The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts is set to make its debut in Northeast India with the signing of a 140-key luxury property in Ranka, Sikkim. Owned by the SIBIN Group, The Leela Sikkim is scheduled to open in December 2026.
Spread across 17 acres, the property is located around 10 kilometres from Gangtok, overlooking Gangtok Hill against the backdrop of the Himalayas. The project marks a significant addition to the brand’s luxury leisure portfolio, bringing its signature hospitality to one of India’s emerging mountain destinations.
The resort will feature 88 luxury rooms and 35 independent villas, including 20 wellness villas, 13 twin villas and a six-room double-storey villa. Dining options will include an all-day restaurant, a speciality restaurant, a dedicated wellness restaurant and a lounge bar.
Guests will also have access to a wellness centre, casino and a range of indoor and outdoor activities. The development aims to combine the region’s natural beauty and cultural heritage with curated wellness and leisure experiences.
The signing marks The Leela’s expansion into a new region, while strengthening Sikkim’s appeal as a destination for luxury travel and wellness tourism.
