IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement with Mac View Infrabiz to develop Holiday Inn Mandi in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.
The 100-room hotel will expand IHG’s presence in northern India and strengthen its Holiday Inn portfolio in the country.
Located in Mandi on the Chandigarh-Manali corridor, the hotel is positioned to serve business, leisure and transit travellers travelling between the National Capital Region and key destinations in Himachal Pradesh. The city also serves as an administrative and commercial centre for the region.
The property will feature 100 guestrooms and suites, three food and beverage outlets, and meeting and event facilities including a ballroom.
According to IHG, the project forms part of its strategy to expand in emerging commercial and transit markets supported by growing travel demand and infrastructure development.
Across the country, IHG has 52 operating hotels under seven brands, including Six Senses, InterContinental, Vignette Collection, Crowne Plaza, voco, Holiday Inn Resort and Holiday Inn Express. The company also has 98 hotels in development.
Sudeep Jain, managing director, South West Asia, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “We continue to see strong opportunities to expand our presence across emerging destinations in India, supported by improving infrastructure and growing travel demand.
“The signing of Holiday Inn Mandi marks an important step in strengthening our footprint in Himachal Pradesh, as we bring globally recognised brands to high-potential commercial and transit markets.”
