The Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL), part of Tata Group and headquartered in Mumbai, has unveiled the signing of an agreement to develop a 250 - key Taj hotel in Guwahati, sprawling city beside the Brahmaputra River, in the northern Indian state of Assam.
Guwahati is known for its rich cultural and historical heritage with holy sites like the hilltop Kamakhya Temple, featuring shrines to the Hindu deities Shiva and Vishnu, its excavated archaeological site at Ambari in the heart of the city, and its adjoining areas provide myriad attractions for tourists with 11 forest reserves, several wetlands including Deepor Beel, a Ramsar site and hill ranges.
Marking the brand’s debut in Assam’s capital, the agreement was signed in the presence of Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma.
The project will involve a comprehensive renovation and reposition of 150 keys and the addition of 100 new keys, resulting in a total of 250 rooms.
The Taj Guwahati on a land parcel of over 9 acres will be located in the heart of the city, offering an easy access to major attractions like Assam State Museum that showcases the culture and history of the region, Dighalipukhuri Park, Brahmaputra Riverfront, popular for guided walking tours and sunset boat rides, Umananda Temple located on the “Peacock Island” in the middle of the river and the iconic Kamakhya Temple, a major Hindu pilgrimage site on Nilachal Hill.
The property will feature specialty restaurants, the brand’s J Wellness Circle serving both business and leisure travellers and expansive banqueting and meeting facilities.
The hotel will join the emblematic Taj brand, characterized by its deep Indian heritage and authentic cultural experience, world - class service and a strong commitment to sustainability.
The brand also focuses on preserving Indian culinary traditions and craftmanship, maintaining an iconic luxury image, and expanding its global presence highlighting responsible tourism.
With this addition, The Indian Hotels Company Limited will boast five hotels in Guwahati, including three currently under development.
