Hyatt Hotels Corporation has recently unveiled plans to introduce two new hotels in the vibrant city of Madinah. Through management agreements inked with Knowledge Economic City (KEC), Hyatt is poised to launch Hyatt House Madinah KEC and Hyatt Centric Madinah KEC, with the latter marking the much-anticipated debut of the Hyatt Centric lifestyle brand in the Kingdom.
Javier Águila, group president, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Hyatt, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “We are delighted to collaborate with Knowledge Economic City on plans to bring the Hyatt Centric and Hyatt House brands to the exciting KEC development, enhancing the tourism landscape in Madinah.”
Madinah, as the fourth largest city in Saudi Arabia, holds strategic importance in the country's Vision 2030 and its burgeoning tourism sector. Amin Shaker, Chairman of KEC, emphasized the significance of the partnership, saying, “It is a testament to our shared values of excellence, innovation, and delivering extraordinary guest experiences.”
The KEC development project, boasting a prime location directly connected to Madinah's main roads, signifies a significant milestone in the region's development. Hyatt House Madinah KEC, featuring 446 residential-style rooms, aims to provide travelers with a comfortable “home away from home” experience. Meanwhile, Hyatt Centric Madinah KEC, offering 130 modern rooms and suites, promises to celebrate the character of Madinah through art and design elements.
Mohammad Al Mubarak, Chief Executive Officer of KEC, expressed his pleasure about the collaboration, stating, “It gives me great pleasure to share our collaboration with Hyatt, bringing two new Hyatt branded hotels, Hyatt House Madinah KEC and Hyatt Centric Madinah KEC, to the city.”
The partnership between Hyatt and KEC aligns with the Kingdom's development goals and underscores Hyatt's dedication to expanding its brand footprint in key markets. It also represents a significant step forward in KEC's mission to grow technology and knowledge-driven developments in Madinah, providing unparalleled hospitality to residents and visitors alike.
With these new additions, Hyatt aims to offer more choices to its guests and further contribute to the tourism landscape in Madinah.

The Clarks Hotels & Resorts has expanded its presence in Uttarakhand with the launch of Clarks Inn, Bhowali, its first property in the picturesque Kumaon region. Nestled on the popular route to Nainital, the new hotel offers a tranquil hill retreat for leisure travellers, families, and spiritual visitors.
Surrounded by the serene beauty of the lower Himalayas, Clarks Inn, Bhowali features well-appointed rooms, spacious family suites, and private terraces with breathtaking valley views. The property is ideal for weekend getaways, extended holidays, and group stays, with ample parking space to accommodate buses and larger vehicles — making it particularly convenient for religious groups and devotees.
Strategically located just minutes from Neem Karoli Baba’s Kainchi Dham, Clarks Inn is currently the only branded hotel in close proximity to the temple, offering a trusted stay option for pilgrims. The hotel also provides easy access to local attractions like Sattal, Bhimtal, and Nainital, positioning it as an ideal base to explore the region.
Rashmi Negi (Managing Director) and Darshan Singh Negi (Director) of the property shared,
“We saw a gap in quality hospitality between Kathgodam and Nainital — especially for families and devotees visiting Kainchi Dham. With Clarks Inn, Bhowali, we’ve created a reliable, comfortable and well-connected base that contributes to both tourism and the local community.”
Rahul Deb Banerjee, Chief Operating Officer, The Clarks Hotels & Resorts, added,
“This property in Bhowali aligns perfectly with our vision of expanding into high-demand hill and pilgrimage circuits. We are creating spaces that combine comfort, nature, and accessibility — all rooted in warm Clarks hospitality. Our focus remains on providing enriching experiences for today’s discerning travellers.”
With this launch, Clarks Hotels & Resorts reinforces its commitment to strengthening its footprint across Uttarakhand’s hill and spiritual tourism circuits, delivering a harmonious mix of nature, connectivity, and comfort.
Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) has announced the launch of Ginger Dehradun, expanding its footprint in one of North India's most dynamic hill cities. This marks the arrival of the lean luxe philosophy in Uttarakhand’s capital, offering a perfect blend of comfort, style, and affordability for both leisure and business travellers.
Located close to Dehradun’s tourist hotspots and commercial zones, Ginger Dehradun features 72 thoughtfully designed rooms, a smart meeting room, an all-day diner Qmin, a fully equipped fitness centre, and inviting community spaces ideal for work or relaxation.
Ms. Deepika Rao, Executive Vice President – Hotel Openings & New Businesses, IHCL, shared,
“Ginger Dehradun reflects our focused approach to accelerating growth for the brand in high-potential markets. The mid-scale segment continues to see strong demand driven by rising domestic travel. Dehradun, with its mix of leisure, commercial activity and educational institutions, offers itself as a good market for diverse hospitality brands like Ginger.”
Dehradun, nestled in the picturesque Doon Valley, is a gateway to Mussoorie, Rishikesh, and Haridwar. It's known for attractions like Robber’s Cave and Sahastradhara, along with being home to several prestigious educational institutions, making it a vibrant hub for varied travellers.
With this launch, IHCL further strengthens its growing Ginger portfolio, targeting high-potential urban centres with modern travellers in mind.
