IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement with DC Constructions, the construction arm of Urban Oasis Hospitality, to develop Holiday Inn Express Siliguri Bagdogra Airport.
The 100-room greenfield hotel is scheduled to open in 2028, expanding IHG’s presence in eastern India and strengthening the brand’s reach across key travel routes.
Located near Bagdogra International Airport, the hotel will cater to business and transit travellers in Siliguri. The city serves as a commercial hub in West Bengal and a gateway to the Eastern Himalayas, northeast India, and the borders of Nepal, Bangladesh, and Bhutan.
Holiday Inn Express Siliguri Bagdogra Airport joins 17 hotels already open in India, with another 21 under development.
“This signing exemplifies the growth momentum of our Holiday Inn Express brand in India, which continues to be a top choice for guests seeking consistent, modern comfort and for owners looking for a proven, high-return investment,” said Sudeep Jain, managing director, South West Asia, IHG Hotels & Resorts.
“Siliguri’s growing importance as both a travel hub and commercial destination makes this project particularly exciting for us. This collaboration will not only elevate the city’s hospitality landscape with international standards but also support the local economy by attracting both business and leisure travellers to the region,” added Avinash Tiwari, managing director, DC Constructions.
IHG currently operates 51 hotels across six brands in India — Six Senses, InterContinental Hotels and Resorts, Crowne Plaza, voco Hotels, Holiday Inn Resort, and Holiday Inn Express — and has 72 more in the pipeline, expected to open within the next three to five years.
