IHG partners with AG Group to open new Holiday Inn in Gujarat, India
IHG Hotels & Resorts has entered a management agreement with Atithi Gokul Hotel Inns (AG Group) to establish a new Holiday Inn hotel in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.
This move is part of IHG's strategic expansion in high-potential Indian markets, focusing on key urban, commercial, and leisure centres.
IHG Southwest Asia managing director Sudeep Jain said: "Ahmedabad has emerged as a key destination with robust demand across industrial, commercial, and educational sectors. With our trusted brand and global distribution network, we are confident that the new hotel will be well-positioned to serve the needs of modern travellers in the city, as well as will drive strong returns for the owners.
'India continues to remain a priority market for IHG, globally, and we are on a strong growth trajectory here, driven by our portfolio of well-loved brands. The Holiday Inn brand family has seen phenomenal success in the market and will continue to play a key role in our growth ambitions for India. "
With more than 1,200 Holiday Inn hotels worldwide, the brand continues to cater to both business and leisure travellers.
Set to launch by the third quarter of 2028, the upcoming 150-room hotel will be a component of Highline, a mixed-use development that includes residential and commercial spaces.
Available facilities include multiple dining options, a ballroom, a fitness centre, a swimming pool, and parking.
AG Group managing director Vikram Bharvad said: "With a strong demand in the hospitality industry in Ahmedabad, we are pleased to partner with IHG Hotels & Resorts to bring the globally recognised Holiday Inn brand to Ahmedabad.
'With strategic location, quality infrastructure, and growing commercial importance, the city offers strong potential for branded hospitality. We look forward to delivering a memorable stay experience backed by IHG's expertise and service excellence."
Located along the Sarkhej–Gandhinagar Highway, the hotel will offer convenient access to various institutions and corporate hubs.
Ahmedabad is India's second-largest cotton producer, a major exporter of gems and jewellery, and the nation's foremost denim supplier.
IHG's current Indian portfolio includes 50 hotels across six brands, with a pipeline of 63 hotels set to open in the next three to five years.
Additionally, IHG unveiled a similar management agreement with Peachery to develop a Holiday Inn hotel in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, also slated to open in 2028.
