LaRiSa Hotels and Resorts has announced the signing of a new hotel management agreement in Palampur, nestled in the scenic Kangra Valley of Himachal Pradesh. The brand already operates four acclaimed properties in the state, and this marks its fifth: LaRiSa Resort, Palampur.

A Nature-Driven, Boutique Retreat

Set across 2.5 acres, the upcoming resort is designed to be an immersive natural retreat. A herb garden, fruit-bearing trees, and a tranquil Yin-Yang-inspired fish pond offer guests a rich sensory experience that aligns with LaRiSa’s farm-to-table and wellness philosophy.

Luxury Meets Local Charm

The resort will feature 20 spacious rooms and suites ranging from 400 to 850 sq. ft., each with balconies that offer panoramic views of either the mountains or cityscape. The facilities include an infinity pool overlooking the Dhauladhar range, a restaurant, bar, lounge, and a full-service spa with steam and shower rooms.

Boosting Tourism in Palampur

Speaking on the development, Priya Thakur, Director of LaRiSa Hotels and Resorts, noted Palampur’s rising popularity due to its cool climate, natural beauty, pilgrimage sites, and adventure activities such as hiking and paragliding. “This resort marks a strategic expansion in a fast-emerging destination,” she added.

A Promising Partnership with Grassmere Resorts

This new venture is in partnership with the Sandhu Family, promoters of Grassmere Resorts. Achint Kaur Sandhu, Partner at Grassmere, stated, “We aim to redefine luxury experiences in Palampur with this collaboration, offering something the market has long awaited.”
