Sarovar Hotels today announced the launch of Vandhara Sarovar Premiere in Patkote, Jim Corbett, a refined nature-led retreat near Jim Corbett National Park, marking the brand’s entry into one of North India’s most evocative leisure destinations. With 73 villas, rooms and suites, the hotel will be an enduring draw for luxury leisure, destination weddings and soulful getaways.
Each villa/room/suite comes with a private balcony and garden-facing or mountain-facing views. With more than 150 hotels across India, Nepal and Africa, this opening aligns with Sarovar Hotels’ wider expansion roadmap, with nearly 80 new hotels in its development pipeline as the brand scales further across key leisure, business and regional markets.
