Cygnett Hotels & Resorts, one of India's fastest-growing hospitality chains, has announced its latest expansion in Uttar Pradesh with the signing of Cozzet Kanpur and Cygnett Inn Vrindavan. These strategic additions strengthen the group’s presence in key Tier-II and religious tourism markets, aligning with its larger goal of establishing a 100-hotel portfolio across India.
Cozzet Kanpur, a brownfield project, is scheduled to open by the end of 2025. The hotel will offer 40 well-appointed rooms, two banquet halls with a combined capacity of up to 10,000 guests, a 60-cover all-day dining restaurant, and a lounge bar—making it an ideal venue for weddings, MICE events, and business stays in the industrial capital of North India.
Cygnett Inn Vrindavan is expected to welcome guests by early 2027. Designed for both business and leisure travellers, the property will feature 60 rooms, an 80-cover restaurant, a rooftop swimming pool, a gym, and banquet facilities accommodating 600–800 guests. With this signing, Cygnett’s total inventory in Vrindavan will rise to 100 rooms, following the earlier addition of Cozzet Vrindavan.
“Uttar Pradesh is a critical market in our strategy as we work toward building a 100-hotel network. We plan to launch 10–12 properties across the state in the next 2–3 years,” said Sarbendra Sarkar, Founder & Managing Director, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts.
Both properties will be located near prominent tourist and cultural attractions—Kanpur, known for its industrial strength and historic landmarks, and Vrindavan, the divine city in Braj Bhoomi, renowned for its association with Lord Krishna.
This growth complements Cygnett’s expanding portfolio, which already includes a presence in Ayodhya, further anchoring its position in both spiritual and commercial travel destinations.
Cozzet represents the brand’s smart, value-driven segment, designed for savvy modern travellers, while Cygnett Inn offers full-service comfort and reliability with a midscale focus—each promising warm hospitality and Cygnetture service.

In an era where corporate responsibility and environmental consciousness are more than just buzzwords, Marriott India has taken a bold step forward—transforming words into meaningful, measurable action. On the occasion of World Environment Day 2025, Marriott India proudly announced the achievement of a monumental milestone: 100,000 trees planted across the country.
With a growing portfolio of 150+ hotels, this initiative was more than a one-day campaign—it was a unifying mission. Rooted in the vision of long-term ecological sustainability and inspired by the success of last year’s “Two Trees per Room” program, Marriott India’s latest green stride stands as a compelling testament to how the hospitality industry can be a powerful agent of change.
Last year’s initiative laid the groundwork. With over 32,600 trees planted by 4,900 passionate volunteers, the “Two Trees per Room” drive showed Marriott’s deep-rooted commitment to sustainability. Building on that solid foundation, 2025 witnessed the idea blossom into a national green movement—one that reflects Marriott’s belief that environmental responsibility must be woven into the very fabric of hospitality.
This year, each Marriott hotel in India took ownership of localized tree-planting drives in collaboration with reputable reforestation partners and community leaders. These weren’t symbolic gestures. Trees were planted strategically to revive ecosystems, restore biodiversity, and combat climate change, while also generating employment and awareness at the grassroots level.
“This isn’t just about trees—it’s about legacy,” said a Marriott India spokesperson. “By planting 100,000 trees, we are not only giving back to nature but also nurturing future generations. This initiative is a reflection of our values—of growing responsibly, sustainably, and inclusively.”
Each property embraced the mission with unique fervor. In Bengaluru, for instance, Aloft Bengaluru Whitefield joined the movement with commendable zeal. Under the leadership of General Manager Mr. Hafizullah Baig, 24 spirited volunteers came together to plant 300 trees, reinforcing the belief that local action can lead to national transformation.
“We are proud to be part of a company that not only talks about sustainability but lives it,” Baig shared. “Every sapling we planted today is a promise—for cleaner air, cooler cities, and a healthier planet.”
While the 100,000-tree milestone is momentous, it is far from the finish line for Marriott India. The brand continues to champion a 360-degree approach to sustainability, with initiatives spanning:
Energy-efficient operations using smart automation and green building standards
Waste management systems that reduce, recycle, and repurpose
Responsible sourcing of food and materials that support ethical and eco-conscious suppliers
Local community engagement programs that uplift while educating
Through these collective efforts, Marriott India is not just participating in change—it’s leading it.
Marriott India’s environmental journey is redefining what it means to be a responsible hospitality brand in the 21st century. At a time when climate anxiety is real and urgent, the company’s green vision offers hope, direction, and impact. It’s a reminder that the hospitality sector—so often associated with comfort, luxury, and indulgence—can also be a steward of conservation, compassion, and consciousness.
As the sun set on World Environment Day 2025, tens of thousands of trees stood tall across India—silent sentinels of Marriott’s pledge to protect the planet. A commitment rooted in soil, nourished by intent, and destined to flourish for generations to come.
