Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL), India’s largest hospitality company, has announced the signing of a Gateway Hotel and Convention Centre in Kanamangala, Devanahalli, near Kempegowda International Airport, Karnataka. This will be a greenfield project, marking another step in the company’s expansion in North Bengaluru.

Speaking on the development, Ms. Suma Venkatesh, Executive Vice President – Real Estate & Development, IHCL, said, “Bengaluru is widely recognised as one of India’s fastest-growing cities, driven by a strong business ecosystem and sustained infrastructure development. With the rapid expansion around the airport, North Bengaluru has emerged as a significant growth corridor, and this signing aligns with our strategy to build scale in the micro-market addressing the rising demand from corporate and MICE segments. We are delighted to partner with Hombale Group for this project.”

The upcoming 300-key Gateway Hotel and Convention Centre in Kanamangala, Devanahalli, will feature an all-day dining restaurant, a bar, a specialty restaurant, and a lounge. Guests will also have access to a fully equipped gym and a swimming pool, offering a comfortable stay experience.

As a convention centre, the property will include spacious and flexible banquet and meeting spaces. The largest banquet hall will span over 16,000 sq. ft., making it suitable for large conferences, corporate gatherings, and social events.

Ms. Shailaja Vijay Kiragandur of Hombale Group said, “We are happy to partner with IHCL to bring the Gateway brand to North Bengaluru aligning with the region’s growth trajectory.”

Bengaluru, often referred to as the Silicon Valley of India, continues to grow as a major hub for IT, biotechnology, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing. The steady development around the airport region has made North Bengaluru an important zone for hospitality growth.

With this addition, IHCL will expand its presence in the city to 20 hotels, including 11 currently under development.

Hombale Group, the owning company, is engaged in both construction and film production. The group has completed over 10 million sq. ft. of construction across various state and central Government projects. Hombale Films, founded by Mr. Vijay Kiragandur in 2014, is also recognised as one of the leading film production houses in South India.
