Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchising company, has announced the opening of Ramada by Wyndham Gorakhpur Gorakhnath Mandir Road. This marks Wyndham’s 59th hotel in India and the 48th Ramada by Wyndham in the country, as well as the 7th hotel in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
Located just six kilometers from Gorakhpur Junction Railway Station and 14 kilometers from Mahayogi Gorakhnath Airport, Ramada by Wyndham Gorakhpur features 57 elegantly furnished rooms and suites that offer modern comfort and tranquility.

Additionally, the hotel provides 6,400 sq. ft. of event space that can accommodate up to 350 conference guests or 500 banquet guests.
Gorakhpur is rich in culture and history, known for the famous Gorakhnath Temple, which attracts many pilgrims each year. The city is also home to the Gita Press, a renowned publisher of Hindu religious books. The hotel's strategic location near the Shri Gorakhnath Temple and the city center, as well as its proximity to the Gorakhpur Industrial Development Authority (GIDA) and Hindustan Urvarak & Rasayan Limited (HURL), makes it an ideal choice for both business and leisure travelers. It is situated on National Highway 24, connecting Gorakhpur to Siddharth Nagar/Lumbini in Nepal, the birthplace of Lord Buddha.
India continues to be a key growth region for Wyndham, with 62 hotels currently operating across the country and more than 40 additional hotels in the pipeline. This expansion underscores the ongoing demand and growth in the Indian market.
Dimitris Manikis, President for Europe, Middle East, Eurasia, and Africa at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, commented, “With over 275 hotels across EMEA, Ramada by Wyndham is a flagship brand in our portfolio and is beloved by travelers globally. We are thrilled to launch in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, and continue to expand our presence with five more properties in the pipeline. Uttar Pradesh is a key market for us, with a growing presence in Agra, Ayodhya, Lucknow, and Varanasi. We value our partnership with M/s Saketkunj Landmark Private Limited and are excited to introduce our renowned heritage brand to Gorakhpur.”

Summit Hotels & Resorts is set to expand its Signature Collection with a 17-villa retreat in Lachung, North Sikkim, scheduled to open in December 2026. The upcoming property will strengthen the company's premium hospitality portfolio in the Eastern Himalayas, with an emphasis on local architecture, cultural experiences and the region's natural landscape.
Located at an altitude of approximately 8,600 feet, Lachung is around 118 km from Gangtok and serves as a gateway to destinations including Yumthang Valley, Zero Point and Katao. The retreat will feature 17 villas inspired by traditional Sikkimese architecture, reflecting the area's cultural character and mountain setting.
Beyond accommodation, the property is expected to offer experiences that encourage guests to explore North Sikkim beyond conventional sightseeing. Planned activities include guided village walks, opportunities to discover Bhutia traditions and cuisine, visits to nearby orchards and monasteries, and excursions to alpine valleys. Seasonal experiences such as rhododendron viewing, winter snow excursions and stargazing are also being considered, subject to local conditions.
Commenting on the development, Sumit Mitruka, CEO, Summit Hotels & Resorts, said, “North Sikkim has considerable potential to develop beyond conventional sightseeing-led tourism. Lachung is already an important stop on the Yumthang and Zero Point circuit, but we believe there is an opportunity to encourage travellers to spend more time in the destination itself. With this retreat, we want to introduce a premium stay experience that draws on the region's architecture, culture and natural surroundings. We also see opportunities to work with local communities through employment, sourcing and destination experiences as tourism develops.”
The project comes amid renewed tourism interest in North Sikkim, supported by improved accessibility along the Lachung–Yumthang–Zero Point circuit. Known for its Himalayan scenery, rhododendron forests and traditional Bhutia settlements, Lachung offers opportunities to develop longer, nature-focused stays alongside established sightseeing itineraries.
The retreat will join Summit's Signature Collection, which includes Summit Norbu Ghang in Gangtok and Summit Rungkhung Village Resort in Dirang, Arunachal Pradesh. The collection forms part of the company's wider strategy to develop premium, destination-focused hospitality across the Eastern Himalayas and other leisure markets in India.
With the Lachung project, Summit is looking to combine premium accommodation with local culture and nature-based experiences, while creating opportunities for community participation as tourism in North Sikkim evolves
