Ayodhya's growing tourism attracts both luxury and budget friendly hotel giants

Several hotels have announced new projects in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, in the wake of Ram temple. Indian Hotels Company, India’s largest hospitality company, has signed two new hotels in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, under the Vivanta and Ginger brands.

The complex with the two hotels, sprawled over five acres, is strategically located at a comfortable driving distance from the upcoming Ayodhya International Airport. The 100-room Vivanta will offer an all-day diner, large banqueting spaces, and recreational facilities including a pool, and health club. The 120-room Ginger will house Qmin, the all-day diner serving local and global cuisines, meeting rooms, and a fitness centre.

OYO, a budget hospitality chain, plans to launch 400 new properties in major spiritual hotspots of the country, including Ayodhya, Puri, Shirdi, Varanasi, Amritsar, Tirupati, Haridwar, and Katra-Vaishno Devi. The planned expansion in major spiritual destinations has been fuelled by a surge in domestic travel and rising interest in spiritual tourism.

In addition, Ayodhya is set to receive its first seven-star hotel that caters exclusively to vegetarians. The hotel will feature 56 fully air-conditioned rooms, each adorned with unique décor, and will house Naivedyam, a pure vegetarian restaurant catering to the discerning palate.

Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan has acquired a piece of land within The Sarayu, an exclusive 7-star mixed-use development located in Ayodhya, developed by Mumbai-based company The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL). The land spans approximately 10,000 square feet and holds an estimated value of ₹14.5 crore.
