SaltStayz has marked its entry into the leisure travel segment with the launch of its premium ‘Autograph’ property in Rishikesh, one of India’s most sought-after wellness and spiritual destinations.

Previously focused on business travel markets such as New Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Faridabad, and Chandigarh-Mohali, the brand is now expanding its footprint to cater to guests seeking experience-led stays in leisure destinations. SaltStayz Autograph Rishikesh is positioned to offer high-quality accommodation combined with a deeper connection to the destination.

Strategically located, the property provides easy access to prominent landmarks such as Triveni Ghat and Parmarth Niketan Ashram, along with connectivity to iconic spots like Ram Jhula and Lakshman Jhula. Despite its central location, the property is designed to offer a calm and retreat-like environment.

With a strong focus on wellness, the hotel integrates experiences such as yoga sessions, guided spiritual walks, and bicycle tours, allowing guests to explore Rishikesh at a slower, more mindful pace. Dedicated meditation spaces further enhance the holistic experience. The 38-key property also features an all-day dining restaurant, including a pure vegetarian outlet inspired by the legacy of Moti Mahal.

Gaurav Gupta, Co-Founder of SaltStayz, noted that Rishikesh is witnessing a clear shift towards wellness-led travel, with guests increasingly seeking immersive and experience-driven stays. He added that the launch of the Autograph category reflects both evolving consumer preferences and the company’s broader expansion strategy.

The brand highlighted that post-pandemic travel trends have significantly boosted demand for leisure and spiritual tourism, with wellness emerging as a key factor in destination selection. The Rishikesh launch aligns with this shift, offering thoughtfully designed stays at competitive pricing.

Alongside its new Autograph category, SaltStayz’s portfolio includes Select and Premier offerings. Founded in 2022, the Gurugram-based company currently operates 32 properties across India, with 30 more in the pipeline. The Autograph brand is expected to play a central role in its expansion into high-potential leisure destinations.

With this launch, SaltStayz continues to evolve its offering, moving beyond business travel to create experiences that combine comfort, accessibility, and meaningful engagement with destinations.
