Lemon Tree Hotels, a significant player in the Indian hospitality industry, has announced the signing of a new property in Kundapura, Karnataka. This move marks a further expansion of the company's presence in India. The hotel, aptly named Lemon Tree Hotel, Kundapura, is set to open its doors by fiscal year 2027.

The upcoming property promises an array of amenities, including 80 rooms, various dining options, a swimming pool, a fitness center, a meeting room, and other essential public spaces. Managed by Carnation Hotels, the wholly owned subsidiary and management arm of Lemon Tree Hotels, this establishment is poised to offer a unique hospitality experience.

Carnation Hotels CEO Mahesh Aiyer expressed excitement over this expansion in Karnataka. "Religious tourism is a rapidly growing segment in India, and we are keen to tap into this potential," Aiyer stated. The Kundapura hotel will join the company's existing eight hotels and resorts in the state, highlighting its commitment to broadening its footprint in the region.

Strategically located, the Lemon Tree Hotel in Kundapura is situated about 90km from Mangalore International Airport and 38km from the Udupi railway station. The hotel's location offers excellent connectivity through both public and private transport, and it is also close to various rivers and the Arabian Sea.
