Sayaji Hotels Accelerates Growth with Six New Signings Across Emerging Indian Destinations

Sayaji Hotels, known for its signature “Yours Truly” hospitality philosophy, has taken a major step forward in its national expansion roadmap with the signing of six new properties across multiple states in India. This development strengthens the brand’s presence in high-potential Tier 2 and Tier 3 locations—regions now witnessing a surge in domestic travel and business movement.

New Signings Across India

The newly announced locations include:

• Mandav & Kanha, Madhya Pradesh

• Baramati, Maharashtra

• Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh

• Bhavnagar & Junagadh, Gujarat

Each destination has been selected for its strong travel ecosystem—from wildlife tourism and pilgrimage circuits to regional business hubs and cultural landmarks.

Why These Destinations Matter

Domestic tourism has undergone a dramatic shift, with travellers increasingly choosing culturally rich, lesser-explored cities over traditional metros. Improved air connectivity, new highways, and rising disposable incomes are fueling hotel demand in India’s emerging markets.

These six cities represent different travel moods:

Sayaji Hotels’ expansion strategy aligns strongly with this evolving travel pattern.

Leadership Insight: A Shift Toward Non-Metro Hospitality

Commenting on the new signings, Sumera Dhanani, Corporate Head – Business Development, noted that the earlier assumption that hospitality demand was concentrated in metro cities no longer holds true.

“Improved infrastructure, stronger regional economies and new traveller expectations have transformed Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets into powerful growth engines,” she shared. “These destinations now offer guests a depth of cultural experiences not always found in large cities — and that is where Sayaji sees significant future opportunity.”

Dhanani also revealed that the group expects to add more than 2,000 additional keys in the next six months, signaling one of the fastest expansion phases in the company’s history.

A Consistent Brand Experience Across Diverse Destinations

Despite the geographical diversity of the new signings, Sayaji Hotels maintains a unified promise—personalised attention, intuitive service, and a balance of regional identity with contemporary design.

The six new hotels will reflect:

• Design inspired by local culture

• Warm, hospitality-led service culture

• Experiences tailored for business, leisure, and family travellers

A New Phase of Growth for Sayaji Hotels

This large-scale expansion demonstrates the brand’s confidence in India’s evolving travel ecosystem. As demand accelerates outside metros, Sayaji aims to position itself among the most accessible, culturally attuned hotel groups in the country.

With more signings expected in the coming quarters, the hospitality industry is watching closely as Sayaji strengthens its footprint across India’s next wave of high-growth destinations.
