Indian Hotels Company Limited has announced the signing of a new SeleQtions hotel in Digha, a coastal destination along the Bay of Bengal in West Bengal. The greenfield development marks another step in IHCL’s strategy to expand into emerging leisure and cultural destinations across India.
The property will feature 56 keys and is designed to serve both leisure travellers and event-driven guests, with an all-day dining restaurant, bar, event venues, pool, fitness centre, and spa. The hotel is being developed in partnership with Ambuja Neotia Group, a longstanding collaborator with IHCL in regional hospitality development.
Digha has traditionally drawn visitors from Eastern India for its beaches and coastline, but the destination is increasingly being recognised for its spiritual tourism circuit as well, a combination that is broadening its year-round visitor base and attracting branded hospitality investment.
With this signing, IHCL’s portfolio in West Bengal grows to 17 hotels, including nine currently in development, reinforcing the company’s presence across high-growth regional markets in India.
