Indian Hotels Company Limited has announced the signing of a Taj hotel in Guwahati, marking the brand’s first entry into the capital of Assam. The agreement was signed in the presence of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
The project involves the renovation and repositioning of an existing 150-key property, with an additional 100 rooms to be developed on an expanded site of over nine acres, bringing the total to 250 keys. The hotel will feature speciality restaurants, meeting and banqueting facilities, and the brand’s J Wellness Circle spa, catering to both corporate and leisure travellers.
Guwahati has steadily grown as a commercial and cultural hub and the primary gateway to Northeast India, with improving infrastructure and rising business activity driving demand for quality hospitality. The new Taj property is designed to reflect the culture and traditions of Assam, positioning it as an urban retreat rooted in its regional context.
With this signing, IHCL’s portfolio in Guwahati grows to five hotels, including three currently under development.
