Oravel Stays, the company behind OYO Rooms, is set to replicate a similar strategy for its upscale hotel chain, Palette. The company is preparing to introduce self-operated premium hotels under the Palette brand, starting with Morbi.
Morbi, known as India’s ceramic capital, is a key economic hub in Gujarat. The district is home to over 800 tile factories, accounting for 90 percent of India's tile production, with an annual turnover of about INR 50,000 crore.
Oravel’s Palette in Morbi is designed to meet the needs of business travelers. The property boasts 48 spacious rooms and amenities such as a conference room, common spaces, a swimming pool, restaurant, and 24×7 free WiFi, ensuring a comfortable and productive stay. Its proximity to key business hubs and industrial areas further enhances its appeal to corporate guests.
Expressing excitement about the launch, Aditya Sharma, Business Head of Oravel Stays Private Limited, stated, “We are excited to introduce our inaugural self-operated Palette hotel in Gujarat, and Morbi is the perfect city to begin with. Given its flourishing economic scene and expanding business opportunities, Morbi holds strategic importance for us. Our goal is to provide business travelers with a premium hospitality experience, and we eagerly anticipate contributing to Morbi’s growth story. We believe the government’s focus on Morbi will transform it into a thriving hub, and we are thrilled to be part of this exciting journey.”
Palette was initially launched by Oravel Stays with ten hotels across cities like Jaipur, Hyderabad, Digha, Mumbai, Chennai, Manesar, and Bangalore. In an effort to ensure an improved guest experience and service delivery, the company plans to take direct operational control of select Palette hotels in high-growth and promising locations. Oravel Stays aims to inaugurate an additional 12 self-operated Palette hotels by the end of the year.

The Clarks Hotels & Resorts has expanded its presence in Uttarakhand with the launch of Clarks Inn, Bhowali, its first property in the picturesque Kumaon region. Nestled on the popular route to Nainital, the new hotel offers a tranquil hill retreat for leisure travellers, families, and spiritual visitors.
Surrounded by the serene beauty of the lower Himalayas, Clarks Inn, Bhowali features well-appointed rooms, spacious family suites, and private terraces with breathtaking valley views. The property is ideal for weekend getaways, extended holidays, and group stays, with ample parking space to accommodate buses and larger vehicles — making it particularly convenient for religious groups and devotees.
Strategically located just minutes from Neem Karoli Baba’s Kainchi Dham, Clarks Inn is currently the only branded hotel in close proximity to the temple, offering a trusted stay option for pilgrims. The hotel also provides easy access to local attractions like Sattal, Bhimtal, and Nainital, positioning it as an ideal base to explore the region.
Rashmi Negi (Managing Director) and Darshan Singh Negi (Director) of the property shared,
“We saw a gap in quality hospitality between Kathgodam and Nainital — especially for families and devotees visiting Kainchi Dham. With Clarks Inn, Bhowali, we’ve created a reliable, comfortable and well-connected base that contributes to both tourism and the local community.”
Rahul Deb Banerjee, Chief Operating Officer, The Clarks Hotels & Resorts, added,
“This property in Bhowali aligns perfectly with our vision of expanding into high-demand hill and pilgrimage circuits. We are creating spaces that combine comfort, nature, and accessibility — all rooted in warm Clarks hospitality. Our focus remains on providing enriching experiences for today’s discerning travellers.”
With this launch, Clarks Hotels & Resorts reinforces its commitment to strengthening its footprint across Uttarakhand’s hill and spiritual tourism circuits, delivering a harmonious mix of nature, connectivity, and comfort.
Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) has announced the launch of Ginger Dehradun, expanding its footprint in one of North India's most dynamic hill cities. This marks the arrival of the lean luxe philosophy in Uttarakhand’s capital, offering a perfect blend of comfort, style, and affordability for both leisure and business travellers.
Located close to Dehradun’s tourist hotspots and commercial zones, Ginger Dehradun features 72 thoughtfully designed rooms, a smart meeting room, an all-day diner Qmin, a fully equipped fitness centre, and inviting community spaces ideal for work or relaxation.
Ms. Deepika Rao, Executive Vice President – Hotel Openings & New Businesses, IHCL, shared,
“Ginger Dehradun reflects our focused approach to accelerating growth for the brand in high-potential markets. The mid-scale segment continues to see strong demand driven by rising domestic travel. Dehradun, with its mix of leisure, commercial activity and educational institutions, offers itself as a good market for diverse hospitality brands like Ginger.”
Dehradun, nestled in the picturesque Doon Valley, is a gateway to Mussoorie, Rishikesh, and Haridwar. It's known for attractions like Robber’s Cave and Sahastradhara, along with being home to several prestigious educational institutions, making it a vibrant hub for varied travellers.
With this launch, IHCL further strengthens its growing Ginger portfolio, targeting high-potential urban centres with modern travellers in mind.
