IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement with Four Vedas Hotels & Resorts to bring the Holiday Inn brand to Siliguri, West Bengal, India.

Four Vedas Hotels & Resorts is a joint venture of Kaysons Group, Sagar Group, and Golden Goenka Group.

Set to open in 2027, the 111-room hotel will provide three dining options, two meeting spaces, and a fitness centre.

The Holiday Inn in Siliguri is designed to cater to a broad range of guests, from corporate and meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) travellers to leisure tourists.

Located in Siliguri’s city centre, the hotel is set to capture demand from the city's growing MICE sector, business hubs, and leisure tourism.

IHG said the project aligns with its plan to expand in secondary markets across India.

IHG Hotels & Resorts South West Asia managing director Sudeep Jain said: “We are delighted to announce the signing of Holiday Inn Siliguri, further strengthening our mainstream portfolio in India. Siliguri’s significance as a commercial and transit hub, along with its growing prominence in trade and MICE, makes it an ideal location for us to open a hotel.”

The hotel will incorporate the brand’s Open Lobby concept, which is designed to serve as a social hub for dining, working, or unwinding.

IHG operates 51 hotels in India across six brands: Six Senses, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, Crowne Plaza, voco Hotels, Holiday Inn Resort and Holiday Inn Express.

The company has a pipeline of 72 additional hotels scheduled to open within the next three to five years.

In a recent development, IHG announced plans for the Crowne Plaza hotel near Disneyland Paris, in partnership with Danish real estate company Proark.
