Atmosphere Core, a globally recognized name in luxury hospitality, has announced its expansion into the Northeastern states of India with its latest property, The Dhar a Signature Atmosphere Guwahati. This marks the company’s 17th signing and is part of its larger vision to introduce 25 properties by 2025 across India.
In partnership with Meghalaya Infratech Limited, the hospitality brand is set to launch a luxurious resort at the strategic border between Guwahati, Assam, and Meghalaya. The property is expected to open in Q1 2026, offering a blend of corporate elegance and leisure indulgence just 45 minutes from Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport.
This ambitious project aligns with India’s growing focus on Northeast tourism, as the region gains prominence in the country’s economic and infrastructural growth. The resort will be part of the “A SIGNATURE ATMOSPHERE” sub-brand, designed to deliver a world-class experience that caters to business travelers, leisure seekers, and destination event planners.
With 207 keys, the resort will offer deluxe rooms, premium suites, and presidential accommodations, each designed to provide panoramic views of Guwahati’s cityscape, lush tea gardens, and the breathtaking valleys of Northeast India.
A hallmark of Atmosphere Core properties is their exceptional culinary offerings, and The Dhar a Signature Atmosphere Guwahati will be no exception. The resort will feature:
A vibrant all-day dining restaurant with outdoor seating
Multiple specialty restaurants celebrating local flavors and international cuisine
A bakery, café, lounge, and bar, offering a refined selection of gourmet experiences
Guests can also enjoy a range of indoor and outdoor activities designed to provide a multi-sensory leisure experience, blending adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion.
The ELE|NA Spa & Wellness Centre, known for its rejuvenating therapies, will be a standout feature of the resort, offering therapeutic treatments with stunning tea garden views. The landscaped surroundings will create a tranquil atmosphere for those seeking peace and wellness.
For corporate and event travelers, the resort will house state-of-the-art event venues, boardrooms, and expansive lawns, making it an ideal setting for corporate retreats, destination weddings, and large-scale gatherings.
Guwahati, the cultural and economic hub of Assam, is rapidly emerging as a preferred destination for business, tourism, and lifestyle experiences. With its historic temples, scenic landscapes, and strong connectivity to other northeastern states, the city is gaining international recognition.
Reflecting on this expansion, Mr. Souvagya Mohapatra, Managing Director of Atmosphere Core for India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bhutan, expressed his enthusiasm:
"The land of seven sisters has long been a focus for us. Guwahati, as the gateway to the Northeast, is evolving into a key business and tourism hub. Its rich heritage and strategic significance make it an ideal location for this premium resort. We are excited about this collaboration and confident that it will set a new standard in luxury hospitality."
Echoing this sentiment, Mr. N. Dhar, Managing Director of Meghalaya Infratech Limited, stated:
"Our partnership with Atmosphere Core represents a new era of hospitality in Northeast India. Their expertise in luxury accommodations and service excellence aligns perfectly with our vision to create a world-class destination for travelers."
With its strategic location, world-class facilities, and commitment to exceptional guest experiences, The Dhar a Signature Atmosphere Guwahati is poised to become a landmark property in the region. This latest venture reaffirms Atmosphere Core’s dedication to expanding its luxury portfolio in India, catering to both business and leisure travelers with unparalleled hospitality standards.
