IHCL Unveils Plans for 11th Hotel in Lucknow

Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) today announced the signing of a hotel in Lucknow under its Claridges Collection brand, with the project set to be a brownfield development.

Suma Venkatesh, Executive Vice President, Real Estate & Development, IHCL, said, “Lucknow has evolved into one of North India’s most promising destinations, supported by the city’s cultural richness, improving infrastructure and rising commercial activity, enhancing its appeal for both business and leisure travellers. The addition of Claridges Collection, Lucknow will further strengthen IHCL’s brandscape in the city. We are pleased to continue our partnership with MD Projects Pvt. Ltd. with this project.”

Located on Lohia Path, the 108-key Claridges Collection, Lucknow is envisioned to reflect the city’s timeless grandeur, drawing inspiration from Awadh’s rich architectural heritage while seamlessly blending classic elegance with modern sophistication.

The hotel will offer an all-day dining restaurant, a bar, two specialty restaurants, and a lobby lounge designed as a welcoming social hub. Guests will also have access to a swimming pool, a fitness centre, and a spa offering holistic wellness experiences. In addition, the property will feature meeting rooms and a banquet hall spanning over 4,000 sq. ft., complemented by dedicated pre-function areas for events and gatherings.

Saurabh Ladhani, Executive Director, Ladhani Group, said, “This project reflects our long-term commitment to creating landmark hospitality assets in North India. As part of the Ladhani Group, we remain focused on building enduring partnerships and delivering developments that combine scale, quality and vision.”

Vivek Ladhani, MD Projects Private Limited, said, “We are happy to extend our on-going association with IHCL and collaborate once again to bring the Claridges Collection brand to Lucknow.”

Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, is renowned for its rich classical arts and celebrated Awadhi cuisine. Visitors to the city can explore iconic landmarks such as the Bara Imambara, Rumi Darwaza, and the bustling Hazratganj.

With the addition of this property, Indian Hotels Company Limited will expand its portfolio in Lucknow to 11 hotels, including six that are currently under development.
