Royal Orchid Hotels Ltd. (ROHL), a leading hospitality chain in India, has expanded its religious tourism portfolio by launching Regenta Dwarka in Gujarat. This new property marks a milestone, increasing ROHL's footprint in the state to 13 hotels.

Regenta Dwarka is strategically located just five minutes from the renowned Dwarkadhish Temple, a major pilgrimage site. The hotel features 52 tastefully designed rooms and suites equipped with modern amenities, ensuring a comfortable stay. Guests can indulge in diverse culinary offerings at the all-day diner, "Amritam," which serves both local Gujarati dishes and international cuisines. The live "Flambé Trolley" dosa-making experience is a standout feature, adding an interactive touch to dining.

In addition to leisure, the hotel caters to business travelers with its fully equipped business center and a gym boasting panoramic views of Shivrajpur Beach and the Dwarkadhish Temple.

Dwarka, situated on Gujarat's western coast, holds immense cultural and spiritual importance as the ancient kingdom of Lord Krishna. The city attracts millions of devotees annually to its iconic Shree Dwarkadhish Temple. Beyond its religious significance, Dwarka enchants visitors with its scenic landscapes and historical landmarks, making it a hub for both spiritual and leisure travelers.

Commenting on the launch, Chander K. Baljee, Chairman and Managing Director of Royal Orchid Hotels Ltd., said, “Strengthening our presence in Dwarka, a city celebrated for its tremendous spiritual and cultural importance, is an incredibly momentous occasion for us. Expanding our spiritual portfolio with the inauguration of our Dwarka property marks a significant turning point in our business path.”

Baljee highlighted the growing trend of spiritual tourism as a reflection of global interest in holistic wellness and cultural immersion. The hotel’s location, close to Jamnagar and Porbandar Airports and key attractions like Nageshwar Temple, Rukmini Temple, and Shivrajpur Beach, makes it a convenient choice for travelers.

The launch of Regenta Dwarka aligns with ROHL's strategy to establish a strong presence in India’s key religious destinations, catering to the needs of leisure, spiritual, and business travelers alike.
