Cygnett Hotels & Resorts has announced the signing of Cozzet Greater Noida, under its value-driven brand Cozzet, further strengthening the group’s presence in North India’s fast-growing business and institutional corridor.

Designed to cater to business and short-stay travellers, Cozzet Greater Noida will feature 50 thoughtfully planned rooms offering a balanced blend of comfort and functionality, aligned with the brand’s philosophy of “Smart, Safe & Sensible.” The hotel will also offer 2,500 sq. ft. of banquet and meeting space suitable for corporate meetings, social gatherings, and small events. Additional facilities include an all-day dining restaurant serving contemporary Indian flavours alongside popular global favourites, as well as a well-equipped fitness centre catering to the wellness needs of modern travellers.

Strategically located, the property is just 10 minutes from the Greater Noida Expo Mart and enjoys seamless connectivity to the Noida–Greater Noida Expressway and Knowledge Park I, II, and III. This prime location positions the hotel to attract corporate travellers, exhibitors, consultants, and professionals visiting Greater Noida for short- and mid-term business engagements.

Commenting on the signing, Mr. Sarbendra Sarkar, Founder & Managing Director, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts, said, “The economy and value hotel sector continues to be a major growth driver in the Indian hospitality industry. Through Cozzet, our value hotel brand, we aim to capitalise on the rising demand for well-located, efficiently run hotels that deliver assured branded services at reasonable prices. The signing of Cozzet Greater Noida reflects our focused and planned development strategy across key business centres.”

Economy, budget, and value hotels together account for approximately 29 percent of the existing room inventory in India, with the midscale and economy segments collectively outperforming the luxury segment. This clearly highlights the pivotal role played by budget and value hospitality in the country’s growth story. Aligned with this market reality, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts continues to expand the Cozzet brand, with upcoming properties planned in destinations such as Ayodhya, Prayagraj, Amritsar, Hyderabad, and several other high-potential markets across India.

The Indian economy hotel market is estimated to be close to USD 6 billion, underlining its strong growth potential. The addition of Cozzet Greater Noida further reinforces Cygnett Hotels & Resorts’ commitment to strengthening its value portfolio in high-demand locations across the country.
