Dehradun is quickly rising as one of India’s most attractive mid-size markets for hospitality expansion, blending spiritual tourism, corporate transit, wellness travel, and educational traffic. Its proximity to Mussoorie, Rishikesh, and Haridwar, combined with the upcoming Delhi-Dehradun Expressway, positions it as a high-growth zone for hotel operators and investors alike.

With travel time from Delhi expected to reduce to just 2.5 hours upon the expressway’s completion, the rebranding of Hotel Solitaire into Pride Premier, Dehradun is a timely move designed to capitalise on growing demand from both domestic and inbound segments.

A High-Potential Asset, Reimagined

Strategically located on the Haridwar Bypass Highway, the property spans two acres and offers a resort-like ambience designed to attract both leisure travellers and business guests.

Property Highlights Include

• 65 spacious, well-appointed rooms
• A dramatic atrium-style lobby
• Modern gym, spa, and outdoor pool
• Expansive banqueting and conference spaces
• A 12,000 sq. ft. event lawn
• 80-cover all-day restaurant and bar
• 30-cover tea lounge for informal gatherings
• Ample parking and EV-charging facilities

Seamless Regional Connectivity

This property boasts excellent regional accessibility:
• 24 km from Jolly Grant Airport
• 7 km from Dehradun Railway Station
• 4 km from the soon-to-open Delhi-Dehradun Expressway
• 36–48 km from Mussoorie, Haridwar, and Rishikesh
The launch coincides with the expressway becoming operational in June 2025, enhancing the property’s appeal for weekend getaways, destination weddings, and MICE travel.
