Sterling Holiday Resorts has announced the grand opening of Sterling Hibis Vellore, its first resort in Vellore and the ninth property in Tamil Nadu. The 40-key resort, set on a lush 5.3-acre estate just off Tiruvannamalai Road, introduces a unique resort-style escape within city limits, catering to both leisure and business travellers.

Strategically located at the crossroads of pilgrimage, healthcare, education, and commerce, Sterling Hibis Vellore is designed to serve a diverse mix of visitors from devotees at the Golden Temple in Sripuram, families exploring the historic Vellore Fort, medical and academic visitors at CMC and VIT, to corporates seeking retreat-style venues. Guests can also extend their circuits with nearby Sterling Yelagiri and Sterling Arunai Anantha Tiruvannamalai, offering a seamless blend of spiritual, cultural, and leisure experiences.

The property features 36 Classic Rooms and 4 Suites, laid out in a villa-style design that balances modern comfort with open green surroundings. Dining highlights include the Orchid Restaurant, where Arcot Nawabi heritage flavours meet global cuisines, and the Iris Bar, a vibrant lounge offering cocktails and light bites. For wellness and leisure, guests can enjoy a full-service spa, fitness centre, and a 2,500 sq. ft. swimming pool with a kids’ section.

For events and celebrations, Sterling Hibis Vellore offers a Grand Banquet Hall for 150 guests and an expansive party lawn for up to 600 people, making it an attractive choice for weddings, social gatherings, and corporate offsites.

Speaking about the launch, Vikram Lalvani, MD & CEO, Sterling Holiday Resorts, said:

“Sterling Hibis Vellore embodies our vision of offering urban travellers the best of both worlds, a tranquil resort setting within city limits, tailored equally for leisure and business.
