route to Tawang positions it as an important destination in Arunachal Pradesh’s tourism itinerary. The signing of Gateway Dirang reflects IHCL’s focus on pioneering new and emerging destinations, and we are delighted to partner with Phurpa Tsering for this project.”
With this new opening, IHCL’s presence in the North East will increase to 21 hotels, with 12 currently under development.
Earlier this month, IHCL signed a Gateway Hotel and Convention Centre in Kanamangala, Devanahalli, near Bengaluru Airport in Karnataka. The project will be a greenfield development, adding to the company’s presence in Bengaluru, where it will have 20 hotels, including 11 currently under development.
