The Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL), South Asia’s leading hospitality company, has signed an agreement to establish a new resort under its Gateway brand in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. This marks IHCL's fourth hotel project in Ayodhya, highlighting its commitment to meeting the growing demand for quality hospitality in India’s emerging spiritual tourism market. Set on 1.56 acres, the upcoming resort aims to offer both luxury and a cultural experience, strategically located to cater to Ayodhya’s increasing number of visitors.
Suma Venkatesh, Executive Vice President of Real Estate and Development at IHCL, expressed optimism about the project’s impact, noting Ayodhya’s rapid infrastructure development and growth as a key spiritual destination. "Ayodhya is fast becoming a prominent spot on India’s spiritual circuit. This partnership strengthens our footprint in an emerging market that holds tremendous promise for the tourism sector," she said. The project will be executed in partnership with the LD Ladhani Group, IHCL's longtime collaborators.
The 150-key Gateway Ayodhya resort will cater to both pilgrims and travelers seeking a culturally immersive experience. Facilities will include an all-day dining restaurant, a specialty restaurant, and a bar, along with wellness amenities such as a swimming pool, fitness center, and holistic spa. Event spaces, including a spacious banquet hall and meeting rooms, will be available to host both small gatherings and large events.
"We are thrilled to deepen our partnership with IHCL," said Naresh Ladhani, Director of LD Ladhani Group. “As Ayodhya transforms into a world-class spiritual hub, we are excited to offer visitors hospitality that aligns with the city’s evolving identity.”
Ayodhya, a revered site for millions, is attracting an influx of visitors due to its historic and religious significance. This new resort aligns with IHCL’s strategy to tap into the spiritual tourism sector, which draws millions of domestic and international tourists every year. With the addition of this hotel, IHCL will operate 29 hotels in Uttar Pradesh, including 16 that are currently under development.

As Goa transforms into a lush green paradise during the monsoon, Ronil Goa – A JdV by Hyatt Hotel is inviting travellers to discover a different side of the destination through its "Beyond the Room" philosophy. Positioned in the heart of North Goa, the lifestyle boutique resort is encouraging guests to embrace slower days, meaningful experiences, and the simple pleasures that define the state's green season.
While Goa is often associated with bustling beaches and peak-season energy, the monsoon months offer a more relaxed and authentic experience. With fewer crowds, cooler weather, and landscapes painted in vibrant shades of green, the season creates the perfect backdrop for travellers seeking a refreshing escape.
Located along the popular Calangute-Baga Road, Ronil Goa has designed its monsoon offering around comfort, connection, and unhurried experiences. Rather than focusing solely on accommodation, the hotel extends its hospitality through thoughtfully curated spaces, wellness experiences, dining concepts, and social interactions that encourage guests to immerse themselves in the destination.
The experience begins with a warm welcome at Patrão's, where guests are greeted with a signature arrival shot. Throughout the stay, visitors can choose between the lively atmosphere of the Hub Pool, complete with a swim-up bar, or the more relaxed setting of the Tranquil Pool, inspired by Art Deco aesthetics and designed for peaceful moments of relaxation.
For guests looking to unwind further, The Spa at Ronil Goa offers a selection of therapies aimed at helping travellers recharge while enjoying the soothing ambience created by the monsoon season.
Dining remains a key part of the resort experience. Mornings begin with leisurely breakfasts at Ronil Bistro, while the all-day menu features a blend of comfort food and contemporary favourites. Guests can enjoy wood-fired pizzas, grilled specialities, and a variety of dishes designed to complement relaxed holiday moods. Whether gathering for a casual meal, enjoying a quiet drink, or spending an evening with friends, the hotel's dining venues are designed to encourage social connections and memorable moments.
As the day transitions into evening, the atmosphere takes on a more vibrant character. Live music, cocktails, karaoke sessions at The Loft, and poolside gatherings create opportunities for guests to relax and connect in an informal setting. The hotel's rooms and suites, many featuring private balconies and interconnecting options, cater equally well to couples, families, and groups of friends.
Adding further value to the monsoon experience, the resort is offering an exclusive World of Hyatt Member Bed and Breakfast package available through Hyatt's official channels. The offer includes daily breakfast, 20 percent savings on food and soft beverages across hotel venues, 10 percent savings on alcohol, and 15 percent savings on spa rituals lasting 60 minutes or longer.
The package has been designed to encourage guests to make the most of their stay, whether through culinary experiences, wellness treatments, or simply spending additional time enjoying the relaxed pace of the season.
Originally established in 1987 as Ronil Beach Resort, the property entered a new chapter in December 2023 when it was reintroduced as Ronil Goa under Hyatt's lifestyle-focused JdV by Hyatt brand. Today, the resort features 135 rooms with private balconies, Indo-Portuguese-inspired design elements, wellness facilities, multiple dining venues, and vibrant social spaces that reflect the warmth and character of Goan hospitality.
As monsoon travel continues to gain popularity among travellers seeking quieter and more immersive experiences, Ronil Goa aims to position itself as a destination where guests can enjoy Goa at a slower pace, focusing on meaningful moments rather than packed itineraries.

The Anam Cam Ranh has introduced a unique immersive wellness experience titled “From Husk to Health,” allowing guests to witness and participate in coconut harvesting directly within the resort grounds.
Unlike conventional luxury hospitality experiences where beverages are prepared behind a bar, the resort brings the origin of the drink into view, starting from the coconut trees themselves.
Held every Thursday from 10–11 am at the entrance of the resort’s wellness and recreation precinct, the experience sees gardeners climb coconut palms to harvest mature coconuts in front of guests. Visitors are then guided through the process of trimming, opening, and understanding different stages of coconut growth.
Guests are introduced to how coconuts mature, how ripeness affects flavour and texture, and why younger coconuts tend to produce sweeter water while mature ones offer richer flesh. The freshly opened coconuts are served immediately, offering naturally hydrating water rich in electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium, along with nutrient-dense coconut meat.
Speaking about the initiative, Laurent Myter, Group General Manager of The Anam Group, said, “A freshly harvested coconut, in my opinion, resonates more than a glass of champagne. We have received great feedback from our guests about this simple yet authentic experience. Learning the story behind the humble coconut further connects you to Vietnam’s remarkable landscape.”
The experience is part of the resort’s broader wellness and recreation ecosystem, which includes an organic farm, mini-golf course, sports facilities, and curated farm-to-table dining experiences.
Ingredients from the resort’s farm are actively integrated into its culinary offerings across restaurants, with herbs, vegetables, and fruits used in both Vietnamese and international dishes, as well as in signature cocktails.
The initiative reflects The Anam Cam Ranh’s growing focus on immersive, nature-connected luxury experiences that blend wellness, education, and sustainability within hospitality
