IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement with Ananya Group (Prabhukrupa Estates & Properties) to launch a Holiday Inn hotel in Puri, Odisha, set to open in late 2028. This strategic move highlights IHG’s focus on high-growth markets, further expanding its footprint in India. The Holiday Inn Puri will offer 100 rooms with breathtaking sea views, combining modern amenities with the signature Holiday Inn hospitality. Designed to cater to the growing demand for both spiritual and leisure tourism, the hotel will also feature three versatile meeting spaces, including a grand ballroom ideal for MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) events and social gatherings. A key highlight of the property will be the Open Lobby concept, an innovative design that merges work, dining, and relaxation areas into a seamless space, elevating guest experiences. Puri, situated along the Bay of Bengal, is a significant Hindu pilgrimage hub, renowned for the iconic Jagannath Temple and attractions like Chilika Lake and the Sun Temple at Konark. With more than 2 million annual visitors, the city is a melting pot of spirituality and leisure, making it an ideal destination for IHG’s expansion. Sudeep Jain, Managing Director, South West Asia, IHG Hotels & Resorts, shared: "We are excited to partner with Ananya Group to bring the Holiday Inn brand to Puri. The city’s growing appeal for MICE, weddings, and tourism makes it an ideal location for this new hotel." Adding to this, Madhusudan Singhari, Director of Ananya Group, said: "We are delighted to collaborate with IHG to create a landmark destination in Puri, offering world-class hospitality for both domestic and international visitors." The hotel’s prime location will ensure excellent connectivity via road and air, further enhancing its accessibility for travelers. With 46 operational hotels and a pipeline of 58 new properties set to open across India in the next 3-5 years, IHG continues to solidify its position as a leading hospitality brand in the region. The Holiday Inn Puri is poised to become a flagship destination, offering a harmonious blend of comfort, convenience, and cultural experiences.
