Pride Hotels Group has announced two strategic signings in Gujarat—Pride Elite Gandhinagar and Biznotel by Pride Surat—further cementing its presence in western India. These additions reflect the Group’s ongoing expansion plans and elevate its hotel count in Gujarat to 6 under the Biznotel brand and 4 under the Elite brand.

Pride Elite Gandhinagar, developed in collaboration with the Plutus Group, brings 70 elegantly designed rooms, over 10,000 sq. ft. of adaptable banquet space, and two signature dining experiences to the state capital. Strategically located near the Mahatma Mandir Convention Centre, the property aims to cater to a growing demand from exhibitions, trade fairs, and government conventions.

Located in one of India’s leading hubs for diamonds and textiles, the property is expected to serve the booming demand from MSMEs and corporate gatherings in the region.

“Both Gandhinagar and Surat represent tremendous opportunities driven by trade activity and business tourism.”

Mr. Koustuva Mukherjee, AVP – Gujarat Region, added,

“These new signings in two distinctly thriving economic corridors mark an exciting chapter for our West Zone portfolio. Gandhinagar’s positioning as a state capital and Surat’s strength in MSME exports align perfectly with our brand strategy.”

With these additions, Pride Hotels Group now operates over 60 hotels (with 20 more in the pipeline) and more than 5,500 rooms (plus 2,000 upcoming) across India. With brands like Pride Plaza, Pride Premier, Pride Elite, and Biznotel, the Group continues to cater to a wide range of travelers—from upscale urban visitors to boutique leisure seekers and mid-scale business clients.
