IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced a management agreement with Rajdeep Infra & Sales Pvt Ltd to develop a voco hotel in Lucknow, India. Set to open in Q3 2029, this 135-key hotel will be located in the prime Ashiyana area, known for its excellent connectivity and proximity to Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport. This move marks IHG's strategic expansion of its premium brand portfolio in key Indian urban centres.
Lucknow, the capital of India's most populous state, is a burgeoning hub for business, government, education, and cultural tourism. The introduction of the voco brand, known for its unique blend of informality and global quality, aims to cater to the city's growing demand for premium hospitality experiences. Sudeep Jain, Managing Director, South West Asia, IHG Hotels & Resorts, stated, “This signing is a strategic step in expanding our premium portfolio in India’s integral state capitals.”
The voco Lucknow will be the third IHG property in the city, joining the existing Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza hotels. Aman Singh Chauhan, Director of Rajdeep Infra & Sales Pvt Ltd, expressed confidence that the voco brand will fill a notable gap in Lucknow's hospitality landscape, appealing to modern travellers.
IHG currently operates 51 hotels across six brands in India, with plans to expand to over 400 hotels in the next five years. This development underscores IHG's commitment to strengthening its brand presence in high-potential markets
