Lords Hotels & Resorts Strengthens Karnataka Presence

Lords Hotels & Resorts has announced its strategic expansion into Karnataka with the launch of two new leisure destinations in Shivamogga. Located in Muduba and Sagara, the new properties mark a significant step in the brand’s focus on emerging, nature-led travel destinations across India.

Positioning in Emerging Leisure Markets

The expansion reflects the brand’s broader strategy to tap into offbeat and high-potential tourism circuits. Shivamogga, known for its rich biodiversity and scenic landscapes, offers an ideal setting for experiential travel, aligning with Lords’ “True Value Hospitality” philosophy.

Design Philosophy and Guest Experience

Both resorts are nestled in the Western Ghats and are designed to offer a harmonious blend of comfort and nature. The properties integrate local culture, regional cuisine, and immersive outdoor experiences, allowing guests to connect with the destination while enjoying modern amenities.

Lords Riverside Resort, Muduba

Spread across approximately 18 acres along the Tunga river, Lords Riverside Resort offers river-view and forest-view accommodations.

Guests can dine at Kali Mirch, the in-house spice café serving a mix of global and regional cuisines. The property emphasizes nature-led experiences, including wildlife spotting and farm visits featuring crops such as betel nut, coffee, and black pepper. The resort is positioned as a tranquil escape for families and leisure travellers seeking immersive stays.

Lords Sahyadri Resort, Sagara

Located across 13 acres in the hills of Sagara, Lords Sahyadri Resort offers panoramic views and a serene environment. Surrounded by chikoo plantations and located near Jog Falls, the property is designed for both relaxation and group travel.

The resort features well-appointed rooms, a swimming pool, bar, and banquet facilities, making it suitable for family vacations, corporate offsites, and social events.

Leadership Perspective

Commenting on the expansion, Pushpendra Bansal, Chief Operating Officer, Lords Hotels & Resorts, highlighted the brand’s continued focus on building destinations that combine comfort, quality, and guest satisfaction. He noted that Shivamogga aligns with the company’s vision of offering tranquil environments where travellers can unwind and reconnect with nature.

Strategic Significance

This expansion reinforces Lords Hotels & Resorts’ growing footprint in India’s leisure segment, particularly in lesser-explored destinations. By investing in experiential resorts in regions like Shivamogga, the brand is positioning itself to capture demand from travellers seeking sustainable, nature-driven getaways.
