The Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) today announced its second hotel in Odisha with the signing of a new Vivanta hotel in Bhubaneswar through a management contract with Lifeline Multi-Ventures. The signing is in line with the company's strategic expansion plans for driving aggressive growth.

Vivanta Bhubaneswar, located at Patrapada in Kalinga Nagar, is part of DN Regalia Mall, a mixed use development. The hotel will comprise 137 well-furnished guest rooms and other features, including multi-cuisine restaurants, recreation facilities, modern meeting spaces, well-equipped conference rooms and banqueting facilities. It is slated to open in early 2020.

Bhubaneswar is the administrative, political and financial capital of Odisha. It is one of modern India's first planned and fastest-developing cities. Bhubaneswar is also an emerging information technology and education hub. The city is supposed to have over 1000 temples, earning it the tag of 'Temple City of India'. With Puri and Konark it forms the Swarna Tribhuja ('Golden Triangle'), one of eastern India's most visited destinations.
