Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL), a leader in India's hospitality industry, recently signed an agreement for its 100th Ginger hotel. This new property, featuring 85 rooms, will be located in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, and will bring the Ginger brand’s lean luxe design to the city, aimed at combining comfort with style to serve both business and leisure travelers.

Puneet Chhatwal, IHCL's Managing Director and CEO, expressed excitement about this milestone. He remarked, “A pioneering concept, Ginger’s re-imagination with its lean luxe positioning has revolutionized the hospitality landscape in India. Its successful transformation has enabled the brand to scale and achieve the 100-hotel portfolio milestone. Driven by India’s robust GDP growth and increasing consumer aspirations, the mid-scale segment in the country is poised for significant expansion. Ginger, with its relevancy, straddles all city categories and destinations from metros, state capitals, commercial centers, as well as pilgrimage sites and leisure hot spots. We are delighted to partner with Lekhraj Builders for the 100th Ginger hotel in the country.”

The hotel will be located on Captain Aditya Mishra Marg, in the bustling Indira Nagar area. It will offer amenities such as Ginger's signature Qmin restaurant for all-day dining, a fitness center, and versatile meeting spaces suited for both work and relaxation.

Mr. Rajat Garg, Chairman of Lekhraj Builders, which is partnering with IHCL on this project, shared his enthusiasm, stating, “We're thrilled to join hands with IHCL to introduce Ginger to Lucknow. It will cater to the city’s growing business potential.”
