Cygnett on fast growth trajectory, signed ninth hotel in India’s Northeastern region, in scenic Guwahati

Cygnett Hotels & Resorts, one of India’s leading and most preferred hospitality brands, has announced the signing of its ninth property in the Northeast region – Cygnett Park Guwahati. The company has partnered with SRKS Hospitalities Private Limited to launch this premium midscale hotel in Guwahati, a key gateway to Northeast India.

The hotel is scheduled to open its doors to guests in July 2026. The upcoming Cygnett Park will be strategically located at the border of Guwahati and Meghalaya. The hotel offers convenient access, situated just 45 minutes from Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport and only 15 minutes from the Guwahati city centre, making it ideal for both business and leisure travellers.

Cygnett Hotels & Resorts expansion in Guwahati comes on the heels of its recent signing of Cygnett Park Itanagar in Arunachal Pradesh, highlighting a strong commitment to expanding its footprint across India with special emphasis on the culturally rich and fast-emerging Northeastern region.

Just a short drive from key transit points and commercial hubs, Cygnett Park Guwahati is perfectly positioned to become a preferred address for business travellers, vacationers, bespoke corporate gatherings and grand destination weddings, perfectly complementing the Government of India’s renewed efforts to promote growth in this vibrant region.

“We were one of the first branded hospitality chains to establish a presence in Northeast India. We are steadily moving toward a 2000-key footprint in the region by 2029. In the Rising Northeast Summit 2025, which took place earlier this year, some of the key Indian industries announced investments worth more than ₹4.3 lakh crore to explore opportunities in the Northeast. The economic growth happening in the region is playing an instrumental role in the development of the tourism and hospitality sector here,” said Sarbendra Sarkar, founder & managing director, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts.

The Cygnett Park brand is defined by its commitment to green, refreshing and wellness-oriented hospitality with affordable luxury. Enhancing the charm of its picturesque surroundings, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts will bring its Cygnetture culinary excellence to the hotel, promising an unforgettable gastronomic experience. The hotel will feature a vibrant all-day dining restaurant with al fresco seating alongside a rooftop speciality outlet celebrating the rich and diverse flavours of the Northeast and a vegetarian restaurant.

Cygnett Park Guwahati will also offer 108 modern rooms and suites, along with a chic bar, 9,000 sq ft of banqueting and conference spaces, wellness amenities including a spa, fitness centre, swimming pool, and recreational areas for its guests.

Guwahati, often referred to as the gateway to Northeast India, is a vibrant city that seamlessly blends natural beauty with cultural richness. Nestled on the banks of the mighty Brahmaputra River, it serves as a vital commercial, educational, and tourism hub for the region. With its ancient temples, vibrant markets, and proximity to scenic destinations like Shillong and Kaziranga, Guwahati offers a unique blend of tradition, modernity, and unmatched connectivity. “As Cygnett Hotels & Resorts moves ahead with its ambitious target to establish itself as a 100-plus strong hotel group in the coming years, we are targeting to open 12-15 properties across the country annually. Northeast India is strategically important for our expansion plans,” added Sarkar.

The hospitality group currently has eight hotels in the Northeast, including operational properties as well as those in various stages of development and pre-opening.
