IHG to open Holiday Inn Siliguri by 2027

New hotel targets growing business and leisure demand in Siliguri

IHG Hotels & Resorts is set to open Holiday Inn Siliguri in 2027 in partnership with Four Vedas Hotels & Resorts. The hotel will cater to business, MICE and leisure travellers, enhancing IHG’s presence in India’s emerging destinations.

Hospitality major IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement to launch Holiday Inn Siliguri, in partnership with Four Vedas Hotels & Resorts, a joint venture between Kaysons Group, Sagar Group, and Golden Goenka Group.

In a press statement, IHG says that this new hotel, located in West Bengal at the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas, is slated to open in 2027 as part of IHG’s strategy to expand in high-potential secondary markets across India.

The statement adds that Siliguri is a crucial commercial gateway to North-East India, connecting the region with Nepal, Bangladesh, and Bhutan, making it a vital hub for cross-border trade, logistics, and transport. The city’s strategic location ensures robust demand from both business and leisure travellers, particularly for international-branded hotels.

IHG says that the Holiday Inn Siliguri will embody the brand’s next-generation Open Lobby concept, offering a social and versatile environment for guests to dine, work, and relax.

It adds that the hotel will feature 111 rooms, three dining options, two flexible meeting venues, and a fitness centre. Positioned in Siliguri’s city centre, it aims to capture demand from the growing Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) sector, business hubs and tourism activities in the Himalayan foothills.

“We are delighted to announce the signing of Holiday Inn Siliguri, further strengthening our mainstream portfolio in India. Siliguri’s significance as a commercial and transit hub, along with its growing prominence in trade and MICE, makes it an ideal location for us to open a hotel. With its modern design, versatile offerings, and the trusted hospitality IHG is known for, the hotel will be a key addition to our expanding network in India,” says Sudeep Jain, Managing Director, South West Asia, IHG Hotels & Resorts.

“We are proud to partner with IHG Hotels & Resorts to bring the globally renowned Holiday Inn brand to Siliguri.
