Holiday Inn, one of the world’s most recognised and trusted hotel brands, continues to respond to evolving travel needs and strong owner demand. In India, the brand is building momentum across key destinations, supported by a growing portfolio and IHG’s broader growth ambitions in the country.
One of India’s emerging administrative and commercial centres, Naya Raipur is Chhattisgarh’s planned capital and is expanding rapidly, supported by growing government, institutional, commercial and infrastructure activity. Holiday Inn Raipur will be located in Sector 24, Naya Raipur (Nava Raipur Atal Nagar), close to key government complexes, public sector units, upcoming major hospitals and growing commercial activity. Its proximity to Mantralaya and Vidhan Sabha, as well as Swami Vivekananda Airport, will provide convenient access for government delegations, corporate travellers and visitors to the city.
Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh, is evolving from an industrial Tier-2 market into a wider commercial, administrative and emerging technology hub. Naya Raipur is adding demand through improved connectivity, civic infrastructure, education, IT and lifestyle-led developments. The market is also seeing activity across proposed data centre and IT developments, established educational institutions and upcoming tourism and entertainment assets, further supporting the need for quality branded accommodation.
Well positioned to serve this growing demand, Holiday Inn Raipur will offer 156 rooms and suites, including 16 suites, alongside three dining venues comprising a 117-seat all-day dining restaurant, a 40-seat bar and a 40-seat lobby lounge. The hotel will also feature approximately 942 sqm of meeting and event space across four venues, including a 715 sqm divisible ballroom, as well as a swimming pool, fitness centre and parking. Facilities are indicative and subject to design development and IHG brand standards.
Holiday Inn Raipur will bring the brand’s warm, welcoming and reliable hospitality to a market shaped by business, government, events and leisure travel. The hotel’s Open Lobby concept will provide an inviting space for guests to work, meet and relax, complemented by its dining, meeting and leisure facilities. As part of IHG Hotels & Resorts, the hotel will also benefit from IHG’s global distribution, digital platforms and IHG One Rewards loyalty programme, extending the reach of the hotel and connecting it to IHG’s network.
The signing of Holiday Inn Raipur marks another step in IHG’s expansion journey in India, reinforcing its strategy of bringing globally recognised brands to high-potential destinations and expanding its presence across key travel markets in the country.
IHG® currently has 53 open hotels operating across seven brands in India, including Six Senses, InterContinental Hotels and Resorts®, Vignette Collection, Crowne Plaza®, voco™ Hotels, Holiday Inn Resort® and Holiday Inn Express®, and a strong pipeline of 110 hotels due to open in the next 3-5 years.
