Narwar Lakefront Resort, a luxury lakeside retreat in Shivpuri on the Sindh River in Madhya Pradesh, has announced a major expansion with the opening of twenty-one (21) additional lakefront cottages and rooms. Nestled close to Madhav Tiger Reserve, the resort is known for its scenic waterfront stays, modern hospitality, and immersive nature, wildlife, and heritage experiences.

With this latest addition, Narwar Lakefront Resort now offers a total of 41 keys, including Premium Rooms, Cottages, and Villas. The expansion nearly doubles the resort’s accommodation capacity and marks an important step in its journey towards becoming one of Central India’s most compelling destination-led hospitality experiences.

The increased inventory significantly strengthens the resort’s ability to host destination weddings, curated retreats, corporate offsites, and extended leisure stays. It also positions Narwar Lakefront Resort as a preferred venue for experiential travel and large-format celebrations in and around Shivpuri.

Navneet Sharma, CEO and MD, Lion Group, said, “The addition of 41 rooms allows us to welcome larger groups without compromising the personalised environment our guests truly value. This expansion also showcases our commitment to building Narwar into a distinctive destination rooted in nature, heritage, and meaningful hospitality”.

The newly added rooms are thoughtfully designed with warm wooden flooring, soft ambient lighting, and refined modern furnishings. Contemporary interiors blend seamlessly with serene natural surroundings, creating a calm and premium living space. Each room opens into a private balcony sit-out through expansive glass doors, offering views of lush greenery and landscaped pathways, ideal for peaceful mornings and relaxed evenings.

Designed with both comfort and functionality in mind, the rooms feature plush king-size beds with premium linen, dedicated seating areas, work desks, and carefully curated in-room amenities to elevate the overall stay experience.

Set against the tranquil waters and historic landscape of Madikheda Dam on the Sindh River in Shivpuri (MP), the expansion reflects the growing demand for immersive, nature-driven luxury escapes, including Madhav National Park, which is located within easy accessible distance of key urban centres. While offering elevated comfort, contemporary interiors, and expansive views, the resort continues to preserve the intimate and serene character that defines its guest experience.

“Our focus has always been on creating a destination rather than simply adding inventory. The expanded capacity enables us to curate larger celebrations, wellness-led stays, and experiential programming while maintaining the quality standards and attention to detail that define the Narwar Lakefront experience", Navneet Sharma further adds.

Beyond enhancing guest offerings, the expansion is also expected to contribute positively to the local tourism ecosystem by generating employment, strengthening vendor partnerships, and positioning Narwar as an emerging hub for leisure, heritage, and destination events in Madhya Pradesh.

Spread across seven acres, the resort offers a range of key amenities including spacious lake-view and pet-friendly cottages, multiple dining options such as Boat Club Café, Windmill Café, and Sapor restaurant, a swimming pool, a fitness center, and a dedicated kids' play area.

A memorable hotel stay begins with restful sleep. King Koil, one of the world’s most trusted hospitality mattress brands, helps hotels deliver consistent comfort backed by more than a century of global bedding expertise. With millions of hotel rooms furnished worldwide, the brand is built to meet the expectations of guests, GMs, and housekeeping teams alike. Through Palaniappa electronics, hotels can access these reliable and long-lasting sleep solutions.

King Koil mattresses are designed to provide proper back support, pressure relief, and undisturbed sleep. In simple terms, guests can sleep peacefully without tossing, turning, or being disturbed by movement from the other side of the bed. Advanced spring systems and carefully layered comfort materials help absorb motion, reduce noise, and maintain shape even after years of use. For guests, this means waking up refreshed. For hotels, it leads to stronger reviews and repeat bookings.

Unlike retail mattresses meant for homes, King Koil hospitality mattresses are built for high-occupancy usage. They are designed to retain firmness and comfort over a long life cycle, helping hotels reduce replacement frequency and overall ownership costs. With durable construction, fire-retardant fabrics, and dependable warranties, they are suitable for business, premium, and luxury properties.

Rollaway beds are often an area where guest expectations fall short. King Koil addresses this by offering the same comfort-grade mattress used on regular beds for its rollaway beds as well. This ensures that extra guests receive the same level of comfort, avoiding dissatisfaction. The rollaway units are sturdy, easy to handle, and suitable for repeated use without compromising on sleep quality.

A good mattress also needs a strong foundation. King Koil platform bed bases are built to provide a stable and noise-free base that enhances mattress life and sleep quality. Made with durable materials and precise sizing, they support housekeeping efficiency during cleaning and room turnover while reducing wear and tear.

Each King Koil mattress is customized according to the exact measurements provided by architects or interior designers. This ensures a perfect fit with bed frames and room layouts, avoiding gaps or last-minute adjustments and maintaining brand standards.

Many King Koil models are designed for one-side usage, reducing the need for frequent flipping. This makes daily operations easier for housekeeping teams, lowers physical strain, and helps rooms remain guest-ready at all times. For management teams, this translates into smoother operations and predictable maintenance cycles.

With earning of valuable customers and diverse brands through providing best in class products, Palaniappa electronics is the name of trust built by long years in business, delivering quality products, state of the art technology for ever evolving hospitality, and on time assistance and delivery.

For property owners, King Koil represents a long-term investment in durability and brand reputation. For GMs, it supports improved guest satisfaction scores. For executive housekeepers, it offers practicality and ease of management.

King Koil does not simply provide mattresses; it delivers dependable sleep experiences that guests remember, and Palaniappa electronics continues to bring such trusted solutions to the hospitality industry.
