IHG Hotels & Resorts has entered a management agreement with Hotel Chetan International to develop two new hotels in Bengaluru, India.

The hotels under the Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn Express brands will be developed at the KIADB Aerospace Park. This will add more than 420 rooms to IHG's portfolio in India.

Both hotels are scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2028.

Situated in Bengaluru's industrial and aerospace parks, near Kempegowda International Airport, the hotels aim to attract clients from aerospace and technology companies, Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and corporates.

According to IHG, the proximity to the upcoming BCCI Centre of Excellence and National Cricket Academy will further enhance the location's appeal for business, leisure and MICE segments.

IHG Hotels & Resorts South West Asia managing director Sudeep Jain said: “We are delighted to strengthen our presence in Bengaluru with the addition of two strategically located hotels in the thriving KIADB Aerospace Park.

“The presence of leading aerospace and technology companies, coupled with the upcoming BCCI Centre of Excellence, makes this location a key demand generator across business, leisure, and social segments. With the introduction of Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn Express in this hub, we are confident of catering to a wide spectrum of travellers seeking both premium experiences and smart, convenient stays."

The 210-key Crowne Plaza hotel will have four dining venues, including an all-day dining restaurant, a restaurant, a pool bar and a lobby lounge. 

The hotel will also feature various meeting spaces across four venues, including a ballroom for weddings, conferences and social gatherings.

The 210-key Holiday Inn Express hotel will provide a fitness centre and parking spaces.

Hotel Chetan International managing partner HC Byregowda said: “The strategic location, coupled with IHG’s strong global systems and the IHG One Rewards loyalty programme, gives us great confidence in the success of these hotels. Together, we aim to deliver high-quality hospitality experiences that will cater to both domestic and international travellers.”

Last month, IHG entered a management agreement with Hotel Eastern Nepal to open a new Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Dhulabari, Nepal.
