This launch marks the company’s third hotel in the state, strategically located just 550 meters from the revered Guruvayur Temple, South Nada. Designed to meet the increasing demand for comfortable and convenient stays, the hotel aims to elevate spiritual tourism in the region.

The grand inauguration ceremony was attended by prominent dignitaries, including Shri. M B Rajesh, Minister for Local Self Governments, Rural Development, and Excise; Shri. N K Akbar, MLA of Guruvayur Constituency; Shri.
