Occupying eight acres of pristine landscape in Narendra Nagar, overlooking the Ganges valley, the resort will feature 160 spacious rooms and suites, each designed to harmonise contemporary elegance with local artistry. Guests will enjoy panoramic mountain views, lush gardens, and the serene sound of flowing waters, creating an atmosphere of pure tranquillity.

The resort will feature five distinctive dining destinations, including a signature restaurant, specialty rooftop dining, a pool bar & grill, and an elegant lobby lounge and bar, each celebrating refined gastronomy inspired by French flair and Indian tradition.

Complementing the culinary experiences, Sofitel Rishikesh Narendra Nagar will offer an expansive wellness sanctuary featuring two swimming pools, a 623 square meters Sofitel Spa with six treatment rooms, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, and curated yoga and meditation programs inspired by the region's ancient practices.

Event and celebration spaces will include over 2,000 square meters of banqueting facilities with elegant indoor ballrooms, outdoor lawns, and a dedicated bridal suite, positioning the resort as a premier venue for weddings, wellness retreats, meetings and conferences.

Developed in collaboration with Dangayach Group, a leading Indian conglomerate with over five decades of experience across hospitality, jewellery, and real estate, the project builds upon the group's portfolio of prestigious hotels across India and internationally, including renowned brands such as Marriott, Hilton, Radisson, and ITC.

With a shared commitment to craftsmanship, authenticity, and innovation, Accor and Dangayach Group aim to create a destination that celebrates India's rich cultural legacy while upholding global standards of sustainable luxury. The resort will be developed as a new-build, incorporating Accor's latest sustainability standards and energy efficiency guidelines under the group's Planet 21 and Gaia 2.0 frameworks.

From its mountain-inspired architecture and locally crafted interiors to bespoke experiences celebrating the heritage of the Himalayas, Sofitel Rishikesh Narendra Nagar will offer guests a journey of discovery and connection. Every detail, from design to dining, scent to sound, will reflect Sofitel's philosophy of heartfelt and committed luxury with a French zest.

When complete, Sofitel Rishikesh Narendra Nagar will stand as a beacon of refined luxury and spiritual harmony, strengthening Accor's presence in India's luxury leisure market and supporting the country's growing appeal as a global destination for wellness, culture, and sustainable tourism.
