Strategic Growth & Investment

The brand’s 2025 expansion aligns with its ambitious growth strategy, adding six new hotels, including key properties in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Currently operating 16 properties across six states and 11 cities, the group will boost its inventory beyond 500 rooms. With this expansion, Stone Wood Hotels projects a minimum 10% increase in top-line revenue in 2025, alongside a rise in Average Room Rate (ARR) and Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR).

Stone Wood Hotels will continue leveraging an asset-light model focusing on lease and revenue-share partnerships, ensuring sustainable and flexible growth. The investment for these new properties will be backed by strategic collaborations.

MICE & Wedding Segment: A Key Growth Driver

The Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) sector and destination weddings have emerged as major revenue contributors for the brand. The success of its current 16 properties across six states and 11 cities—boasting over 500 rooms—has further fueled its ambitious expansion roadmap.

In addition to its existing portfolio, the upcoming properties will feature dedicated event spaces, catering to the growing demand for MICE and wedding venues. Stone Wood Hotels is also known for its vibrant F&B concepts and immersive hospitality experiences, making it a preferred choice among travelers seeking unique getaways.

The group is now on course to redefine boutique luxury with personalized experiences, aligning with the growing demand for nature-centric retreats in India.
