Strengthening its presence in Uttar Pradesh, Royal Orchid Hotels Ltd (ROHL) has announced the signing of a new upscale property in the fast-growing Gomti Nagar area of Lucknow. This marks ROHL’s second property in the city and its sixth in Uttar Pradesh, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to expanding in key tourism and business destinations.
Lucknow’s Cultural and Strategic Appeal
Lucknow, renowned for its rich cultural heritage, literature, cuisine, and architectural marvels, continues to attract travellers from across the world. Strategically located in the burgeoning Gomti Nagar neighbourhood, this hotel is a quick drive from prominent landmarks like Phoenix Palassio Mall, IIT Lucknow, ISKCON, and Medanta Hospital, making it an ideal location for diverse guest needs.
A High-Priority Market for ROHL
Commenting on the expansion, Arjun Baljee, President of Royal Orchid Hotels Ltd., said, “Uttar Pradesh has led the country in domestic tourist arrivals for three consecutive years, making it a high-priority market for us. And within Lucknow, Gomti Nagar provides us with a future-ready location to create a differentiated upscale experience. We will create a destination that appeals to both domestic and international guests seeking a seamless transition between business and leisure.”
Hotel Features and Amenities
The upcoming hotel will feature 190 elegantly designed rooms and a comprehensive range of facilities with multiple F&B outlets, wellness & beauty spaces, a swimming pool, and game zones for families. For meetings, weddings, and events, there are multiple indoor and alfresco areas within the hotel that can cater to large events across different function types simultaneously.
Strategic Collaboration with REPL
Pradeep Misra, CMD of REPL, shared his enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “Partnering with Royal Orchid Hotels to bring IM Imperial Avenue to life is an exciting milestone for us. Lucknow is evolving as a major urban hub, and this property will deliver a world-class experience, combining ROHL’s expertise in hospitality with our excellence in construction and design.”
Uttar Pradesh’s Growing Tourism Industry
Uttar Pradesh, known for its unparalleled historical, religious, and cultural heritage, continues to strengthen its position on the global tourism map. The ongoing Maha Kumbh 2025 at Prayagraj is another testament to the state’s ability to handle massive events; the sacred pilgrimage is anticipated to bring 40 crore tourists to UP this year.
Scheduled Opening in March 2026
Scheduled to open in March 2026 under a flexi-lease model, this new property from Royal Orchid Hotels is set to disrupt traditional hospitality standards in Lucknow.
