Marking the fifth voco hotel in India and the first in the state of Punjab, voco Amritsar Airport signifies the brand’s remarkable growth trajectory since its debut in India earlier this year and expansion across markets such as Jim Corbett, Gurugram, Mumbai, and Goa. The rapid expansion aligns with IHG’s ambitious regional growth strategy for the premium brand.
Amritsar, a vibrant city in the north Indian state of Punjab, is one of India’s fastest-growing and busiest urban centres. The city’s rich cultural heritage and the presence of the Golden Temple, one of Sikhism’s holiest shrines which attracts over 100,000 visitors daily, make it a significant destination for religious and leisure travelers alike.
Strategically located within proximity to the airport, voco Amritsar Airport will offer connectivity to major cities across India. Additionally, the hotel will be easily accessible from commercial and residential areas of Amritsar.
Once opened, voco Amritsar Airport will aptly cater to the demands for social gatherings and MICE with an 805-meter square of meeting space spread across five venues including a ballroom. The hotel will also feature three F&B outlets, an outdoor pool, a rejuvenating spa, and a well-equipped gym for guests looking to unwind.
Commenting on the signing, Sudeep Jain, Managing Director, South West Asia, IHG Hotels & Resorts said, “We are thrilled to expand our premium offering in India and partner with A.R Resorts & Hotels Pvt Ltd to debut the brand in Punjab. Amritsar is one of the prime tourist destinations in the Punjab belt and there is a constant demand for quality branded accommodations. We are confident that once opened, voco Amritsar airport will cater to the needs of discerning travellers seeking a modern and comfortable hospitality experience.
He added, “We recognize the growing potential of secondary markets in India and are committed to strategically expanding the presence of our global brands in partnership with the right partners in the country”.
Gulsahil Singh, Managing Director, A.R Resorts & Hotels Pvt Ltd added, “We are delighted to partner with an internationally and locally trusted hospitality brand like IHG Hotels & Resorts to debut the voco brand in Punjab, and offer upscale experiences to guests. We are confident that the hotel’s prime location combined with premium facilities, voco Amritsar Airport is set to become an ideal choice for a diverse set of travellers visiting the city from across the globe.”
