The resort will cater to the needs of leisure travelers, corporate retreats and social MICE including weddings from guests seeking tranquility and natural beauty, once opened. In addition to an all-day dining restaurant, Holiday Inn Resort Kasauli will feature a lobby lounge and a bar. For those looking to unwind, the resort will provide access to a well-equipped gymnasium and a swimming pool. Holiday Inn Resort Kasauli will also feature a 2,300-square-meter meeting room.
