Sarovar Hotels and Resorts, which forms part of Paris-based Groupe Du Louvre hotels, has opened its latest hotel in India, Shyama Sarovar Portico in the spiritual and soulful gateway city of Orai in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh.
In a press statement, Sarovar Hotels says that its hotel is located about 500 km south of Delhi, on the Kanpur-Jhansi National Highway and a 10-minute drive from the Orai railway station and is within easy reach to places of religious significance. It adds that Shyama Sarovar Portico is a perfect destination for a weekend gateway, staycations, destination weddings, business meets and off-sites and is the foremost branded and theme-based hotel in the region.
The statement adds that spread over close to five acres, the hotel features 72 rooms and suites, executive cottages and honeymoon cottages. It also comes with an all-day dining restaurant, a swimming pool as well as a fitness centre and a salon.
Sarovar Hotels says that the property possesses large banquet halls and outdoor venues, and can accommodate mid-size to large gatherings of up to 1,000 guests.
The statement adds that the resort-style hotel draws its architectural and design inspiration from Balinese culture and architecture. Use of natural and organic materials including wood, bamboo poles, teak wood, brick, and stone lends the hotel a perfect resort-like ambience.
